It feeds and ejects 2-1/2" RST's, along with 2-9/16" vintage and modern 2-3/4" shells perfectly and even mixed in the magazine. Tested before I bought the Winny to know what I might get into.
My advice to anyone looking to buy an early Model 1912/12 whether 16 or 20 gauge that isn't factory or retro stamped 2-3/4" would do well to check it for function (QUICK feeding and ejection) before buying. That's if you want to shoot modern 2-3/4" plastic shells.

Thanks for the tip, Frank. I keep thinking I need a Model 12...
