870 Slug Barrel

[257Robt]

Does anyone know if Remington makes a cantilever barrel for the 870 Wingmaster in 20 gauge. If so, where could one get one. All I have found is open sighted barrels so far.

Which will fit the 20 gauge Wingmaster, but has the duller finish. I looked at their website :

I assume you'd have to contact them, or see online if the barrel is available seperately. You might want to check Midsouth Shooters Supply, and see if they stock a Hastings barrel in 20 gauge also to fit that gun. I'd be willing to bet the Hastings Barrel from Midsouth would be less expensive.
*** I checked my 2004 Midsouth catalog, and Hastings makes the barrel for a 20 gauge 870, but lightweight model only, and the lightweight barrel will not interchange with a standard weight 870. Price for the lightweight barrel in the 2004 catalog is 214.36. Hope this helps.
Sincerely,

I should have said this before, but, the 870 I have is an older one. It is the 20 gauge magnum version. Hopefully a barrel will fit it. I looked at the serial numbers and it ends with an N.
