Sorry- that is a serial number, and conveys no information. If the barrel is not marked, you need to take it to a gunsmith who will measure the chamber- not only for gauge, but for the correct shell length. Just because an unfired shell fits does not mean it is the correct shell. And it is not a rifle, but a shotgun.
the shotgun takes a 2 3/4 shell
it is not safe to fire 16 gauge shell in anything but a 16 gauge.No shells will interchange with other gauge guns since a 16 gauge shell would fit in a 12 gauge chamber, I would think you can do this.
Air soft shotgun shells are the size of 12 gauge shotgun shells.
Depends on the gauge of the shotgun (should be marked on the barrels) and the length of shell it was made for. Some of the earlier guns used shorter shells than are now standard. Just because a shell fits does NOT mean it is safe to fire. If your shotgun is not marked with a shell length (like 2 3/4) you should have it examined by a gunsmith that can check shell length.
The Bay State .410 shotgun fires a .410 gauge shell, the smallest of shotgun shells. The shell itself is around 3 inches in length.
Most 12 gauge shotguns are capable of shooting the 3.5 inch shotgun shell. It fires at around 14,500 PSI.
The best shotgun shell for shooting ducks is a 3 to 3 1/2 inch 12 gauge with number 2 shot.
