Rem 870 LW Magnum

Post by AlH »

Hello:

I have a 20 gauge LW Magnum. If I wanted to purchase another barrel, does it have to be a LW Magnum barrel, or can it be a 20 gauge 3" chamber?

Thanks,
Virginian

It needs to be a LW barrel. It doesn't have to be 3", but it does have to be a LW. All 3" chamber barrels are considered Magnum barrels.
What could have happened... did.

Thanks. One more question.....

I bought this gun used. The serial number begins with a W and ends with a U. The barrel is marked LW Magnum and has a W on the left side at the chamber. It is 28" VR and choked and marked Full.

Can I be reasonbly sure this is the original barrel?

Thanks again,
