Dave,
The voice of experience says stick with 2 ounce loads in that 3 1/2 inch gun. A #3 frame just isn't quite heavy enough for the 2 1/4 ounce stuff, it will kick your head off and I've had the headaches to prove it.
Did you get the wall thickness measured at the chamber heads? If the barrel taper is strong there's a chance they might be a little thin with that kind of chamber extension.
These 10 gauge Parkers are murder on ducks and geese, you'll enjoy using it in the blind I guarantee.
