Hello Ken, That was a good joke. It got us all laughing a good laugh. Telling us that you fired a 3 and 1/2 inch 10 gauge magnum out of an antique 10 gauge L C Smith with 2 and 7/8 inch chambers.
If you really actually did this and you still have all of your fingers and both eye balls you are a very very lucky guy indeed.
Do you still have the empty case that you fired in this old L C Smith ???
Maybe what you actually fired was an early 1970s production plastic 10 gauge 2 and 7/8 inch shell loaded with a 4 dram equivalent load of lead shot.
If you still have the fired empty 10 gauge case please measure it from end to end in the fired/open position and tell us what that length is.
Even that early 1970s factory load is a little to hot for our antique 10 gauge L C Smith side-by-sides.
