870 Express 20 ga. Magnum

[FucileCorto]

Hello...this will sound silly, i.e. "you should have asked before ordering", but I just ordered a new 870 Express 20.ga. magnum with 2 barrels...1 rib vented and the other rifled for slugs. The question is this...will the 20 ga. magnum only accept 3 inch shells or will it also take the 2 3/4 inch shells? I have read where the magnum only takes 3 inch shells, but I have also read it will take 2 3/4...little help here...Thanks...JOHN

All of the 2 3/4 inch shells will shoot in a 3 inch magnum - since the 2 3/4 inch shells are shorter than 3 inch.
