To my knowledge, all 20 and 12-ga. Repros with 28" barrels have 3" chambers and are stamped like yours, the only exception being the Sporting Clays Classic model -- which is stamped 2 3/4", but measures 3".

My 12 gauge 28” repro was stamped 2 3/4” only, but not a SCC.

A quick look-see on Calico Hardwood’s website lists “French Walnut” as one of their offerings. Although I didn’t read the description on their website, I seem to recall it’s grown in CA for their inventory. I would guess, technically, that’s what is found on many Repro’s including Roger’s stock, and mine that is shown on pg 15 (ie: post 146). I always refer to it as ’English’ but maybe that’s wrong??

English, California English, French, Circassian and Turkish walnut are the same tree species - "Juglans Regia". Claro or California Claro is the tree species - "Juglans Hindsii". American Black walnut is - "Juglans Nigra".
Mineral lines, graining, coloration, etc. of each species of walnut varies dependent upon what region of the world that particular species of tree is grown in.

Thanks for expanding my knowledge, Kirk. I have violated the Parker Rule of "never say never" as apparently there are other exceptions other than the SCC out there. Did your 12-ga. 28" Repro have 2 3/4" or 3" chambers?

I never did measure them and I’ve since sold it, but I’d imagine they were 3”

Late to this party...20/16 set...It's been around more than a little with the 16's. The 20's killed a Grouse and were put away...Wood has been refinished...And a new case handle would be a nice upgrade. Need to find someone...
