That said, it's actually very nice. Came with a screw in 1/4 (Modified) choke and the finish inside and out is really good. It matches the Duracoated "Remington Black" receiver very well.
And it's a 3" chambered barrel. Hi-Viz fibre optic front bead and a brass middle bead. The top of the rib is finely checkered for its whole length.
Thanks for the heads up

Had a look at Brownells. Any idea's whether a smoothbore rifle sighted Mossberg barrel would fit an 870?

Aye....it'd NOT fit.
Needs to be the specific 870 barrel made by Mossberg.
Watch though as they make two....one is fully rifled so is Section 5.

I did wander as there aren't that many options. Thanks.
