Readily Available Parkers

[Carl Erickson Jr]

I am looking at a similar GH to purchase . It is a beautiful gun but..... it has a 25 inch set of barrels, cylinder/cylinder. It should have been a capitol offense to alter a Parker.
Is there a way to put a choke in those barrels?

[Bruce Day]

Yes. Briley's in Houston can cut threads and insert screw in chokes.

I don't know what the cost is, maybe $200?

Or you could go to another gun show, another dealer site, etc, and find another G grade.

[Carl Erickson Jr]

This is a local gun at what should be a reasonable price.Other than the chokes it will be a good buy as it is in excellent condition.

The search for finding the perfect gun is part of the enjoyment of being a Parker collector. The price should not be the key criterion. You have a gun for many years, it goes on adventures with you, you shoot it well , it becomes an extension of yourself. Be sure its what you want, not just what you can find or afford for the moment.

My other passions are fine bamboo fly rods and reels and handmade steel lugged road bicycles. All these are lifetime acquisitions. Get something that merges with you.

Bruce -Haven't looked on Briley's site, but I'd guess that two barrels and a handful of chokes will be closer to $7-800

Carl,

If there is enough barrel thickness you could jug choke them. I like .030" minimum. For me anything over than could be removed to form jug chokes. For a 25" barreled gun, how much choke would you want?

Wow, John, that's costly. Kind of makes a person want to look for an uncut G that needs some cosmetics for around $2000, doesn't it?

I agree -

Be "one" with your gun.

I love the engraving on this one I found five or six years ago - a sixteen 0-frame with 26" F/F barrels.

Bruce - You and I had the prices bracketed - Briley quotes $429 plus shipping and taxes. Fire for effect! Don't see if there is any price increment for thin-wall chokes, if required
