The short chamber, however, has no room to accept the unfolded crimp of the longer shell. Unfired shells are shorter than the same shell fired, because, upon firing, the crimp will expand out the front when it's pushed open by the fired charge.Ĭhecking with a 2-3/4" unfired shell is mis-leading, as the unfired shell is short enough to readily seat in a 2-9/16' chamber. ![]() Not necessarily doubting your info, just saying.and thanks!Ĭliff, your gun was made in 1903, and likely has short chambers for the 2-9/16" (fired) length shell. I have two other responses on the LC Smith Collectors forum that says it was made in 1930, with 2-3/4" chambers, etc. This info is pretty different that other I have received, so I'll research it more. Click to expand.Thanks you very much, CK.
