26" barrels are quite common on Parkers from .410 up to 12 ga. but scarce on 10 ga. and unheard of on 8 ga. guns

I have a 26-inch barrel, 0-frame, VH-Grade, 20-gauge, shipped in 1930. It still has the short chambers for the 2 1/2 inch shells, and is choked plenty tight. I'm at our place in Kodiak, AK, away from my records, so can't give what the letter and my micrometer says about the chokes right now.

Number 171102 is a 26" Titanic 16 gage choked RH Cyl. LH Mod. per it's PGCA letter. Number 176884 is a 26" Titanic 12 gage choked RH. Cyl. LH Full per it's letter. I have other examples of guns ordered with one barrel open and the other tight. Having hunted for years with a flusher this combination with two triggers offers the choice not to destroy a close flush or to pull the back trigger on a bird that gets up at extreme ranges.
