I picked up a 870 in 20 ga in an auction but it is missing the barrel. The serial # end in X. There is no prefix letter. I tried to buy a barrel and they do not fit. Which barrels fit this model and is it 2 3/4" and 3"?
Thanks

No, That is not me. But similar issue. I think I got the barrel issue solve thanks to Brownells. But, I am still wondering about the chamber on 3" shells for this receiver.

How did the barrel not fit?

I wouldn't think it mattered which length chamber barrel you buy since that's determined more by the chamber than anything else.

3" would be more universal between the two.

Now I know they're not so ignorant and it's ATRRITION

With suffix N or X the barrel is an old standard weight (12 gauge size receiver). N is the 3" model- the receiver determines the shell length that will function. A 3" barrel will fit, but ejection is unlikely.
What could have happened... did.

Would Love to see a picture of the gun when you get the barrel fixed up on her.
