Yup, John Davis is correct in mentioning that John Dallas's statement was incorrect. In Parker terminology or practice, a chamber measuring 2 3/4" is meant for a 2 7/8" shell or shorter. Of course, the 2 7/8" shell is no longer loaded, but in the twenties to the late forties, it was loaded and Parker guns were made to shoot it. Your gun could have factory 2 3/4" chambers.
