At the time your BE-Grade was built, our U.S. ammunition manufacturers offered paper 12-gauge shells in 2 5/8-, 2 3/4-, 2 7/8-, 3- & 3 1/4-inch (bulk powder only) lengths.

If Remington Arms Co. chambered one of their Remington Hammerless Doubles for longer shells it was so marked on the bottom of the tubes, just forward of the barrel flats.
