    20 gauge 870 question

    I have a old 20 gauge 870 with a non vent rib 29" barrel. I would like to cut the barrel down to 24" or 25" My question is, there a possibility I can get a gunsmith to bore and thread the barrel for a choke?

    Yes.

    But don't have your barrel cut until measurements are made. Many of the older barrels have OD's not concentric with the ID.

      With enough money anything can be done or made

      Are the new 20ga 870's that you can pick up for $280 plus tax threaded?
      Would one of those meet your needs?

        It seems to have quite a think barrel at least compared to my 12 870

          The barrel can be thick, but sometimes the bore is not in the middle of the barrel. One wall may be thicker than the other.

            Now I understand. So with that said I should send it to a gunsmith.

            Any recommendations???

                Got my Barrel back from Steve at Rose Action sports $135 bucks is all it cost to thread and shorten the barrel plus it came with 3 chokes and a choke wrench.
