twistedfocus1647545489 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I'm thinking about getting back into hunting this season and started shopping for a shot barrel for my 870. Currently the only barrel I have is a Hastings rifled slug barrel. I used to always hunt with my single shot 20ga. but the wife will be using that if she decides she's into this hunting thing. I noticed it's damn near impossible to find just a basic bead sight, improved cylinder or similar barrel anymore. I'd rather not drop $200+ on a fancy Remchoke vent-rib barrel for some basic bird hunting. I know Mossberg makes a 18.5" bead sight barrel for around $100, but that's cylinder bore and more for shooting at people than birds. Anyone have a cheap 12ga. 870 barrel laying around they want to get rid of? I'd take a screw-in choke barrel for the right price (3" chamber and no rifle sights please).

schmuckingham Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I might have one but unsure of the rifling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1revin7 Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 By any chance you want to sell that slug barrel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedfocus1647545489 Posted October 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 By any chance you want to sell that slug barrel? No, I plan to hang onto it. I'd definitely recommend the Hastings to anyone in the market for a slug barrel though. It has claimed many a deer (though I have gotten away from deer hunting in recent years).
