I uncovered 3-inch .410 shells/guns from 1933 described on a cartridge collector site, but I'm having trouble finding reference to when a 3-inch 12 gauge first came along. I have an old single barrel 12 gauge 3 inch that I suspect is from the 1930's or before.

Can you use 2.75 inch shotgun shell in a 12 gauge 3 inch chamber shotgun?

Yes, you can use 2.75-inch shotgun shells in a 12-gauge shotgun that has a 3-inch chamber. The shotgun is designed to accommodate both shell lengths, so firing a 2.75-inch shell will not pose any issues. However, always ensure that the shotgun is in good working condition and that you are using the correct gauge ammunition.

Can a marlin 200 410 shoot magnums?

The 12 g Marlin 200 single shot shotgun SHOULD be marked on the barrel, something like "model 200 12 g 3" Modified" That means it will fire the 3 inch magnum shotshell, and has a modified choke. If you have a shotgun marked 2 3/4, do NOT fire a 3 inch magnum, even if it will chamber. The forcing cone will not have enough length for the shell to open, and it will cause unsafe high pressures. Every 200 I have seen (a limited number) WAS chambered for 3 inch Magnum shells.
