I had a gun smith measure the chambers and they are 2.5in.

typically did the flues have funneled or sharp chambers?

From the 1890s to pre-WWII U.S. maker's forcing cones were about 1/2" in length.

A chunk of c. 1905 Remington 1894 barrel; chamber and forcing cone superiorly, barrel bore inferiorly. Forcing cone was also about 1/2" in length



I would be quite interested as to when forcing cones became 1" and longer? With the Remington ‘SP’ high density polyethylene compression formed hull introduced in 1960? The polyethylene ‘Power Piston’ Figure 8 wad introduced in 1966?

The chunk was found after lying in snow for some time. The barrels cleaned up nicely, and the blow-out was from an obstruction
