  short answer... no, however there MAY be more to it than "the shells are recessed to far and there is too much headspace". I'd suggest a trip to a GOOD double barrel gunsmith.

  Brownells sells head space rings and a reamer to deepen the recess for the ring. The ring is then soldered or bonded in place amd a new rim recess is cut. 12 Ga ring, #184-116-012-AC, Reamer #184-115-012AC. If a large lathe is available the chamber and ring could be bored thus avoiding the cost of the reamer.

  As mentioned, headspace rings are in order.
  I have his contact info here someplace, but can't seem to locate it. Google Mike Orlen, he's one of the best.
