A simple, easy to make and accurate chamber gauge:
Using a fired empty hull, preferrably plastic, squarely cut the crimped end off and make another square cut near the metal base. Clean off the cut edges. Measure the length. This is your gauge. Insert the gauge into the empty chamber until it stops at the forcing cone. Use a small scale to see how deep the gauge is and add that depth to the length of the gauge and you have the chamber length. Make for other gauges as needed. I might add that I have a friends 10 gauge underlifter and it has 2 3/4 inch chambers. A "PARKER BROS. WEST MERIDEN, CT 10 A" 2 3/4" brass shell fits nicely but the more common "PARKER BROS. MERIDEN, CT 10 A" 2 7/8" stops 1/8" short of going all the way in. Hope this helps. Bill Jolliff |

Someone (forgotten who) described taking a small machinist's rule (squared end forward) and inserting it into the chamber, touching the chamber wall, with good light coming from the muzzle end. When the rule begins to enter the forcing cone, the side of the rule will begin to separate from the chamber wall. When it does, look at the measurement on the rule. Bingo!

How were the brass shells closed? I doubt they were crimped.

Well today I fired my 10 ga Parker for the 1st time. It was also my 1st time firing any 10 ga. I want to thank my friend John for making it possible. Now the long journey of restoration begins.
