What size shells can be shot in a model 1897 Winchester shotgun Also what can be safely shot in this shotgun for duck hunting without using lead?

The shell size is normally stamped on the barrel near the reciever. Shells have been made in many sizes over the years ranging from inch & a half mini shells up to three & a half inch magnums. If you cant find a size marked on the shotgun you should have a gunsmith inspect the gun to determine proper size. A shotgun that old cannot fire steel shot. The barrel steel is too soft and will be ruined by steel shot.


Can you replace an original Browning A5 barrel chambered for 2 and three quarter inch with a new one chambered for 3 inch shells?

The barrel may be able to be fitted however the shotgun would still be limited to 2-3/4" shells. A longer stroke of the bolt is required when shooting the 3" magnum shells which requires a different receiver. Not the best idea.

Your question needs some work- as written, has no meaning. A shotgun marked 3 inch can shoot 2 3/4 inch shells, or 3 inch. A gun marked 2 3/4 inch can only shoot those- no 3 inch shells.

What is break in shotgun?

There is no "break in" shotgun. A "break open" shotgun is a single barrel, double barrel, or combination rifle/shotgun which breaks open in the sense that a lever will unlock the action, allowing the barrel to pivot at a hinge at the front of the receiver, pivoting the rear of the barrel up to expose the chamber. A shells may be loaded into the chamber and the barrel pivoted back to close the action. The act to "break in" a shotgun means to fire it a few times to loosen it up.


Is there any gun that can shoot both a shotgun load and bullet from the same barrel?

A 41 magnum caliber revolver will shoot 410 gauge shotgun shells but is not recommended. The shot will lead the barrel rifling. There are also adaptors you can put in a shotgun that allow you to fire pistol/rifle ammunition.
