What difference would 1/4” make anyway? The chokes would not have been affected by a reduction of 1/4”. Parker customarily bores chokes with from 0” to as much as 3/8” of “parallel” bore at the muzzle. “Trimmed” barrels are not uncommon and IMO do not detract from a ‘shooter’ gun’s value.

I got an NH a few years back that was pretty much a beater but useful for actual use . Anyway there was an ever so slight part at the muzzle , so we clamped it in the vise on the mill and took a skoosh over 1/8” off the muzzle problem solved as the minute separation disappeared and after shooting several hundred times it didn’t restart .

It looks like a PH… is it?

Correct Dean...

Randy, looking at the muzzle, straight on, there is nothing to support either argument. In my opinion, the termination line is the giveaway. If you were to add a full quarter inch to the existing blank portion, it wouldn't look like any rib I've ever seen, so I would have to say it's original.

Dean, would the rib matting be the indicator of the grade of gun from that one photo?

The word "Twist" would be the word used for a grade 1 (P grade) hammerless gun. That's what it is and had 25 1/2" barrels. The rib matting was the same on all grades. I think Dean just looked at the barrel pattern and identified it as Twist.

Not at all the rib matting. The Twist barrels were the give-away.

Thanks Dean. I had to blow up the photo to see the pattern on the barrels.

And there are a LOT of examples of Parkers who's barrels are a tad longer or shorter than how they are listed in the factory records.
