Thinking about setting up an 870 youth 21" or an Jr. Compact 18.5". Y'all have any experience with tricking out such a short barrel? Concerned that Jr compact stock might be a little too small on the butt stock
I trick out my youth 870 / 21 in barrel with Trulock 565 non-ported for a good all around choke and the surshot stock.. i like the 21 in. barrel better because it will cut down on the recoil just a little more than the 18 in barrel. Your going to want to change out the stock anyway after a little time using one..Also with the 21 in. barrel after screw in choke your going to gain another inch or so...I top mine off with a simmons pro diamond scope in low power..
The 21" has a lot of proven chokes and loads and seems short enough. :z-twocents:

I have the 21" barrel and I really like it.
I also have 18.5" 12 gauges that I really like.

Fair enough! That's probably the gun I will go with for my lightweight 20 project
I have two 21's and one 18.5. They are great for growing into for kids
Well it's for myself, not a kid lol but I guess being 5'10" kinda makes me kid like lol
