I'll second the Skeets gauge. I believe the Parker Story talks about the change in bore diameter happened in the early 1890s. Austin Hogan did research on this also. The 1879 lifter I had had bores of .750 with about 30/1000s choke in each barrel. I miss Austin. Every time he spoke I learned something new about Parkers.
