Leave that drop in gauge in the drawer if you are dealing with any Parker made before the 1920s.

Parker Bros. guns made in the 1870s and 1880s are well known to be seriously over-bored. I have an 1889 12-gauge that mics .757".

Ammunition loading companies offered special shells for Parker Bros. guns with a size larger wads. See Loads No. 56 & 57 --
