Can this be done?

Can you shoot 2 3/4" shells in a gun that says 3" or 3 1/2" only?

 

[AK shooter]

Yes!

Thanks, I wasn't sure!

That is the beauty of a shotgun. Just playing around? Buy the cheapest low brass 2-3/4 shells you can find...

I've been told that some Autos won't cycle properly on low brass 2 3/4" shells.
Otherwise blast away, I have some older 2 3/4 steel shot I'm shooting in my Rem. 800 Super Magnum, I'll shoot them until they are gone for sure.

Good Catch Nick, sometimes with a picky semi shotgun you can lube up the contact points and get it to function while some just won't operate with the low brass cheapo shells...

I have a rem 1100 3" magnum that will not feed the low brass 2 3/4 target shells. but it eats all tall brass
