last time I had them do a barrel for me was about 15 yrs ago, and I think, they charged me 50 bucks, but SURE they are costing more for same work now a days.
USED barrels should also be all over places like Armslist, maybe even Ebay, and other like on line used items web sites,, as there not a FFL required item and can be sold by anyone
a USED barrel might be cheaper too, just look closely at things to make sure they look like they fit the same, if buying in person, take your old barrel with you to match things up, or even whole gun
as if my memory is correct, some of the early 870's has some slight differences in barrels and some didn;t swap into modern one's with screw in chokes on them, , but I could be wrong, its been a LONG time since I played with them older ones(even thought I have a bunch of them, mine are mostly in 16 ga's though from the first 2 yrs they came out!)
It was for those things that you pointed out that I made this thread. I don't want to get something and have it be wrong.
Thanks
