Charles showed in his book and The Double Gun Journal articles an FE-Grade Trap Gun, P132953 and a CEO-Grade, 132037, that have 2 3/4 stamped in the same spot as 121252's 2 7/8. In 1901, Union Metallic Cartridge Co. offered loaded 12-gauge paper shells in 2 5/8, 2 3/4, 2 7/8, 3 and 3 1/4 inch lengths. The heaviest loads offered were 3 1/2 drams of bulk smokeless powder or 28-grains of dense smokeless powders such as Infallible (opps not yet on the market in 1901) or Ballistite pushing 1 1/4 ounce of shot. Those loads could be had in the 2 3/4 inch or any of the longer cases. The longer cases offering more and better wadding which many serious Pigeon shooters believed in.

From the introduction of the Remington Hammerless Double Barrel Shotgun in the October 1894 Remington Arms Co. catalog through their second 1901 catalog, they only pictured the A-grades and just listed the higher grades.
First (Green & Gold cover) 1901 Catalog --  Second (Blue cover) 1901 catalog --  Beginning with the first 1902 Catalog they pictured all the grades. First 1902 Catalog --
