grizzly mag fed in 3" chamber?

[Big_red_truck]

Just wondering if the grizzly mag fed is available in a 3" chamber. I went on thecanada ammo web site and all I could find is a 2 3/4" chamber. I'd really like a 3" chamber.

thanks

I was wondering this as well. I am just going to get my hopes up for a mag fed semi with a 3 inch chamber

Likely not.....will the mags take 3"?

3" is a hunting round....the Grizz Mag Feds are not really hunting guns.......there's a reason most combat loads are 2 3/4"

if you ask me a combat round should also be a 3" inch or even 3 1/2" since there is more shots in a 3" shell.

Wouldn't make sense.

See, combat loads are either slugs or buck. Slugs max out at 1 1/4 ounces or so.....and don't take up lots of room, so a 3" shell is redundant.
An ounce of lead at 1300 FPS is and ounce of lead at 1300 FPS regardless if it came out of a 2 3/4" shell or a 3 1/2"

Buckshot is made up of large pellets.....and the # of pellets in a 2 3/4" combat load represent the maximum weight payload....and since that payload fits in a 2 3/4" shell, going to a 3 1/2" would just mean you have more shot buffer.

Besides, hunting loads with large paypoads are meant to reach out further, in a combat round you are dealing up close and lower recoil will trump longer reach revery time

I thought the DA grizzlys had 3" chambers??? I recall folks saying they did on here when they first came out...

They do, it's just that 3" don't always feed well out of the mags, IIRC. The mags will feed 3" reliably with a small modification to the feed lips. I seem to remember someone doing a thread...
Funny thing is, I have a mag fed 14" grizzly, that I haven't had a chance to fire yet..

Thats what I thought.... Seeing as I have some mags loaded w/ 3" BB's, lol kinda made me freak out there for a second. I have never fired 3" from mine, but I know for sure it isn't marked 3"...
I have the 15" mag grizz... you should go shoot yours, they're a blast.

Thanks for clearing things up. I guess i have researching to do. Ok ... but wouldn't the ballistics in a 3" slug shell be better then in a 2.75 shell? Is there more shot buffer or more powder? I know that there are more pellets (more OZ's) in a 3" shell then a 2.75 when it comes to bird shot/buck. Right

I should. I have a couple guns I haven't fired yet, two scopes I haven't sighted in, a new stock on my mini14 I have yet to try, and a new optic on my ar15 yet to be tested.

theres alot of different reasons for longer shells. Typically with shot loads you are either getting more pellets or higher mv, not more buffer. Same for slugs except increase is just velocity. You can fit 18 pellets of 00 buck in a 3.5" shell and fire it at the same velocity as a 9 pellet 2 3/4" for example. It all depends on what you want to use it for.
