Lemme ask why? It is not anything I would want on mine... I do not know if such a beast exists that is a MAX 2 3/4 inch chamber.

You don't need to. 2 3/4" shells will fit in your 3 1/2" chamber just fine. 3 1/2" is the maximum you can use - not the only thing.

Mix-n-Match

This is an over simplification, but think about .22 rim fire rifles: Typically the ones with detachable box magazines will feed only .22-Long Rifle's. But, the ones with a tube magazine will usually feed .22-Shorts, .22-Longs and .22-Long Rifles in any combination. Most shotguns with tube magazines are the same, the size given is the maximum, but you can mix in shorter ones.

a better explanation

i want a barrel with a 2 3/4 chamber for the gas seal and a smaller bore diameter, the ultra mag barrels are back bored to .780 and i want something in the range of .730-.750 back bore im going to make it into a match gun, not three gun compitions, 2-2-10 matches. i have thought about a smooth bore slug barrel but i cant find bore sizes or chamber sizes on them. i even checked the mossberg web site
