    Anyone know the difference between 870 Express and 870 Special Purpose barrels? I am looking to put a vent rib barrel on a 870 special purpose gun that came with a slug barrel, and wonder if I can use the 870 Express vent-rib barrel?

    I checked archived posts and did not find a definitive answer. Will all 870 chamber length barrels fit the Super Magnum receiver? And, will 2 3/4 and 3 inch hulls properly eject from a 3 1/2 inch Super magnum receiver?


    The goal of an acquaintance is to put a 30" "trap barrel" on a Express Super Magnum. He shoots 2 3/4" trap loads. Based on the barrel chart all the 870 barrels should work. I think I've read somewhere the Super Field model uses a different attachment but wasn't sure on on the Super Mag.

    Have a number of 870 and 1100 barrels. Problem is I also have some that have features of both??? The tang on these is about 1 inch,like a 870, but the ring is wide (1 1/2 inch, with gas ports) and rear of ring is 7 1/2 inch from edge of cham. like the 1100.This ring is identical to 1100. I'm guessing that the 1100 has a long tang and a short one, just haven't seen any listed on Gunbroker!!!! Jerry

    I believe the "Special Field" barrels are not interchangeable with the standard 870. The Express and SP barrels should fit.

    I just figured out how to do a search of the posts and see this question has come up dozens of times. Based on previous posts, I think it is a safe bet the express and special purpose barrels are the same. Thanks for the replies.
