Old 16 ga Browning

The serial number of the Browning I wrote about a couple days ago is 76693. Browning identified the gun as built between 19-3 and 1939, But failed to give any details about the guns markings and chamber length. I will not shoot this weapon again unless I reload the correct shell.
Can anyone please help me or point me in the right direction to find out more about this Browning...
Thanks,

If this has already been done you'll see a narrow band of barrel extending out past the receiver, probably about 1/8". This band will show wear as it slides metal to metal within the receiver.
Alteration of the gun will have little or no effect on value or performance. A-5's IS GOOD GUNS!
Or... Load up some 2 9/16" shells and have a ball! By the way - Plastic cases are thinner than paper ones and won't cause excess pressure even in a slightly shorter chamber.
