Edgar, with those 30" barrels in 28 gauge I would more likely expect to see 2 7/8" chambers...

I merely posted the link to the two bbl set in Morphy's auction. He posted a PGCA letter that states 2 3/4" chambers. I'm sure Chuck copied the information as he saw it in the records. I don't assert they are or are not 2 3/4".
My 30" gun was commissioned and upgraded by Delgrego and Runge for Sheldon Gitman around 1979. It was originally built in Meriden, as a VHE with 30" bbls, straight stock, and single trigger. I don't know what the chamber length is, but only load 2 1/2" in 28ga, so I don't really care.
