What to do?
 

New member here. Bought a Remington Parker DHE skeet model and have yet popped a cap. It's up at DelGreco for repair of the gizmo that retains the ejectors. Larry D recommends that he lengthen the chambers to 2 3/4 as long as the gun is up there. A plus for ammo availability, but what about the factor of modifying the gun's originality?
I would appreciate any and all opinions.

A Remington era gun should have 2 3/4 inch chambers. I don't understand why that work is being recommended!

My bad, it is a 20ga, serial # unavailable at present but suggests 1937 manufacture.

An interesting point,to be sure.

My 1936 1&1/2 frame 12ga VHE (Remington) skeet gun has 2&1/2" chambers and that's the way it's staying.

...and the barrells are marked 2 1/2"

Thanks, Blind Dog. Does your VHE digest 2 3/4 shells?

2 1/2 inch shells are readily available. why alter it.

2-3/4 inch shells in a 2.5" chamber will not have l effect on the gun if the barrels are sound. I am sure your DHE has had several 2-3/4" shells put through it. The lighter ammo is always easier on the guns overall integrity though.

Appreciate the feedback on this issue. I'm certainly not hearing any compelling reason to modify that baby.
