Are your scope bases the Akah type slide on or claw?

I dunno what you call the mounts but it hooks in the front base and snaps closed in the rear .

I wouldn't be surprised if the chambers in this gun aren't 2 9/16" but I've been shooting 2 3/4" in it with no ill effects .

I have two other hammer drillings that are 16 gauge but I'm a bit apprehensive to shoot these factory loads in them so I just reload #1 Buck for them .
Incidently I ordered some more of these Brenneke slugs from Jerry's last week and happened to notice they have a goodly supply of the 2 1/2" slugs as well for a few more cents a box .
