My 12 gauge Remington 1894 Model CEO, made in 1906, has original 2 3/4 inch chambers, so marked on the bottom rear of the barrels. I believe that the higher grades, especially those with ordnance steel barrels had the longer chambers. All of the Damascus barrels I have seen in the Rem 1889, 1894 and 1900 models appeared to have 2 5/8 inch chambers. I would like to know if this is a difference between the Damascus and solid steel barrels on these models.
