Model 12 question

I have a Winchester model 12 that serial numbers match on the receiver and barrel. The barrel is stamped Super Speed and Super X 3 in. The receiver's action is the same size as a 2 3/4 inch model 12. Is that right for the barrel? The shotgun has ingraving on both sides of the receiver of a duck scene with heavy scrolling down the top sides of the receiver toward the barrel ending half way down the top of the barrel. The shotgun looks like it was reblued but just after it was engraved. I am going to Auction it off and I do not want to misrepresent it if it is not a 3 inch.

Thanks. The ejector is what I was asking about. So I can use my spare 16 on the 12ga,right?

Isn't there a "gear" type of adjustment the allows "tightening" up the action? If so, wouldn't it be benificial to a buyer if the existing setting of this "gear" be reflected when selling the firearm?
In direct answer to your question, No, there is not a "gear" type adjustment. In my experience, it is rare to find a Model 1912/12 shotgun that has loosened up enough to need adjustment. The vast majority of them have never been adjusted since the day they left the Winchester factory.
