So, I ordered a barrel off the EE a few weeks back, got it, cleaned it up, threw it on the gun, and was happy as the proverbial pig in the proverbial solid waste. I was throwing a bit of oil on the gun the other day and noticed two small holes punched in the barrel ring, penetrating straight through to the bore. Initial reaction was a great big WTF. I hit google, and what to my wondering eyes should appear but the 878 automaster, a semi that remington produced for only five years before replacing it with the 1100. Collectors item. woo.
Anyways, what I want to know is if using this barrel with my 870 will cause damage to either my gun or my beautiful, beautiful face. Also, seeing as the 878 is a fairly rare gun, might I be better off selling to an 878 enthusiast (If there is such a thing) and grabbing an actual 870 barrel? As I understand, these are in pretty short supply. Might be worth a bit to an interested party.
Little help?
