what the chambers were is unimportant...
what they are now and is the gun safe to shoot with field loads, that is the question... Wrong again moron, both are important, not that after all these years you are capable of determining what is safe or what the original proof of the gun was.

If the chambers had been re-done legitimately in England, it would have been reproofed. The gun is a recent import, so it's unlikely they were extended to 2 3/4" here.

Something like that. I passed bidding on the gun, so I'll never know.

an geoff, just because gun is recent import does not mean the chambers were not lengthened more recently...
key question...what are barrel wall thicknesses in front of chambers?

You might feed a gun that was originally 2&1/2" differently than you would one that was originally chambered for longer cartridges and designed to digest heavier loads Ed.
Life is more complex than 90/30.....not that you understand the implication of those numbers, you just like to repeat them because you think it makes you look smart. You are anything but smart.
You are a shyster of the highest order and clueless about vintage guns Ed.

key question in guessing what are safe shooting specs for this gun......what are barrel wall thicknesses in front of chambers?
an note, chamber length is not stamped on barrel, which means two things...
a. barrels were proofed before 1925...
b. we do not know for sure what were chamber lengths at time of proof...
what the chambers were is unimportant...
what they are now and is the gun safe to shoot with field loads, that is the question...
