At that date Phil I'm going to guess 2 5/8 but it could be 2 1/2. You would need to measure it to be sure. But if this helps I've shot nothing but 2 3/4" out of all my Parkers, Foxes, Lefevers and even my Wm Ford damascus 20 with no problem. Of course I handload and keep the pressures and payloads down to sensible levels.

Thank Dary. I don't have the gun, and my question is self-serving. On another site a guy asked if he could shoot 1-1/8oz Remington Express loads at turkeys out of his 1935 Trojan; he says a 2-3/4" shell drops right in but didn't say if he'd measured the chambers. I said I've shot many boxes of 2-3/4" shells through my 1926 16ga Trojan, both 1oz and some 1-1/8oz. I do try to stay under 1200fps. Those Remy Express loads list at 1295, a little stiffer than I'd prefer, but I said I doubted shooting a few would hurt anything. I was definitely a minority of one, and was chastised for using anything but 2-1/2" shells

I had a 1935 16ga Trojan and it had 2 5/8 " chambers for 2 3/4" shells.

A blade gauge goes into my 1926 to 2-3/4". Have no idea if they have been lengthened.

I saw the post you're referring to, and I agree with you, I'd shoot the heavier loads thru it on occasion with out worry--like for turkeys.

The Remington era Parker specification sheets reproduced in The Parker Story show a 2 5/8-inch chamber for 2 3/4-inch shells.
Remington Specification Sheet GHE, 16-gauge highlighted.jpg I would think that under Remington ownership they would have gone to chambering the 16-gauge for 2 3/4-inch shells pretty quickly as Remington was the main mover and shaker for the 2 3/4-inch 16-gauge shell when they introduced their Model 11 and The Sportsman autoloaders in 16-gauge in 1931 made for 2 3/4-inch shells. AUTO EXPRESS New Goods Kleanbore catalog.jpeg AUTO EXPRESS, #6 Chilled.jpg When Remington introduced their Model 31 pump in 16-gauge in 1933 it was also made for 2 3/4-inch shells. |
