Quick Barrel Question

Post by tkclow »

I have a standard 870 Express Super Magnum and I am looking for and 18.5 in Smooth Bore Barrel that accepts choke tubes. I found one on Brownwlls website but in the Q&A's they said it would not fit the Super Magnum. I never plan on shooting 3.5 Magnum shells. Would that be the only reason they say it would not fit? It is this barrel... http://www.brownells.com/shotgun-parts/ ... 11225.aspx Thanks for the input

There's really no difference between Super Magnum 870 barrels and other standard 12ga barrels aside from the longer chamber, and possibly a slightly heavier construction (though all 870 barrels are very strong to start with, and could probably handle super magnum pressures just fine). So long as a 12ga barrel is meant for a standard receiver with a 4-round mag tube, it'll work on a Super Mag model.

Thank you for the response. I thought that might be correct but I also didn't want to order and incorrect barrel...
