    Foremost 6870h parts?????

    Friends shotgun.
    Wants to replace the barrel for home defense.
    Looking for a 20" or 18 1/2" barrel.
    Can't seem to find any.
    It's a Savage/Foremost so I'm guessing a Savage 870 barrel would be the same.
    Correct????
    Any ideas?????

    I was mistaken about this shotgun.
    Looks like it's a model 30 Savage.
    Not the same as an 870 Remington.
    Barrel is screwed in, so not easy to replace.
    Made by Savage, marked Foremost, sold by JC Pennys.
    Not much value to it.
    Name etched on the side.
    Choke bored out.
    Uggggggg!!!!

    Cut the barrel to 18 1/2" and you're good to go.

    That will probably be the only option.

    Basically a Savage/Stevens 67. You won't hurt it a bit by shortening the barrel. If you don't snickety-snack the action like you mean it EVERY time- this action can tie itself up.
    People have brought many of these over for "fixing" through the years.
    Your "870" typo was wishful thinking....
