Chamber lengthening to 3" in Trojan and VH, 2-frame, steel barreled Parkers

FYI: 11 low-grade, VH and Trojan Parkers ALL passed re-proofing with 18,000+ psi proof
loads after lengthening from 2 3/4" to 3" by Master Gunsmith Ed Lander, NH. This
speaks well to the steel and barrel strength in these utility-grade Parkers. Ed , like
Kirk Merrington, made many trips to England visiting and adding to his expertise
at the major shotgun manufacturing companies. Now in his mid-90's, Ed is no
longer gunsmithing.
