rock47 1 Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 Why would you want to? 3" mags will handle 2 3/4" shells great! Y ou buy your 2 3/4" mag and it will work, but not with 3" shells. Kind of stupid in my opinion that they even made 2 3/4" magazines in the first place. It only confuses a guy like you and me to the whole magazine shell size thing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nippr 0 Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 Rock, just found this site. I ordered another 2 3/4" mag for my 20 last month. they sent me a 3" in error. I called EAA and they told me my 2 3/4" ammo wouldn't work in it. so my dealer sent it back for exchange. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ASSASSIN 1 Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 Hi guys i shoot my saiga 12c with 3" 8 round mags and i can use it set on magnum gass setting and it still functions 100% with either 3" or 23/4" shells , or even a mixture of both in the same mag. you will have no problems with the 3" mags all the best assassin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JesusCow 1 Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 Hi guys i shoot my saiga 12c with 3" 8 round mags and i can use it set on magnum gass setting and it still functions 100% with either 3" or 23/4" shells , or even a mixture of both in the same mag. you will have no problems with the 3" mags all the best assassin it's been stated before, but i'll say what i've read: the 12g 3" mags can fire 2-3/4" shells. while, with the 20g you must use the correct magazine depending on your load. i have tried using my 3" mag in my S20 and it functions OK, but it DOES jam and i wouldnt trust it for battle (or hunting) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
comp21 0 Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 3" MAGS WILL JAM WHEN YOU PUT 2.75" SHELLS IN THEM!!!! I can not stress this enough... it may work fine to switch the rounds in the 12ga mags, but this is regarding a 20ga and THEY WILL JAM!!! just thought I'd clear that up...

emclean 0 Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 you will experience a "faliure to feed", then you pull the charging handle back a little, and guide the shell in right. it is ok on the range but would suck in the field. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GoAF 0 Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Why would you want to? 3" mags will handle 2 3/4" shells great! Mine will absolutly not chamber a 2 3/4" with a 3" mag. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
