They rattle my nugget in the light 870!

It's a very strong gun, but might be an exception. Everyone has their preferences. I don't like Winchester 1200's with the alloy receiver and the rotary bolt head that locks directly into the barrel. (Someone may take great exception, just my opinion) I love the Mossberg 500 design but it too has an alloy receiver, the bolt locks into a steel extension off the barrel, steel to steel too. Remingtons bolt locks into the top of the steel receiver. Of all I like the solid construction best for that reason.

I personally own M500's, 870, and old M12. But the 870 is a good one. I cannot condone what you are asking about, even though I personally have done it. You would not want to do much if anything I do to begin with. LOL Gary sure is right, the hull gets hung up upon ejection unless the receiver is professionally opened up about 1/4" more long. For what it costs you could likely do a favorable trade for a factory magnum.

Many shotgun chambers (2-3/4") might chamber a 3" but it's dangerous to fire it in them. The chamber has no provision for the opening fingers of the plastic shell opening and it really spikes pressure. She might blow. Just FYI, just because it fits don't make it OK. But what you originally asked it a different kettle of fish.

We just talking guns....
