That certainly would be easy enough to do. What dimensions should I make it to? Such that, without question, it hangs up at 2 9/16" if that is the true depth or extends to 2 3/4 " if that is the true depth.
I guess what I had in mind is something that extends to 2 3/4" deep if that was truly the depth, or sticks out 3/16" (2 3/4 - 2 9/16 = 3/16) if the chamber depth remains the original 2 9/16". |

Make it 6” long — stick it in the chamber until it stops then mark it at the breach. Remove the rod and measure the length from the end you inserted to the mark you made.

I was implying diameter. I have a 2 3/4" Fox Sterlingworth I can use as a template, but I want to make it small enough so it doesn't get stuck and big enough so that it truly hangs up at 2 9/16".

This what I use. About as frugal as you can get but it works well. A 16 inserted into a 12 and a 28 inserted into a 20.

I would never, under any circumstances, alter the chambers of a good old double gun, regardless of whether it is collector condition or a just plain shooter. There is never a good reason to do so where another remedy would solve the perceived 'problem'. .

Dean has come around to my way of thinking, or maybe he always thought that way. Don't take steel away from a good set of barrels, for any reason.
