Remington 887 tactical question

[Zippiot]

Will this rifled deer 20" barrel fit onto the standard 887 tactical?

Would be amazing to fire a 3.5" magnum slug through a rifled barrel.....

I guess its kind of silly to swap the barrel on this setup, when you can get it already on the shotgun for less than the tactical system costs. Only downside is it lacks the 2 round extension.

It should BUT I would call Remington for a defiant answer.

Once..... maybe twice.

Barrels should be interchangeable, but it's probably worth a toll free call to Big Green before you shell out the $$$.

It will fit, but you'll have to remove your 2 shot extension every time you change the barrel out. Also, WTF would you want to fire 3.5" slugs for...

I dislike my shoulder where it sits now, maybe a few busted joints will fix it.

I looked through Bass Pro and couldnt find much variety for 3.5 inch shot, mostly Turkey. Just a novel idea to launch a 3.5 slug, only ever used 2-3/4 for pigs before

They're out there, but not a big variety. The majority of 3.5" shells are goose/duck/turkey loads. That's really the only time they're "necessary." Even then it's debatable.

Hhahah. Try some high velocity 3 inch stuff first. My shoulder hasn't talked to me in weeks!

[Zippiot]

I dont have any infront of me to reference, but how much larger is the brass section of the shell of a 3.5 vs a 3 or 2.75? IE how much more powder can it hold?

A google picture with no explaination is worth 1000 words...

When you abso-fricken-lutely have to destroy something in front of you... like perhaps a T-Rex, or a tweeker Hippopotamus?

Just thinking about 3.5" slugs makes me cringe! But please make a tube video and show us when you do a mag dump.

I'm on a budget, but if someone wants to mail me a box of 3.5" slugs I'll go out and rapid fire them on film for your amusement.

My SX3 is a 3.5" chamber, but I use it mostly for bird & clays shooting. I never have put a slug through it, and usually use 3" shells for waterfowl. 3.5" shells just seem like overkill for anything other than geese or longer range shots on duck.
