How long are your gun's barrels?
My 20ga. 26" gun is stamped for 2 3/4" shells and measure 2 3/4". I wouldn't say it's common if the gun has 26" bbls. There's always the possibility that it was custom spec'd that way or the chambers could have been lengthened by a previous owner. It has been reported in this forum that most, if not all, 20ga. and 12ga. Repros with 28" bbls. are chambered for 3" shells despite some of them carrying only 2 3/4" stampings.
Never say never when speaking of Parkers.
