    And now I have a SBS!!!
    If you are referring to my "Yes" answer to your "If I have both of the above can I also have extra barrels (14 to 17.75") for the AOW?" question, you have an SBS only if you attach a barrel with a length less than 18 inches to the standard 870. If you legally own an AOW like described in this thread, having additional 870 barrels whose lengths are less than 18 inches would not constitute material possession, even if you own a standard 870, because you would be the legal owner of an AOW that can effectively have any barrel length.

    In addition to my AOW, I also own an 870P with an 18-inch barrel. I don't have any spare 870 barrels, but even if I did, and even if they were less than 18 inches in length, it is not an issue as long as I don't attach them to the 870P.

    In other words, if confronted about any shotgun barrels that are less than 18 inches, and as long as they are not attached to a firearm, if one can produce a legally-owned firearm to which it can be attached legally, there are no possession issues.

      Spoke with my local range. AOWs are GTG there as long as your paperwork is in order.

        Which choke are you using?
