Question on 12GA Chambers

[esetter - Gerry Addison]

Thanks, wood is not spectacular but has great grain flow through the wrist which I always look for.

Checkering borders and colors look great! I wonder why he didn't clean up the checkering though. It would much improve the factory job. Evens out the spacing and points up all the diamonds. I really prefer the oil finished wood!

Here's a pic of the 28 ga. I fixed that broke in half through the checkering. Unfortunately, even if you blow the picture up, I'm not sure you can see how much better the checkering looks. I wish you could download larger files here for more resolution.

I've got two 12-ga. Repros with 28" barrels, both are stamped "12 GAUGE 2 3/4" but both of these guns have 3" chambers. They are both Sporting Clays Classic models which were advertised as having 3" chambers despite the "12 GAUGE 2 3/4" stamping on them. This gets me to wondering if most, if not all of the 12-ga. 28" Repros have 3" chambers, even though they may have been stamped with only 2 3/4"????

For those with 12-ga. 28" Repros with only the 2 3/4" stamping, have you actually measured them to verify?
