Repro Chamber Length
 

Has anyone had any experiance in lengthing chambers from 2 3/4 to 3" on a Parker Repro. I am refering to a 12ga. I would like to use for waterfowl. I have been looking for a 3" chamber gun for a while now and the one's I have found are quite a bit more expensive than 2 3/4". I suspect fewer were made.

Are there any #2 frame Repro 12s?

No, only 1 1/2 frames.

Guess not ????

Why? A 2 3/4" load will kill any waterfowl I've ever hunted. A 3" load will kill at both ends.

Don't most Repro 12's have 3" chambers? I know the 20's do so I just presumed the 12's did too.

3" chambers are not common in either 12G or 20G guns!

I've been under the impression that most, if not all, 20-ga. 28" Repros have 3" chambers and that most (but not all) 12-ga. 28" Repros have 3" chambers. And that most, if not all, 12 and 20-ga. 26" Repros have 2 3/4" chambers.



EDIT: Per the linked attached chart the SCC and SSS models were the only 12-ga. 28" guns with standard 3" chambers from the factory. The .410, 26" and 20-ga. 28" guns were standard fare with factory 3" chambers.

Guess I have the exceptions. My SCC is marked 2 3/4" and my 12 ga with 26 inch bbls, choked IC/MOD is marked 3".

Donovan, I believe your sporting clays gun is not an exception and the chart may have an error. Parker Repro paperwork is not 100% accurate. There are a few errors. Your 26" gun with 3" chambers is certainly an exception, probably a special order.
