Gravel agency might be worth calling, I’d check S&J as well. Iirc Simon had some shorter rifle sighted 870 barrels recently, be prepared to pay for one when you find one.
I agree. I'd bet there are only a handful of MOD 14'' XS RS bbls floating around Canada. They are not very common up here. IIRC, the last one I saw on the EE - maybe a couple years back - was priced close to $500.00. I'm not sure what it actually sold for but, ..... I wish I would have bought a second one when I had the chance a few years back. I recently tried to import one with another CGN member. The order was cancelled due to US export restrictions.

Another alternative is to buy a 14” bead sighted barrel and Rem rifle sight separately and either attach them yourself or have a smith attach them.
I haven’t shot an 870 with the low profile xs sights but I currently own two barrels with the Rem rifle sights, having a rear sight that’s adjustable for windage and elevation is more important than a low profile version. Especially if you shoot a lot of slugs.

Just an FYI... these barrels have a fixed MOD choke.

Good to know, I haven’t seen one in person. Elevation adjustment is pretty nice to have depending on what poa/poi you’re looking to achieve.
Just to clarify .... the OPs picture shows a Remington barrel with Low Profile Rifle Sights.
Those barrels/sights do not have an elevation adjustment ... except for switching out the rear sight with a lower or higher one.
For windage, the rear sight can be "driven" left or right with a punch ....
Remington barrels with "real" rifle sights (not the Low Profile ones) ... have a rear adjustment for windage and elevation ...

Wowwww .... how did you obtain that barrel?
Yes but, a bunch of companies will likely eventually be getting them so, it's probably not worth the effort. The other issue is availability. With most of Remington's operations shut down due to C19 and these sold out at Remington and most retailers, you probably can't get one right now. Even if you can, it might take months to import it due to the slowdowns and closures. Your best bet might be to try and find an 870P with this barrel already in Canada.
I would try Gravel Agency .... they should now be able to order one.
