Angel,
Many times the barrels were shortened in order to remove choke. Some choke could be put back by back boring the barrels. As far as length of choke goes I think anywhere from 3" to 5" is pretty normal for a Parker.

Thanks Larry!! Would 2 inches of choke be as effective as the 3-5 inches?

Angel, Generally speaking the longer the transition from bore to muzzle(choke)there is less deformation of pellets thus a more even consistant pattern.

Parkers made prior to the Remington buyout were bored with an ogee profile in the choke area and were known for throwing very even, consistant and hard hitting patterns. That is why I cringe when someone wants to open their chokes. I don't know if any of the barrel guy's are able to duplicate a Parker factory choke.

What about if a gun was sent back to Parker Bros for "credit" with 28 inch bbls and was later resold with 26 inch bbls. What then?

Ok Angel....Give it up...What did you buy?..... Some good pictures of the muzzle ends of the barrels could help solve this mystery.

Two possible scenerios....New 26" barrels were fitted to the gun or the 28's were bobbed.

No pictures yet but she's a 16 ga Lifter The owner says there's a very small space between the bbls.
