Take a square cornered machinist's rule, shine a light from the muzzle end, slide the rule from the breech end, holding the edge against the chamber. When you begin to see light under the rule, stop. That's the chamber length

One of the Parker Repro advertising folders lists the 28-gauge 28-inch barrels as having 3-inch chambers --

I've always believed this was a misprint. The other two I have, show 2 3/4 inch. The Parker Reproductions were built well before the Italians, or whoever, started offering 3-inch 28-gauge guns and shells.
