302w 83 Posted August 1, 2014 I've been perusing Ebay for used 870 barrels and the prices I see are atrocious. Garden variety 26"-28" ventribs off of the base model Express go for $130 or so. If you spend about $100 more you can buy one at Dicks and get a free 870 with it. I really want a second barrel to cut down to 18.5" but the prices of new shotguns are too close to used barrels. So.. what is a "good" price for one of these? I'm talking cheapo, matte blued ventrib stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old School 611 Posted August 2, 2014 Look for a brand new Remington barrel made by Mossberg. They're cheap but not vent rib. I don't like cutting vent rib barrels. Here you go $103 http://www.midwayusa.com/product/242364/remington-barrel-remington-870-12-gauge-3-18-1-2-fixed-improved-cylinder-bead-sight-parkerized?cm_vc=subv1242364 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GRIZ 3,369 Posted August 2, 2014 Good reason to buy another shotgun AFAIC. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scorpio64 5,147 Posted August 2, 2014 I would not pay more than $75 for a used 870 bbl. in very good condition.but why chop a barrel when you can get a brand new 18.5" for $100 to $125 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaiser7 33 Posted August 2, 2014 I've become a bit of an expert recently. The barrels on 870s are surprisingly expensive. Currently it's looking like my Wingmaster build I started in order to save money will end up costing me about $330. I hadn't anticipated how costly used parts would be. But to answer your question, you'll find them starting at $100-$180, depending on length, condition, if it's vented, etc. If you get lucky, an ebay auction might end up closing below $100, but not by much. Best sale price I've seen so far was an auction that went for $75 before shipping. Keep me in the loop with what you find. I'm also looking for an 18.5" barrel.

leadunderpressure 52 Posted August 2, 2014 I've got a beat to crap 26" vent rib and one that's mint. Make me an offer. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
