Having been a reasonably competitive trap shooter, six years on the NH state team, I know trap shooters and competitive skeet shooters will make any and all alterations to a gun to make it work better for them, even if the alteration only changes how you feel, confidence is everything.

With modern guns people change chokes all the time, we take it for granted, but back in '41 if you wanted the gun to shoot tighter there was one choice, send it back for a rebarrel. Uncommon but I doubt unusual.

Wouldn't that then require a "2" on the repair code as a rebarrel, versus a 3 ?

From what I've seen of the 2, is on barrels for Model 11/Sportsman or Model 31s that were sent to and fitted by authorized gunsmiths outside the factory. I'm guessing that Parker barrels were only done at the factory and would have the 3 for repair.

I don't think I'd put to much stock in the number of GHE skeet guns per TPS. I owned a 20ga GHE skeet and have a GHE 16 skeet/trap two barrel set with all the options and 28 inch barrels.
