new 870 shotty
picked up a Remington 870 26" 12 gauge from dicks tonight on sale for $260 which i didn't think was a bad price for a brand new gun... anway, i wanted this for home protection and a little fun shooting when i get the chance... i would like to have a shorter barrel for home defense and wonder if an 18" would be good?
what exactly to i need (i have read some stuff about some version of the 870 express barrel will not fit?) how much and where should i get it? not many gun shops around me that i know of and i'm a bit new at this.... i plan to read up around the web but enjoy your thoughts also!
thanks.Last edited by krese; 10-29-2010 at 11:38 PM.

18.5" is the norm. 18" is minimum. But measuring devices slightly vary. And you don't want it to measure 18" on your tape, but have it be 17 31/32nds on the ATF's tape.
Extended magazine tubes are readily available on the net.
Keep your 26" barrel. Unless its an ugly, rust pitted, half blued thing. My gun shop has an umbrella basket full of shotty barrels. Find a cheap one to cut.

I bought an extra one for my Mossberg here: http://www.tjgeneralstore.com/barrels.htm
I see 870s at Dicks with 18'-20' barrels and mag extensions already on them, I would have just bought one of those.
