I've got a dumb question...

I just picked up another Remington 870 today...This one is a 3-1/2" "Super Magnum"

Just wondering if any ammo mfg's make slugs and OO Buckshot in 12 gauge 3-1/2" magnum...

I haven't gotten out to the store to check yet...

ALSO, does Remington offer an optional short barrel (18") with the 3-1/2" chamber ???  I haven't seen any yet...

I think that would be the ULTIMATE home defense combination...


(edited cuz i cant speel)

wow,I'd hate to put a 3 1/2" slug down a short barrel.OUCH!!!

I don't think there are any slugs available in 3.5", but I believe Remington makes a OOO, that's triple, buck shot in the 12 ga 3.5".
They are gauranteed to kick hard.

Dragracerart, you're SOL, my friend! ;-)

Federal is the only company, I know of, that offers a buckload in 3.5" 12 ga.  It throws a PUNY load of 18 x 00Buck (remember...the tried and true standard 00Buck load in 12 ga. is 9 pellets).

And there aren't ANY ammo companies that currently that load a 3.5" rifled slug.  You'll have to be content with the PIPSQUEAK 3" Brenneke/Rottweil Gold Magnum 1 3/8 oz. slug (Dynamit Nobel) (OUCH!!!).

If I were you, I'd feel a bit undergunned if I had to take a quartering or full rear shot on a Brontasaurus! ;-)

I shot several Federal Classic 3" Mag. 1.25 oz slugs in a TCR '87 single shot rifle.  I could only do 5 at a time.  The recoil is hard on the consentration!  I don't think there's much that will keep moving after a solid hit with one of these.

dragracerart, do your self a favor, dont mess with that stuff in 31/2. its more than excessive. i belive, for defense, the diffrence between standard and 3in loads is just dead or deader, so 31/2 is just going further, i say save it for 80 yd goose shots, and kill bad guys with the already excessive 3 inch loads.

If it's made I GOTTA have it !!!

I was always the 'kinda guy that likes to have the biggest stick, the fastest car, the most tools, the biggest truck, the most guns, the hottest ammo, etc...

NOW you understand ??? [:)}[:)]
