Left Hand 870 Barrel

[gord1986]

Hi CGN, its been a while!

I am posting this for a buddy of mine who is a lefty. I am wondering if any fellow gunnutzers can help me track down a short(under 20") barrel that will fit a left handed remington 870 receiver.

If anyone knows of a gun shop or an individual who may have one for sale please comment on PM me

Cheers!

I don’t think they make them, as a southpaw any LH 870 barrels I’ve seen are always 28” vent ribs. So it’s possible to have one cut down to 18”-18.5” but it’s doubtful you’re going to find any factory offerings.

Thanks for the response. Is it legal to cut it down to 18.5"?

Yes

Yes, 18.5” is the shortest you yourself can cut a barrel, a manufactured barrel can be shorter provided the overall length is not under 26”. This only applies to manual action shotguns and not semi autos.

Dlask offers a left hand barrel in 8.5".

Nice to have the option, the only downside is it won’t lock down on a standard LH 870 receiver. That is not without shortening the mag tube.

18” is the shortest you can cut a barrel for a pump. 18.5” for semi-auto.

18” for a pump and 18.5 semi interesting info
