You can put a 3" barrel on a 2-3/4" receiver, but you can only shoot 2-3/4" shells.

There is one exception to this. Remington sells a "Steel Shot" barrel that when used on a 2 3/4" receiver allows you to shoot 3" steel shot only, no lead. Go to their web site, it's on the barrel page. MIKE.
Edited: I just gave bad information, the Steel Shot barrel is for the 1100 only not the 870. Sorry, MIKE. |

If you put a 3" chambered barrel on a 2 3/4" receiver, you can fire 3" shells, but the gun won't eject them.
A 2 3/4" receiver can be converted by simply replacing the ejector assembly with a 3" Magnum ejector. This is a gunsmith-only job, since it requires special tooling to re-rivet the new ejector. Most better gunsmiths can do this for a reasonable fee. |
