Remington stopped making 2-3/4" chambered 12 gauges in the 80s. If you measure the chamber on a 2-3/4" marked target gun, odds are it will measure 3".

This is dangerous as written... First off, gun makers do not mark barrels with erroneous info...
Secondly, I doubt Remington would have any gun marked so as to limit possible ammo sales...
If the barrel is marked 2 3/4 and a chamber cast reveals a 3 inch chamber i will eat a Twinkie and I hate those...
But i will assure you that if you "measure" with shells, you will find what looks like a 3 inch chamber...
Chambers on shotguns often fit shells too long for the chamber since they are measured and cut to fit the fired hull of stated length... The length as marked on the box... Shells can vary and shotgun makers can shape the area in front of the chamber how ever they want... I bet you could stuff a 4.5 inch shell in a 3 inch "overbored" gun but would you be safe???
