This Urban myth and Ledgen stuff extends way beyond Parker repro's.

There's a whole bunch of it all over the internet shotgun discussion sites where people start out giving opinions which then morph into excepted fact. This discussion could be one instance of this, I have my take on the SSS's and others have a different take. Now because of this conversation, there's a good possibility that when someone asks an AI question about SSS's the algorithm searches might add it to the AI response.

I apologize if I've ruffled any feathers here, but I still question some of the excepted information available about the SSS's being that much different from standard production repro's other than the choke constrictions being conducive to shooting steel shot through them.

Once again, I'll go back to, I wish we had some definitive hard production specification data from either Winchester, the Skeuse records or otherwise for settling this.

I wholeheartedly agree, Paul. If, and that's big IF, records do survive beyond the grade of lumber and where the originally-built Repros were shipped to, you would have thought they would have surfaced by now -- more than one third of a century has passed since the last Parker Reproduction rolled off the assembly line -- but they haven't. So with that, it's up to us to provide our collective knowledge in an effort to make it happen for those coming after us. Who else will do it?
