12 gauge reproductions
Were the 12 Gauge Reproductions chambered for 2 3/4" only? Thanks.

No, many if not most; 12-ga. Repros with 28" barrels were chambered for 3" shells.
|
All of the 26" guns were 23/4" only.All 28" are 3".I really don't know why they did it that way.Seems t me that it would have been more cost effective to make all 12s 3" and just shoot shorter shells if you choose to.

John, we know that the Sporting Clays Classic model are 12-ga. guns with 28" barrels. They are stamped with just "12 GAUGE 2 3/4" on the left barrel. The two I own (one is NIB unfired) do have 3" chambers and all paper (brochures and write-ups) that I'm aware of state they have 3" chambers. Others, too; have reported their SCCs as having 3" chambers, but there is one forum associate that measured his SCC with a chamber gauge at 2 3/4". Do you have any explanation why the factory stamped this particular model at only 2 3/4"?

Both my 12’s were 28” Modified/Full stamped 2 3/4.. Have never actually measured though.

I think that if you measure all 28" guns,they are 3" chambered.As to why the guns are stamped 23/4" I can only guess that the Japanese thought you would only shoot clays with 23/4"shells and marked the barrels accordingly.From a manufacturing standpoint,it makes sense to standardize the barrels.Every 26" gun I have seen had 23/4"and every 28"had 3" no matter how it was marked.There is also the possibility that the clays guns were marked 23/4" by mistake.Anyone who has worked in a production line knows errors can happen.

I’ll have to measure mine, although it does make sense they’d all be 3”
|
JMO of course; I for one like the fact the PR manufacturing effort did not strive to standardize everything. (ie: 2-3/4 vs 3" chambers)
|
Received my new 12 gauge two barrel set today. It is marked 2 3/4".
|
Are 12 gauge Parker Repro Sporting Clays Classic’s safe to shoot with steel shot?
