FWIW, my 1973 Bernardelli Gamecock 20 gauge came with 3" chambers, even though it weighs no more than (and probably a couple of ounces less than) 6 pounds. I think the company was building what the US distributors told them to, without any real concern for how unpleasant setting off a 3" shell in a gun that light would be.
