Remington 1187 Ported barrel

[FatCatsDad]

Came across a 1187 Premier with an interesting barrel today doing a favour for a friend's relative .

Talk turned too guns and I ended up buying an 1187 Premier with a 30" ported barrel and 4 chokes from the gentleman

Were ported barrels a factory item, were they common or has this been drilled out and reblued

The factory 12 gauge light contour sporting barrels were ported round drilled from the factory. I have a pair of them. Looks like your barrel has possibly been Magna Ported after market and looks to be a standard weight 11.87 barrel not a light contour. My back bored 11.87 30inch trap has the heavy barrel with factory porting the ports are also drilled round like the LC ported barrels.
