Quick shotgun question...

[JohnCU]

You can shoot 2 3/4" shells in a 3" chamber, right?

 

[Kntx]

oh yeah

 

[RaynorWolfcastle]

try it and let us know how it turns out. I recommend aiming at something valuable when you do try it.

 

[FoBoT]

yes

 

[Yo Ma Ma]

The devil's in the details.

 

[rudeguy]

just check the barrel to make sure. I have never shot one that couldnt do both, but its better to be safe than sorry.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Yes. No problem.

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

On top of what's been said, if it's an automatic, it may not be hot enough to cycle the action. Other than that, it's fine.

 

[JohnCU]

thanks, it's a remington 870 marine magnum.

 

[midwestfisherman]

Yes, but just to be on the safe side....RTFM!!!!

 

[DrPizza]

remington 870 - no problem.
I use 2 3/4 all the time.

 

[JohnCU]

I been shooting 2 3/4 in it since I got it yesterday, but occasionally after shooting, it's hard to pump to load another one, like it jams a little and I have to pull hard to get it out. What could be the problem? Needs oiling?

See above, it's a Remington 870 Marine Magnum.

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

Is it new?

Not to be an ass...but read the manual first? Dunno if there is anything in there that could be causing a problem (some sort of preservative coating, etc).

It could just be the action being worked in. Just sit and cycle it a few hundred times and it should smooth out.

Has to be done a lot on bolt action rifles.

 

[JohnCU]

Yeah, didn't see anything in the manual, but I'll look again.
