You will have to have it checked over by a good gunsmith to be sure.
3"
the shotgun takes a 2 3/4 shell
2 3/4" or 3" shells only
If it's a 16 gauge shotgun, the shell length is 2 3/4 inches.
You should always use the intended ammunition in your firearms. If you are unsure about what ammunition the weapon is constructed to use contact the manufacturer or seek help from a professional gunsmith. In a shotgun it is less dangerous to use a shell that is shorter than a shell that is longer than the intended length of the ammunition but it may still pose a risk.
no
The shell length that the chamber can handle should be stamped on the barrell.
I have an earlier serial number of the same gun. It takes a 2-1/2 inch shell. Hope this helps.
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.
That can only be answered by you providing the model number of your Western Field shotgun.Most shotguns will be marked on the barrel for the length of shotgun shell the chamber can handle.
The Bay State .410 shotgun fires a .410 gauge shell, the smallest of shotgun shells. The shell itself is around 3 inches in length.
A shell model is an electron configuration. The shell model for Potassium has two electrons on the first ring, eight on the second ring, eight on the third ring, and one on the fourth ring.
