Better pictures can be got on an overcast day where there is no possibility of glare from the sun.

Agreed, but today I would have a slicker and an umbrella in the way!! Rained 7.5” so far!

You've stepped in it now. If that little gun shoots well, you'll not want to shoot all those big bore guns. Sub gauge guns can be an addiction.

Oh Todd,

I “stepped in it” a long time ago. Untill this dam vintage gun sickness grabbed me a few years ago, my go to dove and quail Guns have mainly been .410’s and 28’s, starting with an Elsie .410 that I bought in a pawnshop in college, and traded for a d12/28 MARTIN guitar. I had Mark DeHaan build me a really sweet little gun about 15 years ago, that I have put truckloads of rounds through. This little Parker feels great, and I am formulating a plan for her.

You gotta like a man with diverse interests between big bore sxs's and subgauge sxs's. Its like asking someone what type of music they like and they respond "We like both kinds of music, Country or Western"

Enjoy that new fowling piece.

You've got a point there.

I'm guessing those measurements are MBWT...

Most likely true, Dean. Still, what instrument, (in a gunsmith's tool kit) measuring either bore diameter, or wall thickness, gives a one tenth resolution?

[Southpaw]

Just a hunch but I think Mark reported that the barrel thickness for both is about .026 for both barrels. Then quickly indicated that barrels were modified and full without giving the constrictions. If both barrels were .0266 and .0265, I'd say both were full and full. I have not had my barrels measured and have never seen this piece in person but did see old Larry measuring a barrel thickness. His was an analog gauge but not certain why it can't be digital.

Btw digital weight scales are an inferior technology. I had one that was constantly wrong. Have an old analog bathroom scale that I use that gives me a number I much prefer.
