Indeed, Stan. And since all Smiths in 12 gauge were chambered for 2&3/4" from 1900 onward- exception being the LONGRANGE guns that appeared in 1926- it would also seem that this "worked-over"i Premiere Grade has non-standard chambers as well- Wonder why some idiot altered the tang, and then had to replace the buttstock- not a inexpensive proceedure either. $14,500??? perhaps not.
