They found they had marginally better patters with 2 3/4" ammo out of 3" chambers than they got out of 2 3/4" chambers, so they figured "why not 3?".

It is in the back of the vault and I have not shot it in years. Good old gun, it is what I bought when I was starting to shoot skeet when I stopped shooting a pump. Last edited by pullit; 09/07/12.

I used one in Africa in 9,3X74R & 12ga. It was their gun they made for the Valmet 412/512 line. It had double triggers and was very well made and reliable.
