Yes you can. 3" barrels will fit 2 3/4" receivers. No worries at all and there are lots of people who do that. Remington even condones the practice so have no fear.

3" shell will fit in a 2 3/4" chamber, still not supposed to do it either.
Read over several Remington documents and they all say NOT to use any other than 2 3/4" shells in standard receivers.

My bad. I was thinking of the 870. Apologies to all.

Sure as HEJJ shouldn't do it with a non magnum receiver 870 either!
Some VERY bad advice being thrown around here!
Well, for starters, here's what Remington has to say about it:
"NOTE: Model 870 Extra Barrels with 3" chambers will fit Super Magnum, Magnum, and 2-3/4" receivers. These barrels will handle both 2-3/4" and 3" shells when used on Magnum receivers. Use only 2-3/4" shells when these barrels are used on 2-3/4" receivers."
"NOTE:
"All Model 870™ 12-gauge barrels are interchangeable without adjustment, except the Model 870 12-gauge Super Magnum™ and Model 870 12-gauge Special Field."
That's from their web site.
Yes, you can put a 870 barrel chambered for the 3" 12 gauge on a 2-3/4 inch 12 gauge 870 receiver, but you won't be able to reliably fire, extract and eject 3 inch shells through it without some work.
To do so will require that you replace the ejector with one designed for 3 inch shells, there is a "hump" on the ejector that is just about exactly 2.75" back from the staked end of the ejector, on the 2-3/4 inch receiver, and it needs to be 3 inches back to be able to kick 3 inch shells out reliably.
