Gentlemen,
The right front trigger fires the right modified barrel. Left rear trigger fires the left cylinder barrel. All very conventional except the reverse of choke borings.
Scott, I thought this arrangement very unusual. Given your gun appears to be set-up in the same manner, maybe I need to keep a more open mind. Do you find many other shooters with your same preference for pulling the rear trigger first? Is this your adaptation to this particular gun or did you seek out a gun with factory choke borings that accommodates your preferred method? Have you noted many guns like this that have not been altered?
Further surprise in looking at the table of Parker gun shooters for 1901 in Parker Pages Vol. 16 Issue 2 pg. 37. I noted 2 26" guns and 1 27" gun weighing between 5# 12 oz and 7#. One gun has a DAH of 3" and 1 has a DAH of 3 1/8". These do not fit my preconceived notion of a competitive gun. These do not fit the norm of the remainder of the list but show the varied preferences of individual shooters at the time. King may have had the same preferences in a Parker.
Maybe the explanation is that M.B. King preferred to pull the rear trigger first. It would be nice to dig up some history on MB King and find out if it was his preference or something different.
Thanks for the ideas so far.
Erick
