870 barrel question

[john37]

So i have a 870 express and wanted to get a longer barrel.
someone offered to sell me his 26" with rib and interchangeable choke.
please know, i'm a complete newb and i have no idea what "bbl" stands for.

will this work with my express?
anything else i should know?

thank you

Scroll down and Look under Classified section...

i got my 28in barrel for $125 shipped, barely Used.. was off a 870 SUPER magnum.. will accept 3 1/2 in ammo, IF i had a SUPER magnum receiver.

i only got a Express Magnum, but still safe to shoot 2 3/4 and 3 in.

bbl is short for barrel and as the previous post wrote the barrel with accept 3 1/2" shells with the magnum receiver and will shoot up to 3" shells with the standard express receiver
