I have searched under both 'barrel' and 'bbl.', and I can't see that my question has yet been addressed. I have a chance to pick up a full-choked, plain bead 870 barrel of about 28" for $50. The vent-rib, modified, dual bead barrel that came with the gun should be really nice for trap, so I don't want to change it.
Does the choke constriction start gradually in front of the chamber, or is it confined to the last several inches of length as was stated in some past posts? I am wondering if any of that choke would be left after trimming the barrel to an 18"-20" HD length. Considering the cost of smithing services, would I just be better off buying a new, rifle sighted, IC barrel from Cabela's?
Rather than another post, can you tell me if the standard 870 trigger guard is alloy, or steel? If alloy, is there a steel replacement available?
