I have the Gaugemates for 20 and 12 shotguns 12-16, 12-20 and 20-410. They work good and won't crack, they are made of Stainless Steel. Cost less than 60/pr. The only problem is time, time to get out the shell out from the reducer. Best reducers were the Savage, I have 12-410, they don't do them anymore. Gaugemate have the gold ones, those will take the shell out with the shotgun's extractors. They are so expensive that is better to get extra barrel or even a new shotgun. I don't think the gold are worth it.
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.
Depends what your using it for hunting is the 12 gauge pump shotgun for home defense handgun
1940
A 10 guage is more powerful with more kick and better range, a 12 guage is the standard issue hunting and war shotgun, it is better if you are not an experienced shooter, it also depends upon what you're doing with the gun
The Stevens model 77f 16 gauge pump shotgun with a 2 3/4 chamber, full choke, no serial number, is valued at between $75 and $125. They were made from 1954 to 1969.
too much
none of above mine is a 10 gauge with 3 1/2 inch chamber and in camo drilled and tapped for a scope
The length of the chamber in a 2 3/4 inch chambered shotgun is 2 3/4". The longer 3" shotgun shells will not fit in the chamber, being 1/4" too long. You can shoot 2 3/4" shotgun shells, of the correct gauge, in a 3" chambered shotgun.

12-70 is frequently used to indicate the gauge of the shotgun followed by the length of the chamber in millimeters. In the US, or non-metric measurements, that means a 12 gauge shotgun chambered for 2.75 inch (usually read two and three quarter inch) shells. Sometimes, you'll see 12-76 to designate a 12 gauge shotgun chambered for 3 inch shells.
