OP Tamid Sidelock Joined: May 2011 Posts: 1,214 Likes: 57 Calgary, AB	Just reading the info on Parkers on another thread and it says chamber length 2 5/8 and shell 2 3/4. Why would they not have chambered to 2 3/4 so to avoid the 1/8 of the shell in the forcing cone? I know the 2 5/8 chambering came into existence before 2 3/4 shells were standardized but that should have been by 1910. Thereafter I would have expected chambers to be 2 3/4. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
