I would think that under Remington ownership they would have gone to chambering the 16-gauge for 2 3/4-inch shells pretty quickly as Remington was the main mover and shaker for the 2 3/4-inch 16-gauge shell when they introduced their Model 11 and The Sportsman autoloaders in 16-gauge in 1931 made for 2 3/4-inch shells.

When Remington introduced their Model 31 pump in 16-gauge in 1933 it was also made for 2 3/4-inch shells.
