All day long. Any shotgun can handle shorter shells than it is chambered for as long as they are the same gauge.
The longest shotgun shell that you can safely use in your 12 gauge shotgun are 3 inchers.
not at all
First of all you would have to determine if your gun will accept 3" shells.Second,if your gun is very old it may not be adviseable to fire it at all.Have a qualified gunsmith check it out. In a word, NO. When you say very old and worn out you don't want to add the word MAGNUM. DO NOT USE 3" SHELLS.

Quite a few. .410 shells were made in 2 inch, 2.5 and 3 inch version, paper, all metal and plastic shells. There are loaded with birdshot, buckshot, slugs, blanks and noise maker shells.
Need a detailed description of finish, condition, all features and markings.
They never did. Winchester makes a paper shell and they all still make brass shells.
you have a 12ga Magnum made in Herstal Belgium by Fabrique Nationale in 1969. FN was the manufacturer of all belgian Brownings. auto5man
Shotshells were not created until after the 1860s. First shells were all metal. Later shells had a brass head, and paper body, and could be any of several colors-
Yes, it will. In all modern shotgun shells, the pellets are encased in a plastic "wad" that keeps the shot in a tight group as they travel down the barrel. The pellets never actually touch the walls of the barrel so you don't have to worry about the steel shot causing excessive wear. Just be sure you're shooting the proper shells. If you try to fire 3" or Magnum shells in a gun chambered for 2 3/4", you're risking SERIOUS injury.
