Disconnect between Hang-Tag & Letter

[Researcher]

Here is a picture of a hang-tag from The Parker Story. The tag carries the odd line -- Length of Shell 2 5/8 Inches
and right below that Use Shells 2 3/4 Long.

I recall seeing a hang-tag that has a Chamber Length ____ Inches and a Use Shells ____ Long, but I couldn't find it right now.

In the book The Parker Story the Remington vintage specification sheets on pages 164 to 169 call for a chamber 1/8-inch shorter than the shell for which it is intended.

Interestingly I also noted a 20-gauge hang-tag in The Parker Story with the same 100 and 150 pellet counts as the hang-tag for the gun in question.

I'd like to see a tag for 28ga. I wonder if these tags were generic for all gauges?

I would also like to see a 28ga hang tag. Anyone got one to share?

Well Chuck I'll let you know. I have a 28 gauge DHE that has the serial number in the hang tag list and I'm going to send it in today. I'll post it when I get it back.
