Default 11 ga parker

today i got the 11 ga..i deemed it safe to shoot so i got a coupla low power 12 ga shells out and desided to shoot it..well she shoots good although the shells swell some in the gun makes unbreaching the gun a little stiff..it has the decorbonized barrels to me they look a whole lot like the plain steel barrels that i have..now if i can find a shell or 2 in the 11 ga to go with the old gun i will be happy.. any of you other boys out there with them 11 ga ever shoot them..charlie

The 11 gauge shells are impossible to find, I've never physically seen one other than a single photograph. The 12A brass shell do turn up if they'll fit in the gun.

gary i do not no if a 12 a shell will fit this gun or not..i read in the parker pages that they built some chambered for the 11 b shell and the 12 a paper shell i must admit that i m kinda confused about all the a and b s in these shells.. destrey i have never seen a 11 ga shell either other than a picture i believe in another post someone stated they had a box of 11 ga shells..maybe they will speak up..these early lifters are pretty unique to me but i must confess the later lifter model is the better gun but compared to a muzzle loader its a great gun.not throwing off on muzzle loaders...charlie

Charlie as they say a picture is worth a thousand words, the shell on the right is a 12-B inside a 12-A snug fit but will go inside a 12-A So the 12-A is a little larger, Gary
