The stock book does show your gun as having 2 3/8" chambers. I would really like to see those 3 letters. If you can't post them here, you can send me an e-mail to pgcaresearch@verizon.net with them attached. I'll tell you what I think privately or I can post them here with your permission.

According to what I’ve read, the 2 3/8” chambers were cut to that length to accomodate 2 1/2” shells, presumably to allow the shell to open into the taper of the forcing cone thereby affording a better gas seal.

I wasn't sure if PB stopped using Order Books after 1919 but I was pretty sure they did but wasn't certain until I started looking at the Work Order Tags. The WOT's with S/N's after 1919 do show an order # on the tag so I'm now certain that the Order Books continued at least until Remington ownership. What happened to those books nobody knows. They could have been discarded or given to someone who won't acknowledge they have them. Remington also had codes on their IBM cards but no one knows what they mean.

Dean, I once had a friend who loved franks and beans. Unfortunately his forcing cone did not have a gas seal. Lol
