On an 0-frame sixteen I would leave the chambers as they were made. Lengthening the chambers on such a "light" gus as yours is, in my opinion, asking for trouble. The present chamber length may be all that those "light" barrels can support and even another 1/8" in chamber length may compromise the safe limits of barrel wall thickness at the juncture of the chamber and the beginning of the forcing cone.

You're lucky to get Steve's Parker and I hope he is as happy with the RBL.
