870 18" IC blued ball-detent with RS...

[mostholycerebus]

Does this barrel exist? I have an 18" CYL with bead now, in park on a blued wingmaster. The same size (or 18.5") but blued with rifle sights, improved cylinder, and the ball-detent would meet exactly what I want in a HD SG, but I can't seem to find anything in this size but bead sights, and the vast majority of those in CYL.

Thanks.

I do not recall ever seeing an 18" RS barrel in any finish.

However, one of my personal favorite barrels is the 20" version. Mine has Remchokes and is blued. Maybe you should go there.

HTH....

I have a blued 18.5" RS barrel on my 870 Police Requiem; it's manufactured by Mossberg. They are CYL barrels, though. They were on "blow out" by Havlin Sales for about two years until about six months ago. I'm sure you can still find 'em...

The 870 Police offers an 18.5" IC RS but is Parkerized not blued.

I haven't ever seen a factory 18" RS blued 870 barrel, they may have made them but I haven't seen one that I recall. 20", yes- they're pretty common. So are the Parkerized versions from Police guns.

I just got a few 18.5" IC RS barrels with the Marine Magnum style electroless nickel finish from the Remington Country Store on closeout ($59 each) but they're all gone as of about three weeks ago.

fwiw,

Holy cow, that's a steal of a deal, Lee.

I have one, but it's ghost ring. Gloss blue, 18", IC. It's on a factory Police Magnum, all gloss blue and walnut, from Bud's about seven years ago.

I thought so too. It pays to read the THR Shotgun forum- a member posted the link to the sale in one of the threads here.

Double-damn. This is my favorite section and I missed out on it!

I'm not sure it has the detent: Parked and not blue however (and already posted about... my mistake.)
