Bill, isn't the chamber length 2 5/8"?

Parker Bros. held their chambers about 1/8 inch shorter than the intended shell. The "standard" Parker Bros. chamber for the "standard" 2 1/2 inch 20-gauge shell of that era was 2 3/8 inch. I've got an 0-frame 20-gauge VH-Grade of 1930 vintage and it still has the 2 3/8 inch chamber.
