John, have you actually measured the chambers of any Sporting Clays Classic guns? I personally own two SCCs, one of them is unfired NIB--both have 3" chambers, my brother owns an SCC and his has 3" chambers. I have also measured a few others (albeit less than a handful) and those, too; have measured 3". To further our collective knowledge of the Sporting Clays Classic guns I have requested others that own an SCC to measure their gun's chambers and report them to the forum, but thus far haven't received any responses to that request. Every piece of Parker Reproduction literature and every article written on the Sporting Clays Classic guns that I've seen state that they have 3" chambers--despite the 2 3/4" chamber stamping on the left barrel.
Here's a spec sheet copied from the back of a Parker Reproduction brochure:
