Default 10 Gauge Lifter or Top Lever?

I want to add to my Parker collection this year with a 10 Gauge hammer gun. This would be my first short chambered 10 gauge and something I would like to shoot with low pressure shells.

I searched the forum on chamber lengths and couldn't find any years or serial numbers where the chamber lengths went from 2 5/8 to 2 7/8. I had assumed all Lifters were 2 5/8's and all Top Levers were 2 7/8's, but really have nothing to base my "guess" on. Is this assumption true?

I don't reload 10 Gauge(though I am open to it) and wanted to use RST Shells(which are 2 7/8) at least to get started using the gun.

I may be over thinking this and should just find a gun I like, Lifter or Top Lever, and then worry about chamber length. Any input would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Jay
