As SumToy mentioned, the G3 has is a ProBore (overbored to .735" dia). While this may work well with shot, it's not best suited for slugs. With the G3's relatively high MSRP, perhaps you nephew would be happier if he swapped for a 11-87 with an extra barrel. Of course, being a wedding present a swap may be taboo.

It should be noted, the G3 was introduced in 2006 but is not available in 2009. It's not known if this is a pause in production or the end. With this in mind, extra 3" 1100 barrels may never be made available by Remington (there are none shown at their web site). If the G3s are a limited run, then they may be of great interest to Remington collectors. Your nephew is between a rock and a hard spot. Perhaps his G3 is best left NIB.
