870 Slug Barrels--best place to find?

[chrisb507]

I've run a few hundred trap rounds through my 870 Express, and I'd like to do a little deer hunting with it.

Anyone have any tips on the best place to find a (cheap) slug barrel for an 870, with a scope-mount--or ideally, a scope already mounted?

Thanks!

Chris,

I like smoothbores, I don't know if you want a rifles barrel for sabots or not. I prefer to get used barrels when I can, and find them at various gun stores I haunt, or in the For Sale/Trade Accessories forum here at THR. Gunbroker lists a good many barrels, and there are places like Corsons online which handle barrels as well.

Or you could just call Remington and order straight from the factory...

Thanks for the recommendation, Lee. I found that you can order them directly from the Remington website...though for the cost of a new barrel, I'm thinking of just getting a new gun.

I bought a rifled barrel with sights from Midway.
IIRC, it was $159.95.

Getting a used one is a great idea. People like me buy these things only to find they seldom get used. I keep it around for just-in-case.
JIC I find an outrageous sale on sabot slugs, that is. :^)
