not from the serial number, it was most likely made with short chambers. Only having them measured would answer what they are now

Thanks for the quick reply and what a great site... Any down sides of the 2.5'" shells or would it be price effective to open it up to modern 2.75"

no down side with 2 1/2 shells at all -but there may be downsides with extending chambers depending on wall thickness
give RST a call http://www.rstshells.com/

Anything is possible but it's unlikely lengthening the chambers that much will be an issue.

The gun you specify should have fluid steel barrels. In that case, low pressure, low velocity 2 3/4 " shells should be fine. I've shot such for years in my short chamber Parker 20s. This short chamber/long cartridge topic has been discussed here before ad nauseum.

I agree. I have shot W-W AA 20 ga shells for years at grouse and woodcocks in
a short chambered VH. I prefer short shells but 2.75 work fine. Last edited by Jeff Christie; 11-22-2014 at 11:08 AM.. Reason: Spelling |

I use the 2 1/2 inch shell in everything from 12 to 410 for both upland birds and clays. You will not have an issue using the shorter shell. Contact RST and have them send you a case. Try em you'll like em.
