Paul, my 1904 28 gauge has 2 1/2" chambers. I have shot that gun with 2 3/4" shells for 53 years with no problem. I also have a 1900 28 gauge but don't know the chamber length. I shoot that one with 2 3/4" shells also. Do you have a PGCA letter on this gun? I have a lot of research material on early 28 gauges. If you would post the serial number, I could compare it with my research material.

If you have trouble getting modern 28 gauge shells into the rim recesses of your new gun, I can help you with a reamer to enlarge the recess a couple of thousandths so it will accept modern shells. This modification has nothing to do with chamber length. Early Parker rim recesses were originally too small in diameter to accept modern 28 gauge shells. Some were modified, some were not.
