newbie found a parker Trojan in CT

They can be removed. I had one on a Browning Sweet 16 and had it removed. If it is a poly, the barrels will have narrow slits in the end of the barrel so when it is tightened the choke is tighter and when it is loosened the choke is opened. Removing a poly is more of a problem then removing a cutts. Be aware, after removal the barrel must still be over 16 inches.

The barrel length right now is 28" so I have about 10" to play with

Aaron,

If the Savages are like the A5s, you can not use a Magnum barrel on a 2 3/4" gun. Even if it did fit, 3" shells would not function through the gun.

Good to know, I figured 3"ers wouldn't feed from the magazine but was kind of hoping to single load them.

In not against getting a SBS tax stamp and making myself a pocket 12 gauge!

As an aside, I see many more Remington Model 11s and Auto 5s than I do the Savage guns. I don't believe the parts interchange between any of them.

Question: Is the Savage like the Model 11 or the Auto 5? There are differences, no speed load, or mag cutoff in the Model 11.

I used to shoot high base 2&3/4 shells in my grandfather's ancient Model 11 all of the time. Strong guns, but indeed, don't shoot a 3"er in a barrel not made for them.
