What short home defense barrel will fit my 870 Wingmaster 12 ga shotgun? I looked at the for sale stuff and some say will only fit original 870???? Is 18" the shortest legal length and can I get a cheap hunting barrel and cut the end off?

    Yes, 18" is the shortest legal length barrel you can have. You dont need to cut down a hunting barrel, just buy an 18" "riot" length barrel.

    18" is the length of most 870's used by law enforcement. You should have no trouble locating one.

    You can get Remington and Mossberg barrels that will work just fine depending on how old your 870 is. There was a few early 870s that had 20 ga guns built on 12 ga frames, in that era you might have to check the barrel shank length.
