Bill I hadn't thought of it like that. It makes sense that Parker would lengthen the chambers for customers' gun. There might not have been any other way to do it at the time. Very good point.

If one found a 2 1/2" gun would you keep that way?

IF I ever got a Parker 410 I wouldn't ream it out . But I've got an IJ 410 Hercules with 3" chambers . Really anything I'd use a 410 for 2 1/2" has always been adequate for me be it dove , quail , skeet and what little bit of sporting I shoot with 410 .

I wouldn't trust any of these barrel butchers to work on any Parker. Choke and chamber butchers who specialize in this work are well documented as people we shouldn't trust with our guns. They are not full service gunsmiths.
