I purchased a smith 16 ga. field about 20 yrs. ago. 2.5" chambers, after having 2 gunsmiths refuse to lengthen cones and suggesting vintage shells instead( they would not do the job for liability reasons). I took a chance and fired some standard 2.75" shells. Gun handled them fine. Since I have fired 2,000 + shells in the gun with no ill effects. This of course is anecdotal and the experts may say I'am just lucky.
