Help me out.

I have recently come into possession of a 1914 Winchester Model 12 twelve ga. As I understand, the gun most likely is chambered for 2 5/8". How can I confirm this (on the off chance that someone has modded it for 2 3/4" since)?

Also, how much does this matter anyways? I understand that all this shorter chamber would do is disallow the shell to un-crimp to as great a degree as normal, causing a pressure spike. But the chamber would only be 1/8" too short. Couldn't I just make my trap or pheasant load a little on the light side to compensate for this?

Thanks.
