Clearly Parker stated 2 5/8" chambers for 2 3/4" shells, which I think was a marketing ploy.
When did Parker's starting coming through with 2 3/4" inch chambers as a standard? I don't believe the plastic wad was invented until the 1950's, so the argument chambers were cut an 1/8" shorter for a better gas seal should have been valid right up until Remington stopped making the Parker Gun. My point Parker would never have had reason to chamber any 12ga gun non magnum gun longer than 2 5/8", but they did.
