A #2 casing can be cut and fit past the #3 on an old Conn "long-action" set-up", and will do so with the tops of the casings all lining up nicely...perhaps so on other brands as well...but the two knuckles coming off the old-#2/new-#4 to serve the #4 slide will have to be completely redone, as they will not point out to the proper planes - unless you don't mind it looking screwy (a la Yamaha 621F, etc.)
