Question on Chamber Length
I just bought my first Parker at a gun auction last week. It is a parker trojan, 20 gage, 28 inch modified and full, made in 1928. The chambers measure 2 3/8 inches long. My question is can i fire 2 3/4 modern target and game loads in this gun safely or do i need special shells. Do people typically have the chambers lengthed to allow use of 2 3/4 inch shells.
The gun has about 40 percent color case, the stock has been shortened to allow the installation of a 1 inch thick recoil pad. Would making changes (refinishing) hurt the value. It appears to be a shooter grade to me, but then again I have never owned one of these before. thanks for the help.
