I have a used Winchester 1300 20 gauge shotgun I bought for my 2 boys (ages 12 and 14) to learn trap. It has a 14" LOP stock, which is too long. I've fixed that by ordering a youth-sized 12" LOP wooden stock.
The gun also has a short youth-sized 22" barrel. I know this is too short, so I'm looking at replacement Winchester 1300 barrels with vented ribs. I can pick up a 26" VR barrel for $149 or a 28" VR barrel for $179.

If we want to keep our options open for shooting both trap AND skeet, which barrel length would be the best choice, both for my boys using the 12" LOP stock and for me using the 14" LOP stock?
