Thank you, Joe. Really appreciate the help. I was a bit overwhelmed with all of the postings regarding chamber lengths for Parkers. I figured by 1929, 2 and 3/4" shells were in use for the V grade. But don't want to make assumptions. Still learning...

Loren, you're getting good advice here. If you don't know your chamber length, you can always use light 2 1/2" shells, regardless of your chamber's length. I don't know of any 1929 Parker 20 that had shorter chambers. Having said this, it's not that easy to find such shells in today's challenging market. Every now and then, RST makes a run of 2 1/2" 20 gauge shells. I'd keep checking there.

Good luck and happy hunting.
