Having the chambers lengthened to 2 3/4" could be a selling point. The guns sound like "shooters" and a person looking to shoot them might see 2 3/4" chambers as an addtional expense/issue they don't have to address. The Sterlingworth is a nice gun, I just picked one up myself however when it comes to 2 3/4" chambers being detrimental to collector value......we are not talking about a rare high grade gun which if that were the case I'd probably leave the chambers alone.
I see no point in shooting the short shells which over the years will be far more expenive than having chambers lengthened.
Reloading provides me with all the high quality, low pressure, lighter shot charge low recoil shells I'll ever need.
