    So the receivers for both the 2-3/4 and 3” guns are the same length but the ejection port is 1/4” longer
    on the 3” guns?

    And on the really early serial numbers the port is the same length on both because the shells back then were roll crimped and when ejected they were shorter than the newer 6 crimped shells?
