Parker Reproduction chokes revisited

[Harry Sanders]

My 20 ga reproduction barrels that I've had Brian add a set of the Galazan 16 (Krieghoff) barrels and stock to my dims because the native claro stock broke while shooting though marked M/IC were NOT M/IC. I measured them and they were Left = 0.018 constriction and right 0.016 constriction.

I like to split the difference between IC and Skeet in right and M and IM in left. I've done this on paper and it has worked very well on farm pheasants and Woodcock and Grouse for me.

I typically lengthen cones if there's plenty of thickness unless it's a collector gun. I have seen the benefit on paper of this effort as well.

It has been my experience that using larger shot significantly reduced the number of cripples. I use qood quality fives for pretty much everything. I have friends who use 7s, 8s and even 9s on quail and are leaving more for the dogs to hunt up.. My repro is choked Q1 and Q2 and patterns so well that I have never torn up a bird with the larger shot.
