This is my first post - hello to all.
I recently purchased a used 870 Wingmaster 12ga 2 3/4" with the intent of modifying it from the current "field" configuration into a defense weapon. The gun is in excellent tight mechanical condition with a worn finish on the barrel & receiver.
Current barrel is 27" modified choke. I want to cut the length to 18 or 19" (depends on how far an magazine extension sticks out). But I wonder what restriction I would have at that length. Do I want any restriction at all? Cost is a consideration, but should I search the gun shows for a different barrel?
Any help is appreciated - & thnaks.
