Hi all, I have a technical question regarding chamber length and modern loads.
I just bought a 16ga Greifelt made in 1936 (see previous post). It is your typical German SxS with lots of bolting. The seller was not exactly sure if the chambers are 2 3/4" and I don't know when 2 3/4" being standard on German gun (would like to know this one also). I have two questions on this:
1) If the chambers are 2 3/4" is it safe to shoot modern loads in her (I like Golden Pheasant 1 1/8 oz)?
2) If the chambers are 2 1/2 or 2 9/16" and I have them let out to 2 3/4" are modern loads (like the above) safe to shoot?
The stock is in excellent shape with no cracks or repairs.
Any help on this would be great!!!
Thanks so much!
Greg
