That is generally what I understood until Dr. Drew Hause posted a lot of information with several different gun manufacturers chokes.... seems not all manufacturers adhered to that philosophy of the right barrel/forward trigger being the Skeet Out or Skeet 1 choke and the left being left barrel/rear trigger being the Skeet In or Skeet 1 choke. And then I suppose on guns with a single selective trigger it wouldn't make one whit of difference which barrel was choked which way. But Pete, to his credit, used the words "normally" and "usually", knowing that not all SXS skeet guns were choked that way.

Further, on a SXS earlier than 1926 there was no such thing as "Skeet" chokes anyway, the first designated skeet guns weren't manufactured until sometime later in the twenties.

Be very careful when buying a gun advertised with "skeet chokes" as this could easily be a gun with cut barrels or opened chokes.

Normally and usually apply to a lot of aspects of the Parker Gun because as many of us have come to learn, never say never about what the P Bros did with a gun.
