This has been the case for every standard 870 barrel I've measured, but I haven't had the chance to take apart & measure every version of the 870, and I can only be so accurate deriving measurements from online pictures (thanks to aptly-named barrel distortion). So, I wanted to see if any members here would be willing to measure their barrels and post their results. Data from any 870 would help confirm my findings, but I'm especially interested in numbers for less common 16ga, 28ga, & .410 870s, and models with non-standard magazines like the 870 MCS and Special Field.
I'd also be interested lengths of magazine tubes (as measured from the front face of the receiver), and barrel extensions (the bit that extends backward from the chamber, and fits into the receiver).
