I have a 00-frame 28 gauge made in 1935 that I shoot both 2 1/2" and 2 3/4" in but I've never measured the chamber length of it.

Dean, I'd expect a 1935 vintage 28-gauge to have 2 13/16-inch chambers intended for 2 7/8-inch shells.

The progressive burning smokeless powder, high velocity, 3/4-ounce, 28-gauge loads were introduced in 1931.
