Last one did well, so let’s try again.

Yeah, lead shot doesn't fuck up steel rifling but as far as i know it fucks your pattern up pretty good. Doughnut-ish is what i heard.
I'd just get a field barrel for shot. Unless it's Benelli where spare barrels cost wayyyy too much. And i love Benelli.
Need an 870 field barrel? Hmu.
Sure but my arms are super short. Mind uh.... sawing then down a bit for me?
If only i could friend. But sadly, the racist, homophobic and evil nstional firearms act of 1934 says that any shotgun barrel less than 18 inches is evil unless you pay some faggot $200.
I’m amazed the atf hasnt juat written in ‘and we get to finger your butthole too for reasons’ somewhere on it
And thus began Ruby Ridge 2
Have you ascertained what kind of choke your 18inch barrel is?
Most stock barrels are cylinder choke like that which means they will work fine for a defensive shotgun.
What you're gonna wanna do is pattern your gun. Take your defensive loads and shoot a large target at ranges from 5 yds to 20 or so. This gives you an idea of the spread you are working with. Modern ammo and guns are so good the pattern is usually .5 inch wide per yard of travel. This is a huge improvement over the 1 inch per yard of travel it was when i was a kid.
As to.barrels? I dunno man. In all my years i've never seen it quite like this. Local gun stores might have one. Also mossberg of all people makes a great 870 barrel. That is what is on mine.
Probably means it's cylinder bore, especially if it was an issued gun. But not all fixed bores are cylinder bore. Before changeable chokes became mainstream many guns had fixed chokes in full or improved for hunting and skeet/trap. Some side by sides and over unders even had one of each. The logic being the full choke was second for a follow up shot which would theoretically be longer distance.
I'd bet damn near anything. Improved cylinder if you're lucky. Either way you can run slugs and buck no problem and feel good about it. A good shotgun solves many problems.
Well Mossberg is still in business, Remington is not...
Being a hard core Benelli guy i always respected mossberg, then the dumpster defender happened and i loved them for it.
