I have a 20ga 0 frame DH with factory 2 7/8" chambers listed on the hang tag and letter.Back then 3 inch 20ga shells had 7/8 oz of shot with more shot cushioning fillers
Nothing like today's 3 inch 20ga with 1 1/4 oz of shot.

Dont know if this means anything but...
My 30" barreled O frame 20ga VH (1922) SN 197xxx with Vulcan steel barrels has 2 5/8" chambers listed on my letter but I think it now has 2 3/4" chambers. I need to really get them measured. I really think the chambers have been "let out".

No they are not all 1 frame guns. I owned a 32” 20, 0 frame with 2 7/8 chambers that lettered exactly the same. And I currently own a 1 frame 20/32” with 2 7/8” chambers that letters.

If I’m not mistaken there were or are a few 2 frame 20’s . I would “assume” those had 2 7/8” chambers . Be kinda neat to find a DH 20 gauge on a 2 frame with 32” barrels to match my DH 16 gauge 2 frame 32” .

From my review of the graded Ansley H. Fox 20-gauge records I found 40 guns ordered for 3-inch shells and seven for 2 7/8-inch shells. The lightest weight listed on the cards was a 28-inch CE-Grade at 5 pounds 11 ounces. Very few Fox 20-gauges are any lighter than that.

The letter for the 16 says 2 7/8” . I’d never thought about it until you asked .
