Default Opening chokes

IMHO it all depends on what you want to do with your repro. If its pristine and purchased as an investment leave it alone. If you plan on hunting, or shooting it open the chokes. Depending on gauge, most 28 gauge repos are choked very tight. Opening them up will make the gun much more usable. Either way enjoy your guns.

Default Opening chokes

We discussed that here:
http://parkerguns.org/forums/showthread.php?t=10983
This is the same thread that some posters altered their Repros to suit their needs and swore they would never sell them in their lifetimes. But, then ultimately did sell them--a couple of them at a price much less than they were originally asking.

Considering all best thing to do if Parker Chokes are too tight is buy another gun. 3/4 of the time it's a mistake one reason or the other.

If it is a two barrel set, just shoot the short barrels. If a one barrel 28" gun, they are so scarce that the value with opened chokes would suffer. Sell it and buy a two barrel set.
