Here are the Remington era chamber specifications from the Specification sheets that were reproduced in The Parker Story.

No one can tell you over the internet what ammunition may or may not be safe in a given gun. But, a 12-gauge 2-frame Parker in solid condition should handle 1 1/4-ounce progressive burning smokeless powder, high velocity lead loads and has probably in its life digested plenty of Super-X or Remington Express.

Were there ever 12 gauge Parker’s chambered to 2 1/2”
? The gun shop that made the transfer for me measured it while I was filling out paper work and he swore they were 2 1/2” not the usual 2 5/8”… not sure of his skill with the gauge as it seemed to take him a while..
