I'm looking at two different 1100 magnums.
One has more complicated engraving on the receiver and bolt as well as more detailed checkering on the stocks. This one has a serial number beginning with "L" the other begins with "M". Are the differences in age or "grade" or what? As I said BOTH are 12 GA 1100 magnums.
The one beginning with M has a 30" ribbed barrel stamped for 12 Ga Magnum 3" shells. The other barrel is stamped for 2 3/4 or 3 inch shells. Can 2 3/4" shells be fired from the barrel marked 3inch 12 Ga magnum?
I'm considering a deal and need to be schooled ASAP. Not finding anything yet that specifically addresses this.
Thanks so much for helping.
