Hello!
I recently got into skeet, and would love to casually pursue it. Before I go buy an O/U double or something, I'd like to modify my existing 870P for the sport and take the slow approach.
From what I've read I should look for a 26" vented-rib (no idea what this is) barrel with a front bead (as opposed to the middle bead on Wingmaster barrels). I guess the finish doesn't matter too much - probably something matte would be best to match the parkerized finish on the rest of my 870P.
Not sure if a choke is necessary? Would the RemChoke be what I would want?
Can anyone make some suggestions of where to look for such a barrel? Would an Express barrel fit my 870P, which I believe is a pre-2000ish model, maybe even mid-90's? I wouldn't mind getting a used barrel too if folks know of a place to get good used barrels.
