There are early guns rebarrelled by Remington with 3 1/2" magnum barrels. One of our members owns one of these. I have an early #6 frame twist steel gun with factory 3 1/2" chambers, documented in the original order. This gun precedes the 1932 introduction of factory 3 1/2" magnum ammunition. I also have a #6 frame gun rebarrelled by Parker with 3 1/2" chambers. This gun may have been barrelled after the advent of factory 3 1/2" magnum shells. The mystery of the Remington magnums may be solved by measuring the wall thickness of factory magnum guns and comparing the wall thickness to that of standard short chambered guns.
