"The Original Long Range Shotgun"

[OH Osthaus]

thanks Drew

My Super shipped in 1923 - .047 chokes

my longrange Smith was made in 1925 - .042 chokes

but my 3 frame 12 ga Parker was made in 1902
it has 32" heavy barrels with .038 chokes- only a little more open than the others
I can't believe that was made for anything other than waterfowl

I would like to see (heck- i'd like to have or at least shoot) a Parker that letters as a "long range"

Thanks Rick.
That raises another interesting question; has anyone received a letter documenting a "Parker Long Range", and what DOM?
