I have had this 11-87 with a slug barrel around 25 years. Walking my local gun shop, this bird barrel appeared in the back corner of his storage room. He thinks it has been there a long time. We couldn't tell what it was for. He told me to take it home and see if it fits. This was Blythe's in Griffith, you don't see stuff like that anymore. Worth noting the exceptional nature of the place. It fits, but the gun is long. This is a 29.5" barrel. Fixed full choke. Mared for 3" shells. I thought all 11-87's had removable chokes and were marked 2-3/4" or 3". I suspect this is an 1100 barrel for 3" shells but seems like it will work fine. Fits great, cycles without issue. I am comfortable using it and shooting 2-3/4" out of it, but am no expert. Anyone see a safety issue? Only minor difference is where the barrel mounts to the shell tube, but still holds firm. If it came on the gun I would never know any different.
