Can a wichester 1200 reciever be fitted with a 3 inch chambered barrel? What would happen if a 3 inch shell was fired from a 2 3/4 chamber? Not something I really want to test.
the reason I ask is:
My significant other has just bought a used Winchester pump 12 gauge full choke w/ 2 3/4 inch chamber w/ wood stocks. My full length 870 with plastic stocks is just way to cumbersome for her. She enjoys the light weight of the gun even when fully loaded. I just worry that she will inadvertantly put a 3 inch shell in the 2 3/4 barrel that she has. I have checked the gun and every brand of 3 inch shell I tested cycles through just fine...."without firing of course". thanks in advance. Peas!
