Dave, I have a number of Parkers that I measure with the brass gauge as 2 5/8" chambers. I think I have one or two with 2.5" chambers, you would think I would know off the top of my head. I continue to get into debates about shooting 2 3/4" shells in 2 5/8" chambers and I think you or someone else said it was because Parker wanted a better seal? Does that mean for PAPER shells only? Or given good barrels and wood, it would be OK to use modern 2 3/4" shells? I'm talking about sporting clays rounds like Fiocchi Shooting Dynamics, AA, B&P etc, NOT hot hunting loads. I have some deplorables who give me a hard time like I'm clubbing a baby seal or something.
