What should I do?

Post by rhythmgod »

Right now I have an 20' in. barrel w/ rifle sights on my 870. It is my home defense gun but I also have a 28'in barrel for hunting or skeet shooting if I want to switch it up. What i was wondering was should I get the 18.5'in barrel? I don't have a problem selling the 20' barrel either since it wont be very necessary. I don't need the sights cause I have a rail and that opens up many options for sights and optics. Let me know your opinions. Thanks.

I have 20 inch barrel too and it looks like universal barrel to me. 18.5 inch is shorter but not much.

1.5" isn't much difference. If you want it shorter, i'd go the whole hog and take more off if it's just for HD.

Go short for HD it will look uber cool in the off season and collect less dust Lol.
Don't buy it if you can't sell it.
