magnums in remington 870 20ga express lw?

[gpboy57]

I have a remington 870 express 20ga lw (light weight) shotgun -my question is can i use 3" shells in it-it says magnum on the reciever-but does not say 23/4 magnum or 3" on the barrel. thanks for any help

It is a 3" chamber so you should be able to. The magnum refers to 3" magnums. Super Magnum is for 3 1/2".

I'm not too sure so other people will probably clear it up.

Yes. Take some Ben-Gay along if you feel you have to shoot 3".
