remington 870 mossberg barrels

Barrel wall thickness has always seemed thinner to me than the Remington marked barrels, which would make them weigh a little less overall. Of the several I've seen in use over the years, there was one that had the barrel ring come off for whatever reason, I don't know why. That's the only problem I've seen with them so far.
 
I have one of those Mossberg 870 18inch barrels. The extractor slot was roughly cut, and it had a burr/folded over metal that I had to gently dremel off. I didnt like that.
 
The Mossburg-made ones are much cheaper.

Definitely not. Remington barrels, if purchased directly from Remington, are cheaper than the Mossberg barrels. For example, I recently purchased an 18 1/2", I/C, rifle sighted, parkerized, Police barrel (#F242243) for an 870, from Remington, for $101.
 
A mossberg fully rifled slug barrel worked great on a 870, cheaper than Rem at the time. Remington did have better iron sights.
