In theory its a great idea to get a letter first. Unfortunately, when one stumbles upon a desirable Parker, like a 20 ga V with 28" barrels, time is often of an essence as these guns don't last long. If you can get your hands on the gun it's not too difficult to measure the chambers. Even with a letter you probably won't know the chamber length unless the gun was ordered with a specific chamber length. I have owned two Parkers which were ordered that way; an early 12ga DH with 2-7/8" chambers and a 20 ga VH with 3" chambers.
