Lord Geordie Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Hiya Guys I have just had a phone call from my local gunshop to let me know they have some escorts comming in tomorrow 3 and 1/2 inch magnum chambers My mate wanted one and the guy said i can exchange MY 3 inch magnum chamber for the 3 and 1/2 if i wish for free :thumbs: I have heard a few stories circling the net about the 3 and 1/2 inch being able to take 3 of the 2 and 3/4 shells in the mag and one in the chamber effectivly making this a 4 shot and illegal to own on a Shotgun cert??? Can anyone clarify this for me. I tried getting 3 in the mag of the 3 inch and almost got the 3rd in it was only shy about an inch so the extra 1 and 1/2 inch loss in the Mag by using 2 and 3/4s would about see the 3 shots in the mag being true :thumbs: Hope someone can help me out LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinders Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 I brought an escort 2 months ago I get 4 shots Was told by shop that it is legal as long as it has been crimped and you can only get 2 3inch shells in mag I use Eley Hymax 1 in chamber 3 in mag hope this helps .very good gun for price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobt Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 I wondered about this too, then I thought what if the forcing cones in the chamber are too far away from the smaller cartridge? will it affect the velocity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted March 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 I had asked if this shotty would be ok with standard 2 and 3/4 shells and was told they are no bother at all so i would assume they will be just fine. LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
