Guy's, I have an 870 with a Hastings 30&quot; Wadlock Barrel and the Hastings .665 turkey ext. choke, it is a Custom painted Gun. The gun shoots fine but I seem to be tring to out do it. As I was in to see this fellow that builds Custom Guns and Chokes , I had a 100 different questions for him, one was cutting down the barrel, that maytom bugs me about. To get another barrel I would never match the paint pattern. I would post a photo of it but the canadian Company that owns an online photo web wont let me pay in Canadian funds so I am not a member <img src=icon_smile_dissapprove.gif border=0 align=middle>...BT

I like a shorter barrel for getting around easier and swinging better. Some folks might opt for a longer barrel if you're shooting beads, but barrel length becomes moot when using a scope like I do.

My Rem. used to have a 30in barrel.About 20yrs ago I sent it to Marc Bansner and had it cut down to 21in.It works great for me.
