Dear fellow forum members ,
I have been reading various articles on the internet and I have found something , which confused me a little .
There are many operators who own double barreled shot guns that originally possess 2.75 inch chambers . However , they make a gun smith lengthen these chambers to 3 inches , in order to accommodate 3 inch cartridges .
I was merely wondering ... Is this not a very unsafe thing to do ? I should think that lengthening a double barreled shot gun's chambers from 2.75 inches to 3 inches would put the gun's chambers and barrels out of proof .
As I am not a gun smith , this concept is a little alien to me .
Any assistance to aid me in understanding how this " modification " works would be greatly appreciated .
Yours sincerely ,
