Default Chamber lengths

Hello: Back from extended absence. I see guns offered on various sites and have seen chamber lengths given or not given. I have seen 2 1/2 2 9/16 2 5/8 and 2 3/4. I have yet to see 3 or greater.

Question: Is there a progression over time up to the 2 3/4 that would correlate to serial numbers?

Were all 3 and above by special order?

Thanks for my continuing education.

PS: The "second chance gun -108603" parts soaked in penetrating oil for over two months. The most interesting piece was the forend latch lever and screws. The rust was extensive and for the most part it separated from the lever as a fragile layer as if the metal were a mold. The "rusty lace" disintegrated the instant I handled the bag containing it. No picture of that but it was an intriguing sight.

Jack
