I saw a good deal on an older 870 at a gun shop. It has a 28" barrel and a full choke. It was made in the days before choke tubes, so there is no changing the choke on this. I plan to use this for trap and picking up a 18" barrel for home defense.
Is the existing barrel a good match for trap or is the pattern too tight? The gun isn't a good deal if I need to buy two barrels.
My knowledge of trap guns is minimal, so any help is appreciated. I was also thinking that an 18" barrel with a full choke may work for trap. Am I insane? Well, that's a separate question, so: will the 18" full choke idea work?
