I just got this today. I bought it off the original owners grandson, he was in his late 40's! He did not know how old it was.
After a good cleaning today, I decided to install one of my newer barrels that take the RemChoke so I can make this gun more universal and store its original barrel.
The new 870 barrel will not fit!!! I have never ran into this.
Pics:
The new barrel will not slip over the mag tube?
The original barrel is a 20ga, mod choke, 2 3/4
I don't think I can get a gunsmith to bore the mag tube lug out on the new barrel to make it fit, not enough meat to work with. The business end at the receiver is identical.
Thoughts? I want to use this 870 for a multitude of things. I would like to have the RemChoke system on it
