I'm in Atlanta, but could ship gun or barrels if need be. Desired use is quail/dove and casual sporting clays.

Alan,
Brileys in Houston Texas has been doing chokes and choke tubes for years.I have had several chokes opened up on these old shooters. Call them and discuss what you want..turn around is usually a week ..You will be happy with their work.It would help if you know the wall thickness of the barrels...Bill Faulk Brileys 1-800-331-5718 |

I'm familiar with them.... lived in Houston for a couple of years in the late 80's. Do you think tubes are a legitimate option? I've had an early Citori tubed, but hadn't really thought of doing it with a Parker... but maybe worth considering.

Alan,
Sorry for the misunderstanding..I do not suggest choke tubes in the Parker but having Briley rheam out your chokes to more open constrictions that suit your type of shooting and hunting A choke rheamed out to 0.15 would be a lighe mod...0.20 would be a mod ..imp.cy.would be a 0.10 etc. They use the old method of opening the chokes up.

Michael Orlen from Amherst, MA is very good. I've used him in the past for my LC and the turnaround is very quick.

Alan,
Another way to approach shooting with tight chokes is to use the SPREADER loads made by R.S.T. or POLY-WAD for anyshots less than 25 yards,.They come in 2.5 " length,1oz or 7/8 oz..size 8,7.5,6.This my choice for close shots and you do not have to change the gun. Bill |

Choke
Alan; my experience with similar Parkers is that the first (right) barrel shoots patterns that open quickly; more like IC than mod. Try the gun at a few hand thrown birds or a round of skeet before you change it.
Best, Austin |

Shoot it at a pattern board set at distances that you customarily expect to shoot your selected gamebirds at. If it patterns too tightly I too, would suggest using spreader loads and it has been the experience of a few members here, myself included, that even out to thirty or thirty-five yards they will produce killing patterns with #8 shot.
