Rem 870 compact jr 18.75 barrel

[Tannersmith96]

Has anyone tried one of the 870 compact jr with the 18.75 barrel? Recently acquired 2 and I plan on building one for myself and building the other to donate or pass along to an eager youngin. I currently have a 21" 870 20 ha I built but the shorter barrel appeals to me. Would love feedback on thoughts or experience

You'll be fine. The difference in barrel length isn't a problem. They just tend to have a bit more recoil and being the barrel is shorter closer to the shooter the sound of the shot is a good bit louder.
