So, your advice is to take a perfectly good, legal shotgun, mutilate the barrel, rendering it illegal and possibly inaccurate.

I’m curious as to how much tactical benefit you expect to derive from this as opposed to just buying an 870 with a legal 18 inch barrel that you can take to the range and practice with as opposed to keeping hidden away?

As I had suggested, it was for home defense or CQC...Accuracy when talking room to room is not an issue and the modification from a long shotgun into a short manueverable weapon is more adapted to this environment...it is intended for nothing but home defense...that’s it...

I got an 18 1/2” barrel from cheaperthandirt for my Mossberg: $69.00. I saw no sense in `circumsizing’ the longer barrel that came with it. And in this state, saw your barrel under 18” and you buy yourself a peck of trouble.

I agree. I bought the Remington 870 with the 18" LEGAL barrel and a legal extended magazine. I got it for less than $370 and it had an extended magazine (6+1).

I actually have both the 28" and 18" barrels. Except when I am in the field or that range, I keep the 18" barrel on the 870, loaded with 00.
