Looks like a deal to me!

I wish he had better pics but he swears it's in perfect shape, looks and function.

They made an 1100 magnum that shoots either shell provided you have the correct barrel on it. Love the 1100.
OH, yeah, that's the difference, the 11/87 shoots either interchangeably from the same barrel.

I just called him back. He said the receiver IS marked Magnum.Make sure the receiver is marked magnum. They might have a magnum barrel that's marked for both, on a regular receiver, in which case you would NOT be able to shoot the 3".

Just looking at the ad, make sure he has the 2 3/4" barrel. I don't have much use for 3" anymore since I discovered 2 3/4" fasteel. Upland birds, I'd never have a use for a 3" only gun. I doubt a new 2 3/4" barrel is real cheap, though it might not be THAT bad. I haven't priced 'em.

Shouldnt I be able to shoot 2 3/4 in with a 3"barrel?

Just not shoot 3" in a 2 3/4 barrel.

Been a while, but IIRC the gas valving...orifice...is different in the 3" vs 2 3/4" barrels. 2 3/4" is probably gonna jam in the 3" barrel....I'm thinking...some one help me out here. The 11/87 was an improvement in that it incorporated a valving system that bled off excess gas from the 3" round such that one didn't need to switch barrels/gas ports. It's about the gas pressure, not the chamber size.

I'd call him and tell him I'm on my way!
The 1100 magnum I am familiar with shoots both 2 3/4 and 3 " shells from the same barrel that is marked to shoot either.
Good find there.

i'VE BEEN DOING SOME RESEARCH. iT SOUNDS LIKE IT SHOULD CYCLE THE HEAVE 2 3/4 BUT MAYBE NOT THE LIGHT ONES. Darn cap lock!I'd call him and tell him I'm on my way!

The link you posted was for a 12 gauge Model 1100 Magnum with a plain barrel. Please don't get offended, but I think you need to do some reading and undestanding before you jump the shark over a gun.
A 3" Magnum 1100 will work with with 2-3/4" Magnum shells also, in either gauge, but how well it works with other lighter 2-3/4" ammo is going to be an unknown until you try the particular gun. Also, many 1100s have been "Bubbaed" by previous owners. I have seen a cracked receiver on more than one. I am an 1100 lover. When one guy cried to me about his cracked receiver I looked at it and the gas ports had been drilled out to 1/8". I asked him and he assured me he had checked another one and it had 1/8" ports. The one he checked was an 11-87. Totally different, and I was not surprised at the results. He is now convinced 1100s are junk. He is a computer whiz, but he couldn't understand gas dynamics in forever.
