Default What do you make of?

What do our Parker experts make of the two 3's on the barrel flats of this 12g/32" VHE in the 208,000's serial number range? I don't have this Parker in hand as yet and thus haven't had a chance to measure its chambers.

My guess is chamber length. If that’s the case you have a rare gun.

IMO more likely the chambers were lengthened after market and the gunsmith so doing marked the barrel flats.

The answer will be a letter from the PGCA.
