Yes it can, however it is not as simple as lengthening the chamber in the barrel. There are in fact 12 different modifications that must be made to the shotgun to have it work properly with the longer shell. Contact the Browning service dept for a quote. Browning is the best source to have this done.
It will shoot any type it is chambered for.
Not sure excactly what the question is. All Browning Sweet Sixteens (imported to Browning) after WWII are chambered for 2 3/4 16ga shells. The barrels are mared as such. Prior to 1941, Sweet 16's and Standard 16's were chambered for 2 9/16" shells.
Only if it is chambered for them. Have it examined by a good gunsmith
It was made in 1954 and is chambered for 2 3/4" 16 ga shells.
Yes, However, the reverse is not true- 3 inch shells may NOT be safely fired in a gun chambered for 2 3/4 inch shells.

This is a Browning Auto-5 Shotgun, 16 guage made in 1950. It is chambered for 2 3/4" 16 ga shells
From Browning's website - "allowing the shooter to retain shells in the magazine and eject a shell from the chamber without feeding from the magazine."
I believe that the year was 1958.That was the first year Browning chambered a magnum version of its auto-5 shotgun.
yes.
The length of the chamber in a 2 3/4 inch chambered shotgun is 2 3/4". The longer 3" shotgun shells will not fit in the chamber, being 1/4" too long. You can shoot 2 3/4" shotgun shells, of the correct gauge, in a 3" chambered shotgun.
As the number 3 indicates,your Winchester model 42 can chamber either 2 1/2in,or 3 inch 410 shotgun shells.
