Remington 870 ShurShot shooting 3" Shells?

[guitardude012]

I have a Remington "ShurShot" with a 26" barrel and a remington 870 receiver.

The receiver serial does not end in "M", it is stamped "RS#####D" and the barrel says "***12 GA. 2 3/4" and 3"*** 3 1/2" Only with Super Magnum Receiver"

It seems like the barrel can shoot 3" shells but I am not sure about the receiver?

Thanks

That Model is not on my radar, but it used to be if the serial number didn't end in 'M' the ejector probably would not eject empty fired 3" cases. They stopped making 2-3/4" 870s back in the 80s, so it probably will handle them. No danger in trying with a 3" chambered barrel in any event. The 2-3/4" and 3" receivers are the same except for the ejector and ejector spring.

Yeah actually I can't even find that model on Remington's website, though they have a few other ShurShot's there. I just pulled the box out of the closet to get a model # and academy says it is chambered for 3".

Thanks, it sounds like it may be worth a try.
