28 gauge 2 7/8" chambers and shells
I saw a 28 gauge Parker shotgun advertised recently that was listed to have 2 7/8 inch chambers. I can't find the listing again, but as I recall the gun was made in 1923.
Ironically, I recently also came across a box of 2 7/8" shells. I know there's a great deal of knowledge out there regarding old shells/loads and chamber lengths. Does anyone know when these shells might have been made, and/or when 2 7/8" chambers were offered by Parker Brothers?
