If you use a sharp high quality reamer and remove no more than .005" from the diameter it will be concentric with the bore. Want proof, drill a hole in 1/2 flat stock, measure its exact location using a shaper gage and height gage/surface gage, now ream the hole.005' on the diameter, measure its location. Did the center of the move? Answer, no!

I have never seen the need to alter chokes on a parker. If you need a more open pattern just use spreaders. Problem solved with no long lasting changes. I hunt doves, ducks, clay pigeons, and the occasional covey of quail and all of my parkers are either F and F or F and M. If I need them, spreader loads open em up plenty.

Alternatively, I must offer the insightful guidance of world-renowned double gunsmith Larry Potterfield of Midway USA. He takes these classic Parker barrels and reams them. Like nobody's business:

Yes John that will make it bigger. My interest is making it right after the gun is built. Cutting a Parker barrel would would probably change the point of impact. Either way would mess up regulation. Right?

Bill your post shared your experience and opinion which I agree with. Contrary to some of the contributors understanding, I never recommended anyone should enlarge the chokes on any gun, but understanding that some humans want to refine the performance of their guns, I shared the information I had. Bill, thanks for your contribution.

7.5 in the first barrel and 5 shot in the 2nd barrel. Just my 2 cents

In any gauge, high antimony 7 1/2's in both barrels with plenty of choke. Period.
