Remington 870 express synthetic deer gun

[Sharpdogs]

I recently picked up a Remington 870 express synthetic deer gun
http://www.remington.com/firearms/shotguns/870esd.htm

I will be using it for deer hunting this fall, but I would like to get a smooth bore 18 or 20 inch barrel for home defense. Can some one point me in the direction of where I can get one that will match the black finish. I could not find it on the Remington web site.

Cheaperthandirt.com should have the 18" barrel for $80 or so. Mossberg (of all companies) also makes inexpensive 870 barrels (a fully rifled barrel costs as much aftermarket as a new shotgun does from Walmart...).

Check Cabela's too:

Mossberg barrels for Remington shotguns: http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/t...de=XC&parentId=cat20805&parentType=index&rid=

Remington factory replacement barrels:

I got the Remington 20" IC smooth bore with rifle sights from them. Seems like the price was about $120.

Forgot to mention. Some of the Remington barrels at Cabela's are "Express" barrels. That means that they will match the "semi-parkerized" finish on your gun. I suspect (but I'm not exactly sure) that the Mossberg barrels will be blued. Maybe somebody else can help me out here.

I ordered a 20 inch rifle sighted Remington Express barrel from Cabela's a few weeks back. Mine has a beautiful Parkerized finish. Fits well, and shoots well on my old Wingmaster. Finish does not match, but who cares.
