I'm sorry, about the error in my post. I meant to say that there are no 2 1/2 inch 12 gauge Model 12s in reply to RPr's statement that there was no problem shooting 2 3/4 inch shells in 2 1/2 inch 12 gauge Model 12s. Certainly there were 2 1/2 inch 20 gauges early on. Oddly enough, as one poster suggests, the 20 gauge short chamber Model 1912s and Model 12s usually work pretty well with 2 3/4 inch shells. Again, oddly, the 16 gauge short chamber guns don't eject 2 3/4 inch shells very well in my experience. Some may work better than others.
