Why? Because it's a waste of money, "plus shipping" two ways. You think it's 2 1/2", and the gunsmith will confirm that, whether it's 2 1/2 or not, before sending the bill.

Because removing metal is irreversible. Because it's unnecessary. Because there is a long history of poorly done chamber lengthening, saved from disaster only by the excessive caution exhibited by American gun makers on the dimensions of their barrels. Because shooting 2 1/2" for hunting isn't that difficult or expensive. Because I have seen too many classic vintage guns ruined by shade tree and other unqualified smiths who mess with guns without understanding what they are doing. A whole lot of "fix today's problem" without ever getting to the root of the problem. Fast forward decades and it's another gun that is beyond salvation.

well back, the first thing you say here is true. Removing metal is irreversible...
but the rest of what you say here is...well untrue...
I base my opinions on what I have seen over the past forty years or so, re-homing thousands of doubleguns...
what Is your claim to fame?
keep it simple and keep it safe...

Interesting Ed. Please be specific. Tell me what I said that is untrue. My claim to fame is that there is no short term profit motive for me when I am looking at guns. My claim to fame is I have seen numerous examples of guns "restored" by your old go to gunsmith Ed Lander, that were effectively ruined by buffing, by terrible CCH using a blow torch and I have listened to your bullshit defense of those examples. My claim to fame is that when I actually go to resolve a old gun's issues, I do something like this: https://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=569690I don't put lipstick on a pig and send it down the road. I simply voiced a difference in opinion, after voicing support for part of your post. Who is getting negative. You call out my observed opinion, where I made no reference to you, as untrue? You haven't a leg to stand on so best be quiet.

of the three guns you describe, the sauer sounds like the best bang for the buck...
also, gunsmith usually can safely open Sauer chambers to 2 3/4"...but still keep loads to under 1200 psi...
and b&p comp one are wonderful loads for old and new guns... Bad, bad advice regarding chamber lengthening and 1200 psi. 1200 psi isn't enough pressure to barely open the crimp and would be perfect to roll shot out of the end of the muzzle. Maybe you meant fps, but fps generally isn't related to pressure (psi), but man alive, 1200 psi is a burp and a dribble...

well back, so now it's about ed lander again...
you make foolish broad all encompassing statements here...
and then you pick a lesser broad subject to defend your foolishness comparisons...
responding to your dribble is a waste of time...
