If im not mistaken there is a length restriction on shells for water fowling just like the gauge restriction .

I have seen old vintage catalogs that showed 8 and 10 ga shells in just about every length up to 4" . It was probably when they used all brass shells like you said . Seems like back then you could pretty much get anything you wanted custom ordered .

I bet the 12 ga 4" would have a horribly long shot string .
