I recently purchased a 1914 Trojan in 16ga . When I purchased the gun the guy I brought it from said that it had 2 3/4 chambers . After receiving the gun and upon measuring the chambers, they measure closer to 3" . Seems like I remember reading somewhere that some 16ga Parker guns could be ordered from the factory with 3" chambers . I know some of the Winchester 16ga model 21s and others have 3" chambers and also some 3" 16ga ammo was available before WWII . Is it possible that this Parker gun could have been ordered that way ? Anybody ever heard of this ? Or do you think that this is just a bad job of someone just reaming the chambers too deep ?
I plan on taking to a good gunsmith to have the barrel wall thickness checked out before I shoot it . If checks out , is safe to shoot modern ammo through this gun?
Any thoughts or direction greatly appreciated .
