Got checking some of my other Parkers. I have a lifter 12ga built in 1875 with 2 5/8 chambers and no step. But the barrels do tighten very very quickly. Maybe someone at some time ground the step out. My 10 giving me so much trouble was built in 1879 with the step at 2 5/8. A 12ga top lever hammergun built in 1908 has a step at 2 7/8. I find the last one interesting with a step at 2 7/8.
