No made for 2and a half inch shells
You can shoot both a 2 1/2 and a 3 inch shell.
yes it will. the rating shotguns are chambered for is the maximum size shell you can shoot. i have a 1100 LT chambered for 3 inch and i shoot 2 3/4 inch shells out of it mostly.
You can fire 2 and 3/4 inch shells in a shotgun chambered for 3 inch shells. There is no 3 and 3/4 inch shell made.
the shell shouldn't fit. there's way too much interference
Yes, you can shoot 2 1/2,2 3/4, and 3 inch shot gun shell in that barrel.
If the gun is marked 2-3/4 on the barrel, that is the maximum length shell that the gun will shoot.
if the shell is 410 but 2 1/2 inches long no problem if you a 3 inch chamber size
Definately not. I can't think of any offhand that can, but if it is not marked on the barrel then it cannot shoot them.
If the barrel says"2 3/4 inch shells", don't shoot 3 inch magnums. You might get away with it for several hundred shells, or you may crack the stock or forearm with the next shell you fire. If you want a magnum, go buy one, and save the Auto 5 for pheasants quail, and rabbits.
Any 2 3/4 or 3 inch shell. That includes birdshot, buckshot and slugs. Sabot slugs will not shoot well in a smoothbore. Stay with rifled slugs.
What is marked on the shotgun? Unless it is marked for 3 inch shells, DO NOT attempt to fire them. 3 inch shells WILL chamber in most 2 3/4 chambers, but they are UNSAFE to fire- there must be room for the folded end of the shell to open. Using longer shells causes the shell to open inside of the bore, resulting in much higher and unsafe pressures. The 3 inch magnum shotguns began production in the late 1950s- I believe yours is a much earlier model. You should check with Browning- see link below. Shoot safe.
Yes you can you can shoot 3 or 2 and a half in
