I was given a REM 870 Wingmaster by my Dad @ 17. I am nearly 44 now and it has served exceedingly well at most feathered game on this continent. I use an Ithaca 51 magnum for waterfowl, but always wanted my 870 to do the same, referring to handling 3" magnum shells. My 870 has a replacement 30 inch barrel (I like the swing) that purportedly is the same as on 870 versions that say "Magnum" on the receiver case. Is there difference? Am being told by friends (not gunsmiths) that my 870 will not eject a 3" shell and that if tried, I run the risk of damage...or death by stupidity. What say you, Gentlemen?
Best regards,
Bryant.
