Browning B-80 Barrel

[cpttimerestraint]

I am looking at buying a barrel for my Browning B-80 that is chambered in 3". A lot of what I can find on ebay is slug barrels. I found one 30 inch, 3 inch chamber, full choke barrel on ebay, but it is $235. By the time i get it threaded for chokes, I am going to be at $300 which is how much i paid for the gun. Can you remove the site from a slug barrel and use it as a wing shooting barrel?

Where else should I search for an extra barrel beyond ebay?

Slug barrels are too short for anything you'd want to shoot 3" at other than turkey, in which case the rifle sites would be fine, but the cyl choke would be a negative.

If you purchased it decades ago for $300, what you paid is rather inconsequential in today's money. If you recently purchased it and it's in good or better shape, you got a helluva deal. Either bite the bullet or keep looking for a screw-in choked barrel is my advice. Note a barrel for a Beretta 301,302 and 303 is the same. IIRC so are the AL 1 & 2.

I bought it 4 years ago for $300 from Gander Mountain in good shape. I love the gun which is why i was thinking about buying another barrel for it.

I have an 870 express that is my duck gun and no matter what I do to it, i can't get it tto reliably cycle. Tried the barrel hone, the non-mim extractor, deep cleaning. etc. Trying to figure out other options for the upcoming season.
