Today I was shown an 1890 Parker "P" grade 12 gauge gun with twist steel barrels. The serialization book shows the barrels as having been 30" when it left the facory, they are currently 29" long.

My brass choke gauge shows no choke in either barrel. With having only one inch removed from the barrels, would all choke have been removed?

I have read that some Parkers have very long chokes. Would this have been an open choked gun to begin with?

Thanks for replies.
