Greetings. A friend who is quite knowledgeable in side-by-sides, insists that older Parkers were chambered for 2 1/2 inch cartridges. Johnson states the opposite on pg. 74, yet Major Sir Gerald Burrard's The Modern Shotgun, volume 2, pg 91, describes 2 5/8 as the American standard until 1947 when 2 3/4 was adopted. Neither source seems to support my friend's claim of 2 1/2 in; does anyone have any additional light to shed on this relative to Parkers?
Thanks.
2 1/2 in shells
