I have a brand new 870 supermag with a 28" pipe. I have read that not all the parts from this gun interchange with the standard 870. I want to put a shorter defence type barrel on it and some other nic-nacs. What parts are/aren't interchangeable and will a standard 870 barrel work on this gun????
 
Yes, a standard 870 barrel will work fine on your supermag. It will however require you to shoot the shorter shells. Most parts interchange with the exception of a few action parts. The forestock also does not allow for the install of a side saddle without cutting.
 
...as stated by tactical, running any 870 barrel on the supermag receiver is no problem. I built mine on an 870 supermag, and when I throw the stock barrel on I can shoot 3.5" shells and shoot skeet. Realize however that you can only fire the length of shells that your chosen barrel is chambered for. All other aftermarket 870 tactical "nick-nacks" will fit. Enjoy your build Brendan.
Here is mine...

Thanks for the kind words Brendan, the fore-end is a Surefire. I still can't believe I paid that kind of money for an accessory, but I must say it has held up well over hundreds of rounds and is a real comfort at night around camp.
I don't know how short you want to go with your barrel but I do see take-off 14" Norinco barrels for sale on the EE once in a while. It is usually badboybeeson I see selling them and he is awesome to deal with. If you are after the standard 18.5" barrel they are always popping up on the EE.
