Are there any issues with mounting a Remington 870 Exress Super Magnum barrel on a Reminton 870 Express Magnum receiver? Will it even fit? Can the receiver cannot take the stress of a 3-1/2 Magnum shotshell? What if it is only used with 2-3/4" and 3" shells?
Accoridng to the Remington website, "Model 870 Super Magnum barrels chambered for 3 1/2" shells cannot be used on non-Super Magnum Model 870 receivers. However, Model 870 magnum barrels with 3-inch chambers can be used on Model 870 Super Magnum receivers, but only with 2 3/4 or 3-inch shells. Super Magnum receivers have serial numbers that end with the letter "A"." I wonder if this is because Remigton doesn't want to held accountable should somone fire some 3-1//2" in a barrrel mounted on a regular Express.
