system in any way. The gas ports in the
barrels differ, so that you can interchange
2 3/4" chambered barrels and 3" chambered
barrels on the same action
NOTE: With the 3 *
inch Magnum barrel
installed the B-2000
is designed to function
reliably with 3
inch Magnum shells While
no harm can come from shooting 2 3 /4" Mag
num Ioads in the 3 inch chambered Magnum
barrel, it is not advised since the ejector
mechanism built into the
barrel extension
of the 3"
barrel to specifically eject 3" cart-
ridges
is not totally dependabIe upon ejec-
tion with the shorter cartridges. Should the
shooter not mind an occasional hang up in
the ejector port with the shorter 2 3/4" Mag_
num shells he indeed may also use them if
desired.
