For those of you who have been playing with Parker Skeet Guns for a while, how are the Skeet-In and Skeet-Out chokes bored?
Is the Skeet-In like the SKEET choke in Remington Sportsman and Model 31 Skeet Guns from 1934 to 1948? A taper reaching about .006" an inch and a quarter to inch and a half from the muzzle, then a flare to the muzzle? I've found the SKEET choke in Remington Sportsman and Model 31 Skeet Guns is just like the "Skeet Cylinder" in the right barrels of Savage's Fox Skeet & Upland Game Guns. Winchester's WS-I in the right barrel of Model 21 Skeet Guns is similar but longer.
I'm beginning to wonder if part of the reason for the demise of American side-by-side skeet guns may be how tight our makers choked the left barrel of their skeet guns. My Ithaca NID skeet guns are .016" in the 12-gauge and .014" in the 20-gauge. I recently reentered the Model 21 realm with a 1953 vintage Skeet Gun and the left WS-2 barrel sports .015" choke.
