This gun comes with a rifled barrel obviously with slugs in mind can I get a smooth bore and hunt turkeys with shot in the spring that will fit in this gun?

so just to confirm are all 870 express barrels interchangeable?
IF you are looking for a true turkey one with the sites and screw in turkey choke the gunshop in new brunswick has a used one listed under barrels for 250 but he will normally take offers.

yes but the 3.5" turkey bbl. interchangable with the receiver but you cannot use 3.5 " shells. The forcing cone inside is correct, just the ejection slot is too narrow. Sounds weird, but this is the case in the Remington turkey/deer combo i bought in 2006.
fyi, i shot a few turkeys so far with 3" shells with zero misses.
Yes you can not use 3.5 shells on a receiver designed for shorter. I think it actually says that on many 3.5 barrels.
"...all 870 Express barrels interchangeable..." Yep. An 870 is an 870.
"...and hunt turkeys..." Buy a barrel with changeable chokes. Doesn't have to be made by Remington either. Cost you less.
As mentioned, no magnums on a standard receiver. Magnum receivers are built heavier.

870 gurus will tell you that magnum receivers are not built heavier but have a different ejector to kick out 3 inch hulls. The 3.5 action is different.
