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?

  is there any way to change an 870 that only shoots 2 3/4 inch shells to accomidate 3 or 3 1/2 inch shells?

  Look threw the list. Generally if it fits one size frame it has one part listing if parts are different there will be multiple part listing and #.

  I have a 16 Gage 870 that was made in the late 70's or early 80's and is has worn Speedfeed and Hogue synthetic stocks with no problems. It uses 12 Gage furniture but I tried to replace the bolt with a 12 gage bolt and it was a no go.

  I went through this when I was looking for a replacement Wingmaster 20 ga buttstock. I found out that the 12 ga and 20 ga buttstocks are interchangeable, so it would be reasonable to expect the 16 ga to fit either one.
  Now the forearms will be different as the magazine tubes will be a different size, I am not sure if the 12 and 16 would interchange.
  
  Also be sure if you need the early or later Wingmaster buttstock. If you get that wrong, the forearm will not match up, and I will know it, and so would a gun dealer if you happen to sell it....value spiral downward when it's not right.
  
  The early buttstock is harder to find and has a fleur de leis...a type of clover leaf inside the checkering close to the receiver. And it has a distinctive separate tapered wing like checkering flowing off the pistol grip checkering into the buttstock. The later one's are not as fancy.
  
  Just to be sure the buttstock portion that fits to the receiver on mine is, the width edge to edge is 1 3/8" and the height is 2"
  
  I hope that helps.
