Default Ruger Red Label

I have a 12 ga. o/u that I bought used a few years back. My question is, does anyone have one that has 2 3/4&quot; stamped on the barrel. I found out the gun was made in the late 80's and everyone I have talked to says Red Labels were always 2-3/4&quot; & 3&quot; compatable. I tried shooting the 3&quot; under controlled circumstances and the gun was fine, I have been using 3&quot; since. Could this have been a screw up by Ruger or what<img src=icon_smile_question.gif border=0 align=middle> Any thoughts....

You have a strange one there.As far as I know all were 3&quot; chambered.
However The 20ga R.L. was introuduced in 1977 and the 12 ga appeared in 1982.The book I have here says that the 12 ga chambers were 2.75&quot;(2 3/4&quot and 3&quot;. Barrels 26&quot;,28&quot; and 30&quot;.
I would contact Ruger about this. They do not accept Emails but can be contacted at Sturm, Ruger& Co.Inc 411 Sunapee Street, Newport NH 03773 1-603 863-2000 or 863-3300.
I'm curious about this.
