The last couple days I have come across several nice model 12's in 16 ga. some times the model 12 in 12 ga. fits me well other times the stock has way too much drop.. but every model 12 in 16 ga. I have picked up, fits like a glove.. It was my ideal gun when I was 15, but never did get one.. The guns I have picked up have an almost perfect fit.. BUT the length of shell is not marked on the barrel.. It seems to me I read where the early model 12's in 16 ga. had a 2 5/8 in chamber.. True.?? I suppose the serial numbers are the best way to know if it is a 2 3/4 inch gun.. I am not sure now at my age, with the shotguns I have, I want to have a 16 ga. BUT if one perfect one came along, who knows.. So I would like the info on the chamber length..
