870 youth model barrel length?
May 07, 2017, 09:22:35 PM
Im looking to purchase an 870 youth model (20 gauge) for my next project. From looking at them, appears they offer an 18 3/4" barrel and a 21" barrel. Im not too concerned about the LOP difference, as i anticipate adding a Shurshot stock. Anyone have any feedback on the barrel length options? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Get the 21 inch barrel , you don't want the 18 inch... 21 inch will pattern better and less recoil.... If i can help you with anything just message me....chokes you either want a Trulock or Sumtoy in my opinion ....

both will work but the short barrel guns can be picky when it comes to chokes.
Tell us just how dead do you want them to be and we will see if we can get that for you.

Never seen anyone say "Dang I wish I had got the 18 3/4"", but I have seen some say they wish they had got the 21".
William (sumtoy) has spoken. get the 21". Man knows his stuff.
