check on the side of the barrel
That's the important part. It will say on the barrel what length shell it will accept.

The receiver will say Magnum, AND the serial number will end with the letter "M".
Since yours ends with a "V" it isn't a Magnum.
You can have the receiver converted to Magnum by having a gunsmith with the correct special riveting tools install a Magnum length ejector assembly.
In fact, the only difference between a Magnum and standard receiver IS the ejector.
Wilson Custom offers a "Remington Steal Deal" in which they rebuild your gun, parkerize it, put on new synthetic stocks, AND convert non-Magnum guns to Magnum by installing the longer Magnum ejector and a 3" chambered barrel.
