DA Grizzly

[hermie]

Just bought a used DA Grizzly with the 18.5" bbl. I think it is a smooth bore, what would be involved in changing that to a rifled 870 bbl? Is it possible? I understand the parts are interchangeable. Thanks Karl

Easy take barrel off and put on 870 rifled barrel done deal

Skoal-I am a fairly handy but have never done a barrel switch, is it ok to do myself or should I get a gunsmith? Thanks-Karl

Do it yourself, interchangable barrels. Read the Instruction manual, it will show you how to remove it, then switch to the rifled and read the assembly instructions to put it back together... or just disassemble it in reverse...

Pull the for end half way - 2/3 back unthread the nut holding it to the mag tube then slide the barrel back in and tighten backbto the mag tube

You will be ok doing the swap yourself. Changing a barrel on an 870/Grizzly takes about 45 seconds and no engineering degree. Its not like swapping the barrel on a rifle.
