Help with my 1921 Parker "Trojan" 16 gauge that I recently purchased. I am only assuming that it has 2 1/2" chambers, I do not have appropriate tool to measure, any thoughts on this?

You can use a metal machinist 6" ruler or even a tapemeasure and flashlight. Insert the ruler in the chamber until you get to the beginning of the forcing cone. The distance from the beginning of the forcing cone to the end of the chamber is your length. Not super accurate but will get you in the ball park. A flashlight angled just right will help you see the forcing cone.

In theory the chamber should be 2 7/16 inch intended for the then "standard" 2 9/16 inch 16-gauge shells.
