In 1874, the concept of chokes hadn't really been fully accepted, and Im sure a lot of Parkers still had straight walled tubes, or taper bored. Interestingly, I just shot an 1870s Lancaster, with no chokes, at Clays last week and kept right up with the high tech guys.
G T Garwood in his book (Gough Thomas Gun Book) has a chapter entitled "The Myth of Choke". Interesting reading.
