Default Remington 1100 Question

My father left me his 1100 Remington. It is a 12 gauge, 2-3/4", 30" barrel with full choke. No choke tubes. The shotgun has not been shot for over 20 years. The shotgun has fantastic wood on it, and is in excellent shape.

I want to start hunting with it.

I was going to buy a new barrel(preferably a good used one) with choke tubes. Can I put a 3" barrel on the shotgun?? Or do I need to keep it 2-3/4"??

I am going to take it to a gunsmith and have it taken apart and completely cleaned before I shoot it. However I really wanted a 3" shotgun. Maybe I will leave it in the safe and not hunt or shoot it. But I would like to hunt with it since it was my dad's.

Anybody got a good used barrel for sale?? Tom.
