savage fox

I have a savage fox shotgun in 2 3/4 and would like know how to rechamber it to 3"

Why would you want to? 2 3/4" is good for about anything that doesn't require steel shot and I'm sure the gun is not steel compatible. I'd keep it and use it as is, myself. Get another gun if you have a need for 3" or 3.5".

JMHO.

If you're asking how to do it yourself, I say don't. Don't let anyone talk you into putting it in a vice and using a hand drill or anything like that!
First off, how do U know that it's 2 3/4" ? Is this a A.H. Fox you're talking about? Or a Savage Fox model B?

Don't do it. Shooting 3" shells out of one of these guns would not be a pleasant experience.

Depends on the gun and the age of it. My BSE IS chambered for 3" shells, but it is a nice 20 gauge. A smith could do it easily enough, assuming AFTER he inspected it and found it to be worthy. One consideration - the barrels are like sewer pipes - thick enough, but if the action isn't up to it, you will shorten the life of it considerably (Like shooting hot 357's in a Jframe Smith).

There are a lot of 2-3/4" shells capable of most tasks - what do you want to do with the gun?
