2 1/2" 16ga shells (local places???)

[HappyDaze]

Hi; I know on-line I can get some 2 1/2" shells for an early 16ga model 12, I was wondering if anybody knows of a store in the North Bay area that might stock them, if not it's the internet, Thanks

It is actually 2 9/16". There is no harm in firing 2 3/4" shells, but they might not eject all the way and you will have to flick them out. The gun may have even been modified already for the longer shells. Mine has been and you would never know it.
