After much back and forth and hesitation I sent my 1 frame 16 ga barrels to Michael Orlen in Amherst MA. 413 256 1630
He evaluated and said there was plenty of wall thickness to go ahead and lengthen the chambers. I’m very happy with the outcome. I can use 2 3/4 shells - light loads - that are available locally.
Before lengthening the chambers the gun was sometimes difficult to open as the shells seemed to have been forced backwards and expanded in the chambers after firing.
