It would behoove you to have the chamber length and barrel wall thicknesses properly measured by an expert in old double guns. It will probably pass muster but I think you really owe it to yourself and to the gun to have this done.
What is the serial number or year of manufacture? Very few Meriden era 12 gauge Parkers were made with 2 3/4" chambers so if the chambers were lengthened to 2 3/4" the wall thickness may have been compromised by doing so.
