    It's impossible to say if the gun is safe to fire at all. Have it checked out by a gunsmith first.
    I may be a bit crazy - but I didn't drive myself.

    I think all new shells made in the U.S. are 2&3/4 inch but many older guns had chambers shorter then this ask the gunsmith you are going to take it to if he has a chamber length gage.
