Could one assume that a 20 gauge Parker made with 2 7/8" chambers was made for 3" shells? I have a 20 VH with 30" barrels that letters as having a requested chamber length of 2 7/8"

Reggie is correct, although some customers specified 3" chambers, also obviously meant for 3" shells.

Picked it up this morning at Kenny Graft's shop(Sxs Ohio). Interestingly, I was there at his shop with Brett Hoops 2 years ago when the first owner picked it up, and I've wanted one since. 5lbs 13 oz with 30 in ejectors barrels with the xtended chokes in, plus came with 5 flush fit choke tubes, snap caps and case.
