Parker and Fox were not the only makers that offered longer than standard chamber lengths. I recently acquired a pivot lever, double hook Syracuse Lefever F grade 16 gauge with non-standard engraving and beautiful full choked 30 inch horseshoe damascus barrels. The serial number places the gun in the 1890 manufacture date range. When I checked the chambers I expected to find standard 2 9/16th inch chambers but was surprised to find that they are 2 3/4 inches.
