Ed,I agree with Harry 100% But I think another factor plays in here.I believe Parker used the .730 +/- as nominal bore but after patterning if the gun did not achieve the pellet count that they wanted they would backbore to put more choke in the gun if that was needed. These yankee craftsmen were way to frugal to waste a set of barrels. Also we have alot of guns that were sent back to"clean out barrels". I used to have a one frame 12 1885 gun with .732 bores.
