Yep! That 4lbs5.3 & it's a .410 (I think it was 2 3/4-inch).

I used to have a little back action British .410 hammer gun that was in that weight range. It also had 2-3/4 chambers, being me I extended the forcing cones on it and shot 3" shells through it. I believe it was originally a .44. When I'd shoot it the shells would expand to the point where they wouldn't fit in the chamber of a .410 NS I also owned.
