Default Chuck Bishop's Response

I agreed to send for the letter and Chuck has responded with the research data requested.
Chuck confirmed that the subject Parker VH was ordered with 30" barrels, a Monte Carlo stock, 2-3/4" chambers and the right barrel may have been bored Modified Choke. Additional tidbit was that this gun was one of ten in the order, all with the same specifications.
Many thanks to Chuck Bishop for his timely response. I will now proceed with confidence knowing the gun's configuration is correct.

This gun was part of a 10 gun order, all the same configuration and all with a Monte Carlo stock and 2 3/4" chambers. The Monte Carlo was $10 extra for each gun.

As I told Bruce, look at the wall thickness of both barrels prior to the solder/keels. If you would continue that thickness thru the solder/keels, I'd bet the barrels touch. I think it's just oxidation hiding the fact that the barrels do touch. Try using an eraser or a Scotts Bright pad and clean that area up if they let you.

What an exciting gun, one of ten with a totally unusual option.
