222blr16ga 870 is it different than the 12ga?
I was given an older wingmaster in 16 ga with a plain barrel...there is a slight dent in the bl midway down...was wondering if the reciever was the same as the 12ga, and if I could put a 12 ga brl on it?....bob

222blrwell I just realized that the mag tube would be different even if the 12 ga barrel went on....but Id still like to know if it does go on...seems the prices for 16 ga brls is awful high...like twic ethe price of a whole gun!......Bob

DLM222blr,
A gunsmith can raise the dent, making it shootable again, for much less than a new barrel would cost. Probably $30 or $40. I sure would look into that before I did anything else.
