Hey gents... question for you!

I've got a DA Grizzly box mag/870 18.5" shotgun (actually have 2 but will sell one soon).
I've come to terms that for me, 18.5" is too long for a tactical shotgun (damn giant mantises move so fast!) so I'd like to replace it with either a 12.5", or 15" barrel (my pref is 15", 12.5 seems short).

My question (since I can't just cut the damn thing shorter) is...
Does it make more sense to just buy a 12.5 or 15" Grizzly off the EE, swap all my tactical toys over, and then sell my 18", maybe breaking even on the deal?
Or should I save the time and just buy a 12.5" barrel from CanAmmo for $150 and try and sell the 18" on the EE at a bit of a loss.

Your advice is appreciated, thanks!

You will find the 12.5 barrels have a bead, you have a rear ghost ring sight. We have some 12.5 blade sight barrels that will work with your rear ghost ring sight. Pm for more details.
