Assuming the gun is original, yes - it is a 2 9/16 inch chamber. That gun was produced late in 1917, they went to 2 3/4 inch. chambers in 1927.

A lot of dealers bought this model on a special price deal and had them cut to 2 3/4in an they sold like hot cakes.Check yours out might be cut already,or if not you can have it cut. Mike
