Hello need some help Id of an 870
I just bought a used 870 and want to know what chamber it is but my serial number isn’t on the list. It is a 12 gauge. Serial number RS27866Y. Any help would be great I really just want to know what shells I can use and would like to turkey hunt with it
Re: Hello need some help Id of an 870
The barrel should contain the chamber markings, 2-3/4 or 3". If the receiver isn't marked "Super Magnum", it can't handle 3-1/2" shells.

Thank you. That’s kinda what I was thinking. Yes I understand that the barrel usually says the chambering. This one says 2 3/4, 3 or 3 1/2 if the receiver is a super mag. So it is only 2 3/4 or 3 inch thanks. I bought it thinking it was a super mag o well.
Re: Hello need some help Id of an 870
Easily misunderstood. The barrel contains the actual chamber. The receiver has to be able to cycle and eject the longer shells (Super Magnum) or not.
