    I bought a 12 ga Geha Remo Shotgun and I have heard that they should not be shot because the bolts are weak. Is this true because I was pretty sure that a 98 Mauser action was stout enough for magnum rifle calibers, so why wouldnt it be alright for a 12 ga?

    I just cleaned up a Geha 12 ga for a 85 year friend. It had about 60 year old old dried grease all over the action. Had a two digit serial number!

    Anyways, does any one know what the chamber length would be on this gun.

    Thanks, Jim

    My guess would be 2 9/16

    all the 12 ga. 'GEHA's' I've seen are 2 3/4" chambered, check the proof markings. there should be a '70' in there somplace meaning 70mm=2 3/4". these are very 'shootable' as long as the bolt head is in place

    Yes they are 2 3/4 chambered. I have one. I shoot trap and dove loads in it. Fun little piece of German ingenuity.
