i thought "close" meant a tight choke

[Dean Romig]

"Close" means Full Choke.

You'll do fine on the Skeet field with those chokes.

In this case I’m not sure I go along with that , I’ll measure tommorrow . However whatever it is it does well enough at Skeet I got 46 out of 50 with the puddin load (19 grains of Red Dot with 1 1/8 ounces of shot ). In the last couple weeks I shot a dozen or so of the 620 grain slugs I cast from the Russian 10 gauge version of the Lyman sabot load . Three from the right made a nice group at 25 yards and the same could be said for three from the left barrel . Their POI between the right and left was maybe 4 inches apart . The old gun also seemed relatively happy with my home cast 0000 Buck at 25 yards . So this coming season if a deer or two wish to commit suicide the old gun just might help them out .

the letter says 'close' and relates to how it left the Parker plant

what it is now - depends on the various ownership since Brothers Parker said goodbye to it

I’m quite aware that a change could have occurred . My letter says for the right barrel that IS cylinder 110 #8 shot in a 24” circle at 45 yards and 190 from the left or “close” barrel also #8’s at 45 yards in a 24” circle . That difference does not say full to me more like IC or possibly M . Now if I could find a factory original EH with 26” barrels ��

Daryl, a Lefever H grade 20--that would be a sweet little gun, is Damascus or fluid steel--Damascus I hope! What barrel length?
Just sold a very unique little Lefever Durstan Special 20, cause I never ever shot it.

[Double Lab]

They are fluid steel Harold, 28", Cyl/Full. I'll be shooting it this weekend for the first time on clays. It handled really well chasing pheasants this year, so it already has drawn first blood. I'm very impressed with it. She's coming to Ernie's in June.

[Harold Pickens]

Great chokes. I am on the fence right now with a nice Lefever G Damascus 12, 30",F/F.
My new little German hammer 16 has cyl/full chokes, going to shoot it this weekend at Hunting Hills

Widely different chokes, such as cylinder, or skeet, in bbl one, and tight, as in mod or full in bbl two, paired with double triggers is as close to nirvana as you can get in a field gun, in my humble opinion, of course.
I have a 32" BHE 12 gauge with 6k first bbl, an 40k in the other. This gun is like arsenic on pheasants!

I’ve got a WW Greener boxlick with a tang safety can’t remmember the Grade . Anyway I bought it when I was 15 or 16 . The thing was choked Lite IC and x full , it’s now Lite IC and mod . I killed a veritable pickup load of Dove with that gun .
