Default Q1/Q2 Barrels - uncommon?
I have a set of 26 inch Parker Repro barrels marked Q1 and Q2 that I had married up to a 12 ga original Parker. Just curious. How common were Q1/Q2 barrels out of the total production of Reproductions?

I don't know if that question can be answered definitively. Although not as common as the other standard chokings, they can be found if one is persistent and diligent. The 28" Q1/Q2 barrels in all gauges could be termed as being rare and considered a prize find -- especially in 28-ga.

Although I do not scour the for sale listings like some, I have never seen a 28" Q1/Q2 choked repro. It is hard enough to find a stand alone 28" gun, much less choked something other than mod/full. The proverbial hens teeth, I say!

I was lucky enough to find a 28 Ga. 28" barrel, and had it opened to .003 and .003. It was the only way that I got an open choke 28" barrel. Billy

I had one in a 20 gauge, two-barrel-set... one set 26" choked Q1 & Q2 and the 28" barrels were also choked Q1 & Q2 - SG, BTFE, SST, it was a wonderful gun. Another Member has it now.

Beyond rare . . . a consecutively numbered pair of 28-ga. 28" DHE Parker Reproductions factory choked Q1/Q2 -- with double triggers, for crying out loud!

I guess!! Maybe I don't see them because I skip over all 28 ga offerings - no desire to own a 28. I guess somebody here will be writing a check.

Just curious as to the amount of constriction in the factory Q1/Q2 chokes?
