the long choke is one of the reasons the parker guns shot so well, the rest is history, the early fox guns also had the long chokes. the long choke made it possible for the barrel guy to set the pattern the customer wanted. sometimes the old way is the best way

Remington Bored the Whitemore with a 15" choke reamer. I had heard this before, but confirmed it when measuring a friends gun. The taper began at the midpoint of the barrel.

I don't know the history of the Whitemore model, like when, how long, and who, etc. But, I do know it is a very beautiful hammer gun with a unique top-lever, which you push upwards to open the action. They were offered in steel, and an extra cost option was Damascus.
Here's a listing for one on GA. This is a rather plain-Jane. I thought there was an e in the model name, but this seller spells it Whitmore. http://www.gunsamerica.com/928793381...1874_10ga.htm# |
