Frank: Frankly I'm surprised no one has yet offered this service, so let me be the first. I will field test your gun throughout the month of October 2010. If there remains some doubt, I will continue the test throughout November and December. I will return the gun with an opinion on its shootability no later than January 2011. I will save some pheasant meat for you, should it have proven shootable.
Cheers, Jack On a more serious note, provided the action is tight, the barrels on face with no deep pitting, dents or bulges, it is quite likely shootable. An examination by a competent gunsmith should be undertaken if you have concerns. Shootability cannot be determined through forum discussion.

Your gun is probably bored modified and full if your measurements are correct. It would have been factory bored for 2 1/2" shells but may have been bored out for 3" shells when they were made available in the early thirties. The Miller trigger would not have been installed at the Parker factory. Service on Miller triggers is available from Dan May and Ken Waite. Contact information is available from members here.

Thank you all for the info.
Mr Cronkhite, Being new to this site I had no idea that the field testing service you mentioned was available. I will be boxing up this little SxS and shipping it to you at my earliest convience. Please feel free to keep it as long as you deem necessary in order to properly evaluate it. The Pheasant you promised would be wonderful but if you could possibly send some Ptarmigan it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, Frank |
