[John Knobelsdorf II]

The listing says “a 2 3/4” chamber” ....a non-standard feature for Parker Bros. in the era this one was manufactured.

At the same time, it’s my understanding they were happy to provide whatever chamber was requested. Two and three-quarter inch shells were being offered by the shell makers by the 1890s.

I would go ahead and invest in the letter now. That has a prospect for shedding light on the chamber length as well as the originality of the Monte Carlo stock.

I am feeling confident that the front sight is most certainly non-standard. Likely sourced by a prior owner in the late 20th to early 21st-century.
