I guess you're referring to the forcing cones. It gets pretty thick in that area on a #0 frame 28. Sold for $6450. Not a bad gun for that price. I used an expensive Clymer combination rim cutter/2 3/4" chamber reamer/forcing cone cutter into two 2 1/2" chambered, totally original 28 gauge Parkers a couple of years ago. Oddly, the tool didn't cut any metal other than the rim recesses. To see if I was imagining things, I ran the same reamer into my own 28 gauge 2 1/2" original chambered gun. Again, no chips. I don't know what conclusion to draw except that that Clymer reamer was very conservative in its dimensions. Just as well since all I really wanted was for the shells to fit in the gun.
