Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

Further to what Brian has said, if the barrels were originally 28", they were likely to have been choked modified and full. Cutting 3/4" off would not have caused the barrels to substantially diverge, and I would certainly expect they still touch at the muzzle. There will still be measurable choke also.

Gentlemen,
Thank you for your replies. The serial # is 237582. apparently it is a GHE model as it has ejectors.
I'm guessing that it was originally 28", as we measured the chokes today at 17 (right barrel) and 10 thousandths(left barrel). and the choked sections are only about 1/2" long. The gun throws nice patterns and shoots to POI at about 22 yds.
I would love to know why the barrels were shortened by 3/4", but I guess we will never know as the previous owners are no longer with us.
Thanks again for your replies. Although this gun appears to have been altered, I think it will make a nice upland shooter.
Matt
