Holy crap Dean. What are the details on that amazing little hammer gun?

In a fluid steel barreled Parker I don't shoot magnum or high pressure loads but otherwise I don't think shooting a 2 3/4" shell in a 2 1/2" or 2 9/16" chamber is something to fuss about. Heck, most of our Trojans, VH's, PH's, GH's, DH's and so on have digested their fair share of 2 3/4" shells in their lifetimes, long before we ever became their thoughtful custodians.

That "amazing little hammer gun" is my Grade-4 12 gauge on the 1-frame with 30" Bernard Steel barrels choked Light MOD and Tight MOD.
