I wanted to shoot some 28 Ga shells to see if I would like an O frame 28 Ga Parker that a man south of Albany had for sale for $5000 several years ago.
I bought some little skeeters that converted the chambers to 28 Ga. on one of my 20 gauge Parkers. They fit fine and shot fine in one gun and not the other. The chambers were short in the gun they would not fit into. Later I had them lengthened and the recoil seemed to be less. No, I did not buy the gun because I thought why buy a real heavy 28 Ga Parker. Asa Kelley later found me an OO frame 28 which I now shoot. If I had to do it over, No I would not have the chambers lengthened.
