Default Tight Chokes !!
I am presently working with a seller to acquire a long barreled 12 gauge 1924 GHE, #2 frame, trap configuration with .728 bores, 2 3/4" chambers, and good MWT. What has me puzzled are the choke constrictions with both barrels being measured by a knowledgeable seller as being .062 and .064, wow ! I have never heard of constrictions as such in a Parker. Anyone here have any knowledge of chokes such as these, thoughts ? There are no surviving records on this one BTW.

Never. There is obviously a mistake in there somewhere Randy. I can see a measurement of .696 or so but even if those constrictions were correct I would bet that you could'nt get a decent pattern from them.

That's what I am thinking as well Daryl.

Maybe the barrels were back-bored (jug choked) to get a constriction like that... those chokes are about .010" tighter than any Parker 12 I have ever heard of.

Wow! You could shoot that one from the 47 yard handicap line.

I think I recall seeing as much as 60-70 thou on an SBT once. But I may be off on thinking that.

I have been "forced" to buy it. I have handled the gun previously but I did not measure the chokes then. More to follow

Well when you're "forced" to shoot it please share your patterns with us and at what yardages it continues to be effective.

Oh, and I trust you'll be taking your own measurements....

Absolutely and I hope not to prove this seller wrong but surely something is amiss here. More to follow.
