the 3 1/4 inch length was the standard chamber for most gunmakers..i would say that 3 1/4 was the standard for parkers as well but some 8 ga were made in length of up to 4 1/4 length i have a old 8 ga with 4 inch chambers...the 8 ga shells were made in several lengths i have a brass hull that is 3 3/4 inches...as for the lightest 8 ga i have ever heard of is owned by a guy here on the parker site maybe he will chime in and tell its weight..also the smallest frame size i ve heard of in a parker was a 5 frame....charlie....
