			The 11 gauge shells are impossible to find, I've never physically seen one other than a single photograph. The 12A brass shell do turn up if they'll fit in the gun.

			gary i do not no if a 12 a shell will fit this gun or not..i read in the parker pages that they built some chambered for the 11 b shell and the 12 a paper shell i must admit that i m kinda confused about all the  a and b s in these shells..   destrey i have never seen a 11 ga shell either other than a picture i believe in another post someone stated they had a box of 11 ga shells..maybe they will speak up..these early lifters are pretty unique to me but i must confess the later lifter model is the better gun but compared to a muzzle loader its a great gun.not throwing off on muzzle loaders...charlie

			Charlie, Something to look at while you have your morning Java, Parker 11-B, 12-B, 12-A, 12-A with large diamond head stamp, 10-A, also a 4" UMC #12, and a Remington 14-A  There are more but do not want to mess up your day, double click since the light was not good when I took these photos, Gary

			Charlie as they say a picture is worth a thousand words, the shell on the right is a 12-B inside a 12-A snug fit but will go inside a 12-A So the 12-A is a little larger, Gary
