Thank you guys for checking your guns...Thats interesting that all the barrels are that exact!. I would not have thought that. Im keeping the VHE set.....With a little TLC it will make a fine Parker to be proud of. I will send the 32" F/F barrel set to have the chambers moved forward for 2 3/4" shells,have one dent raised they will make a perfect set of barrels for sporting clays and wild roosters in Kansas this november. Ill leave the lightweight short chambered 28" barrels alone and only shoot RST light loads with it untill I get the wall thickness mesured. Those will be the grouse barrels with the open chokes. A Parker 16, O frame ejector gun that only weighs 6lbs-2oz makes a fine upland bird hunting gun indeed! Thanks all Kenny Graft SXS ohio...(-:

Kenny,
Just because the 32" barrels are longer dose not mean that the barrel walls are any thicker than the shorter barrels. If it were me I would wait to open the chambers until after you get your new gage and measure the wall thickness just ahead of the chambers. In fact personally I shoot 2 3/4" shells in my short chambered guns when hunting as I usually am not taking very many shots so any slight increase in recoil is not an issue.
