Very interesting Chuck, and informative too.
Seems we might have a third 28-gauge gun in that range chambered for 2 7/8" shells. As you say, the majority of 28-gauge guns in that range (235,xxx to 238,xxx) that had chamber lengths listed were 2 3/4" and my little Skeet gun, 236912 is also listed as 2 3/4" but in measuring the chamber lengths they fall just shy of 2 7/8" but
well longer than 2 3/4". I truly can't see anyone cutting them any longer than the factory chamber length because the popular shell lengths since the day the gun was made were 2 3/4"...
A mystery for sure.
Any thoughts?
