870 express 18" police barrel

[alucard0822]

I am looking for some help. I have a newer 870 express that came with a 26" rem choke barrel. I have been wanting to install an 18" smooth bore barell with the police style ghost ring sights. After much searching all I have found are rem barrels that have pressed in beads, 20"barrels with rifle sights, a cheap looking heatshield with sights on it, and not much of anything else. I would prefer an 18" barrel with sights on it, but if needed I could drill and tap the reciever for a rear sight, I would just then need a barrel with a front blade, or screw in sight. I plan on shooting 00 buck and a couple slugs at the local indoor range and possibly a shotgun class in the future. Any help, and maybe some pics would be appreciated.

Contact Remington directly.
They will sell you an 18" Police barrel with the rifle front sight.

To clarify: you're not going to find a factory barrel with ghost rings on the barrel. You can get a bead on the barrel, rifle sights on the barrel, or a front sight on the barrel and a ghost ring rear on the receiver.

If you're looking for an option that will allow you to accurately shoot buck/slugs in class and then switch over to the 26" for hunting/clays, I'd suggest a rifle sighted barrel. I picked up an 18" RS Police barrel on ebay several years ago for about $120.

I do still occasionally shoot clays with it, I like the idea of the rifle sighted police barrel, but have not been able to find one, worst case if I do have to settle for the bead, I do like those wilson sights, and think that combo would work out fine. Thank you all for the help.
