OK.
What makes an Remington 870 a 3" gun versus a 2 3/4" gun?
The barrel only?
The receiver?
The barrel AND the receiver?

My understanding is that both barrel and receiver have to be 3 inch compatible. Barrel will be marked 2 3/4 or 3 inch in Magnum receiver and 2 3/4 in all others and 3 inch compatible receivers will have Magnum stamped in them.

That's the way I understand it as well; and Supermag for 3.5".

Yep, I've got an 870 Express Magnum 20 gauge- the receiver will handle 3" shells, but the rifled barrel with it is only chambered for 2 3/4".
