Do they or don't they (remignton that is) make an 870 with a 7-shot magazine as opposed to the ubiquitous 6 shot I see everywhere? I seem to recall seeing one in Shotgun News but I haven't been able to find one on GB. If so, where can I get one?

I found all the things I needed for the 870. A tactical forend, which included a M3 Illuminator, belt carrier for the illuminator and 2 new lithium batteries, a top folding stock w/ tactical pistol grip and a side saddle shell holder all for $250. Not bad considering that I had only $100 in the shotgun. Thanks for the input everyone. Next on the list is a Sig P226 .357. I can but it know in the box, never been fired with the Sig case for $350. Good deal or not. I haven't had much expeience with Sigs. I have heard several issues, but none have been definant. Thanks.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Thanks,

Gunnut,That is what I was thinking, barrel is the factor.
No...the receiver AND the barrel are both factors. Some of the early receivers will not take a 3" barrel. Both the receiver has to be 3" capable, and the barrel will be marked 2 3/4 &v 3".
OK, I think I got it. If receiver will eject 3" shells, it is OK. Not an issue with receiver strength. After all, the pressure is inside the barrel.
The bolt and locking lugs in the receiver is what holds the pressure in the barrel. But the strength is not really an issue here, as long as there are no barrel obstruction. It is just the ability to function. Do not ever put a 3" shell in a 2 3/4" barrel, as that can create that obstruction.
