Can you safely use modern 2-34 shells in Winchester mod 12 chambered for 2-916 shells?

The Winchester Model 12 was one of the best pump shotguns ever invented, but I'm afraid trying to chamber a round 1/4 inch longer than the gun was designed to fire would be very difficult and the pressures generated would be higher than the 9/16 was designed to handle.

Do crabs lose their shells?

if they find another shell that they like better, they may just change right into it. I'm suggesting if you have a pet hermit crab to get around five shells for each crab try to pick around the size or maybe a little bigger for the shells. also i wouldn't buy painted shells they don't seem to like them very much. Hope that helps! :)
