Has anyone here had a Gunsmith lengthen a shotgun chamber from 2.75" to 3 inch, or in a related note, polish out the forcing cone area to make it more gradual, more tapered?
Who in the Northern Metro Atlanta area can do this and does anybody have an idea what it would cost?
I have an early 1970's vintage marlin model 55 but it is not the "goose gun" version (goose guns had a 3 inch chamber), this has a 2.75 inch chamber. The gun seems to be only suitable for turkey or migratory waterfowl hunting due to the long barrel, full choke, and bolt action mechanism. But waterfowl hunting is usually done with 3 inch ammunition, and it is almost impossible to find suitable ammo loaded in 2.75" chamber shells. Everybody sells 3 inch shells with that kind of shot payload.
