Repro Chamber Length

EDIT: Per the linked attached chart the SCC and SSS models were the only 12-ga. 28" guns with standard 3" chambers from the factory. The .410, 26" and 20-ga. 28" guns were standard fare with factory 3" chambers.

Perhaps my gun is an exception. It is a 12ga. Parker Repro DHE (not SSS nor SCC) with stamped 2 3/4" or 3" chambers. I have seen one other of that configuration......My mission in life is to wear my gun out.

Bill what is your ten choked that you shoot the steel loads? I have a Beretta Silver Pigeon and I think it's choked F and F.

No exception. As I said earlier in this thread, I have one too: 12 ga, 28", 3" chambers, IC/MOD. I never have, nor do I ever plan to, shoot 3" shells in it.

Joe, I think the key word in my post that Steve quoted is the word standard. Perhaps yours and other 3" non---SSS or SCC guns were an optional chambering. (??)
