What does it mean to have a shotgun 12-70?

12-70 is frequently used to indicate the gauge of the shotgun followed by the length of the chamber in millimeters. In the US, or non-metric measurements, that means a 12 gauge shotgun chambered for 2.75 inch (usually read two and three quarter inch) shells.
