I understand, and realize, that there may seem to be a lack of accepted terminology to describe this condition. But, in the end, a gun that is cylinder bore at the muzzles has NO choke.

However, there are many examples of Parkers that were choked “cylinder” from the factory where there is actually bore constriction of up to .005” or even .007” at the muzzle. I feel certain that this was done to get an acceptable pellet count.
