[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 81110, member: 704"] I can't remember which gun I bought first a lever action Marlin 22 or my 870, but both were in 1971. I did cut the barrel down to 23 inches and threaded it for chokes. I got the chokes for $6 on sale, but I picked a type hard to find now. I guess I have six chokes so don't need new ones anyway. They are still readily available at Brownell's. I sometimes shot a little behind on pheasants. Got as many tail feathers as meat to eat. Since cutting it to 23 inches I don't know if it swings better, or I shoot better, but no problem anymore with shooting behind. I plan on an Alaskan trip with our camper and know I can't take a handgun through Canada. I also know they will wet their pants at the border if I try go through with a tactical shotgun, so I bought a new 870 Turkey special. It has only a 21 inch barrel, but unlike the tactical it has a vent rib, and no pistol grip. It should be good to go. [/QUOTE]
