I went through the first 2000 Ansley H. Fox 20-gauge records looking for 20-gauges ordered for the 2 7/8 or 3-inch shells. Found 47. Two 26" barrels, 19 28" barrels, 19 30" barrels and seven 32" barrels. A few were ordered heavier weight, up to 7 pounds 1 ounce, but most were in the very normal 6 pounds to 6 pounds 6 ounce range. The lightest was a 28" CE-Grade at 5 pounds 11 ounces.

Of the 62 Super-Fox 20-gauges in the records only three were ordered chambered for 3-inch shells. It appears that by the time progressive burning powder came along, shooters were satisfied with what the manufacturers gave them in a 2 3/4 inch case.
