At least I didn’t add wood to the stock.

I remember seeing you handling that gun at the Southern. If I didn't have a CHE trap, I would have been all over it.

John, the changes you made to your Parker are mild. If you guys want to see some badly butchered up doubles, go to the S.A.S.S. {cowboy action shooting}
I have gone to the S.A.S.S. shoot at the Ben Avery Range in Arizona for the last 10 years. The first few years I saw high grade Parker's with Cut off barrel's, reamed out chambers, shorten stocks, tacks hammered into the wood, ejectors removed and, well when they get done firing off their shots, they ''throw'' the gun on a wooden table. Luckily for Parker Lovers, they gave up butchering Parker guns, {they don't hold up}. Their guns of choice are B-SS & Ithaca SKB doubles. Those guns are tough as nails, especially the B-SS. Harry |

Harry, in my experience the Parkers hold up pretty well.

I don’t have a horse in this race, but I’ll say this: whatever John Davis says regarding trap guns, I ain’t gonna argue with him !

John, I'm with you on the double-triggers. I have single-trigger guns but I also prefer double-triggers. Less chances of misfires and naturally, no single-trigger issues. Your choice of chokes is a good one too. .20 and .30 work. I prefer anything from LM through F. LM/IM is a good combo. As for a recoil pad, you picked a good one. Doesn't matter if it's not original or period specific. For us "shooters", it's all about shootability.

I'll second LM/IM as a very good choke combination. I love that for late season doves, and sporting clays. If I'm shooting a single trigger gun I will usually leave it set to fire the IM barrel first to kill an incomer dove "a ways" out there, then have the LM barrel for a bit closer second shot. LM/IM worked very well in Argentina for me on sixteen different shoots.
