I recently bought an old Winchester model 12 chambered for 12 gauge shells.
This one has Nickle Steel barrel with no shell length mentioned on barrel.
Serial # indicates it was made in the 20's and chambered originally for either 2 9/16" or 2 1/2" shells.
Someone has reamed the chamber since I can get a 3" unfired shell to chamber fully in chamber.
I have shot this gun with 2 3/4" low brass shells. Is it safe to shoot it with high brass 2 3/4" shells?
Need it looked over by competent gunsmith. Anyone you guys would suggest?
