Generally speaking, the tighter the constriction the longer the taqper. If the choke tapers too quickly damage to the shot pellets may occur, causing flyers and disturbing the pattern and the Parker Bros. barrel borers and finishers knew this.

What is your choke constriction in thousandths of an inch and how long are the choke tapers?

Dean,

The right barrel is 0.025, the left is 0.039. Both start constricting about 4.5” in from the muzzle.

[Dean Romig]

That sounds about right to me Dylan. I would not suspect your barrels have been cut. Sometimes due to damage the muzzles get trimmed back 1/8” or so but that’s all I would think.

They are 28” on the button, just lacking the terminating line and the letter further confused the matter. I will die on the hill of a stock book error. Luckily, it’s not a super unique configuration or grade.

[Jim DiSpagno]

From where I sit, no and upon closer examination, the termination line is barely visible at the very end. Beautiful gun. Use it in good healthy

[Christopher Graves]

Thank you for the response. This was my Grandfather's on my Mother's side.He gave it to my Dad sometime in the 1960s and he gave it to me in 1980. I wish I knew more of the story of where my Grandfather got it but he has been gone a long time. Dad died last year so there is no one left to ask about it. I do remember my Dad always loved it. It will be my Son's someday. Thanks again.

[Christopher Graves]

I do have one question about the trigger. I can't find much about it. Is it factory or aftermarket ?

[Dean Romig]

That is a Parker factory single selective trigger.

I agree with Jim Dispagno's assessment of the top rib.

[David Noble]

I guess I'm the one in every crowd that has a different opinion. I do not see what looks like a termination line on the rib. It appears to be more of a chamfer
as done to remove a sharp edge after cutting, to my eyes. And, I cannot see defined keels, it looks more like solid lead solder.
I may be wrong and I will retract my opinion if everybody agrees that the barrels appear uncut, but I'm not convinced yet.
I'd like Brian Dudley, Edgar Spencer or Drew Hause to chime in on this. I would trust any one of their opinions.

[Bill Murphy]

What a great gun.
