I have a friend who wants a 16ga 870 barrel. He wants a vent rib barrel only.
# one choice is 26" or 28" choke tube barrel.
# two choice is 26" or 28" fixed choke barrel
tdnathens@aol.com or 859-338-4815
Thanks, Tom Dulin |

I'm going to risk a verbal thrashing here from one or more of the post stomping psycho apes who trail me around the site like a bad smell. 
I have a suggestion. Why not locate and buy one of the older ribbed barrels and have some Colonial or Tru-chokes installed by someone like Mike Orlen. I'm betting the cost difference will be neglegable if the buyer can locate a reasonably priced used barrle or one from old stock somewhere.
The newest 16 ga 870 barrels are apparently untapered, unswamped 12 gauge tubes w/Remchokes. They are way too heavy for a 16 ga game gun, and they unbalance the usually excellent handling characteristics of the model IMO. Anyway, its just a thought. tell your friend I said, good luck too. |

(16gg) As listed in the post his #2 choice is just what you suggested.
You never have gotten back to the post on tang interchange. You seem to be the only member with both types of 16ga receivers.

| My apologies Tom. Unfortunately, I occasionally have an attack of CRS syndrome. I found the post and answered the question to the best of my knowledge. Hope it helps. |
