Again, and I’ve said this before, when I was cutting my Parker teeth at 13 on a 12 gauge Trojan made in about 1917 I had no idea of it’s chamber length and I really didn’t care. I bought whatever my paper route earnings would buy me at the Western Auto downtown as long as it was #6 shot. Yes some of the stuff I bought made me take a step backward when I fired it but I just figured I needed to grow bigger and put on some muscle weight.
As long at it fit in my Trojan and I could close it…
