Re: 12 Guage 870 Special Field Problem
Looks like the measurement on the barrel you wanted is 10 inches , the magazine tube from the front of the loading port opening to the end is 10 and a half inches. Hope this helps . Was gonna post pics but says file is too big and I have no idea how to fix it. Unfortunately I am not very computer literate. I will be glad to text or email them to you if you want . They are just a tape measure beside the parts you inquired about.

Re: 12 Guage 870 Special Field Problem
Found out that this sight is a Marbles Expert sight with ivory bead. The guy at Remington acted like he had never heard of a Special Field model but I got some help from a local gunsmith and ordered one from Midway... Thanks .. Mike

Glad you got it figured out. If you couldn't find the part, I was going to suggest filling the hole in the sight base with colored hobby paint.

Yeah, those are what I needed. Thanks for the help there. Now I just need someone who can do the same on an MCS (though I do have some hi-res images I can extrapolate from.).
