Are these 12.5" barrels?

Thanks for answering Cagemonkey. I am still curious about why the front of the barrel is like the way it is, it doesn't appear to be a choke or muzzle device of some kind. On closer look, it appears it is the same shotgun in the same configuration pictured two up.

It's the bayonet mount that was made for the 870's a million years ago. They are collectors items now if you can find one. I'll see if I can find a referance picture which is clearer.

Dustin,

If I remember correctly (those pics where taken in 03') they were 12.5". I've got a 10" with my Rem 870 MCS and slide assembly is shorter. (currently running a 14", fixed stock and 2 rd extension for 3+2+1). Since those were standard slide assemblies it should be a 12.5".

Got to the range today and ran some 00 buck thru the 870 MCS, modified Rem choke, 14" and +2 shot extension.

From some training Tom Given and I did for the USMC High Risk Personnel Training Cadre:

I went through HRP back in 1994. One of the best weeks ever on the range! When we worked on transition drills from the shotgun to pistol without the nijafied slings and they said drop the shotgun, we all instinctively bent over and gently put it on the ground. Then we did drills consisting of firing a round and then just letting go and letting it drop.
