My 1918 DHE 20 was ordered to have 2 5/8 inch chambers. It has 30 inch barrels and open chokes as specified in the order.

Garry, a DHE 20 with 30" barrels and open chokes, would be a dream gun for me.
I have really come to like 30" open choke guns.

I have a 30-inch barrel, AE-Grade, 20-gauge, Ansley H. Fox that shipped in 1920 to B.H. Dyas Co. in Los Angles. The order card specified "chamber for 2 3/4 shell". The chambers are 2 5/8 inch.

Wow Dave, what a great gun. How is she choked?

It cards full and full and measures .031" in both barrels. I bought it 15 years ago from Wes Dillon when he was still running the Gun Library at the flagship store in Sidney. Truth be told I shot one round of trap with it as a function test and it has been a gunroom queen ever since.

Saw Wes at the Colorado Gun Collectors show in May. He is living in Colorado now.

I'll have to measure the chamber length in my ejector Sterlingworth 28" with .043" of choke in the left barrel.

I just checked - the chamber length is 2 5/8" which is correct for 2 3/4" shells.

It's probably 2.5" Dean but in the meanwhile check out the thread "2.5 vs. 2.75in. on the Fox site. Scott Kittridge has done some interesting, but not surprising to me, pattern testing with a 20ga. Fox.

By the way Dean, do you have the bore dimensions and the constrictions for both barrels?

It's 2 5/8" Daryl. I edited my above post to reflect this.
