If the factory cut the chokes at 2 7/8” or thereabouts it was made for 3” shells.

My 1930-vintage VH 0-frame 20-gauge has the 2 3/8-inch chambers intended for 2 1/2-inch shells. The progressive burning powder, high velocity, 1 ounce 20-gauge loads, mostly put up in 2 3/4-inch cases, came out in 1922, but Parker Bros. certainly didn't rush to chamber their 20-gauges for such loads. Remington made their Model 17 20-gauge pump for 2 3/4-inch shells from the get go and Winchester began making their Model 12 20-gauges for 2 3/4-inch shells by 1926.

That is one fine looking VH either way! Congrats, my first impression was that it was not factory also

Thanks Harold, other than being straight stocked, my favorite part is the narrow feel of the wrist. I told my friend that every once in a while a gun comes along that just fits. This is one.

Great looking little 20. Straight stock too. I'm looking for something like that.

I have a 1917 VHE 20 with a 3 stamped where I usually see the barrel weight and the gun has 3 inch chambers which I wonder if they were extended. What I have read on this forum and elsewhere is that some of the CA duck club guns were 3 inch 20 ga. and dated around 1917. My gun has 26 inch barrels choked Imp Mod and cylinder. Any thoughts on this one?

That is a great little 20 that you have and like I mentioned, the 3 on your gun is identical to the 3 and its position on my 0 frame 20.

Alfred, if your gun has a "3" stamped where the barrel weight is usually stamped, the "3" is the barrel weight, 3 pounds, zero ounces.
