Parker 10 Gauge Double
I took out my new to me Parker PH 10 gauge on a waterfowl hunt this morning and my first chance to pull the triggers ended in a double on Buffleheads. I also dropped a honker out of a nice size flock. I was shooting Bismuth 1 1/4oz #4's being propelled with Longshot.
The PH was built in 1914 and has 32" Twist Steel barrels as it letters and weights 9lbs 10oz. The chokes measure cylinder and IC so I'm guessing they were opened up at some point. No chokes are mentioned in the letter.
