It does indicate the gauge and the standard at that time was 65mm
later it was 16/65 and still later 16/70

See the pictures in the link about chamber length above

You are doing well

Mike

Chambers are assumed to be 65mm unless the 70 is present.

I found a SHARPIE accent highlighter that I can use for a chamber guage.

Thank you for explaining that. I remember using 2 3/4" shells in it for waterfowl hunting during the mid 1980's and then retired the gun when steel shot became the law of the land. My concern now is not knowing for sure if the chamber's have been changed to accept 2 3/4" shells. A virgin hull dang near seats itself in the chamber but then again, I'm not really sure what to look for. Maybe a trip to the gunsmith is in order.

There is a lot of info on this forum on measuring chamber length. You can see various methods here: http://www.16ga.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17473&highlight= Of course, I recommend my own solution as quick, inexpensive, a tool that anyone can constructed just about anywhere, anytime that gives accurate, reliable results, and then can be carried in your wallet for future use, or otherwise disposed.
