Harry, I was kind of surprised, my first thought was I had the gauge in backwards. Then I thought I must have grabbed the wrong size,nope, then I looked at it and thought to myself wow they are the shortest I have run across (like Dave 2 5/8" seemed standard). Given they are about 2 1/4" they should probably be opened to use 2 3/4" shells and then I wondered if there would be enough metal there to go that deep etc.

The gun also appears to be restocked, overall a good job but there are some telling signs. I wonder now if the really short chambers led to that restocking.
