cheap 18.5in remy 870 barrel?

I want to use my standard 870 express as an HD shotty when I need to. Anybody know where the cheapest place to find an 18.5 in barrel for a remington 870? I know Cabelas has an 18 inch for $120, but doesn't the 18in fall 1/2in short of matching up with a magazine extension? I don't know much about shotties, but I was told 18.5 in is better than the 18 in. Any help would be great.

I have the 870 with 18" barrel from the factory. I also have a 2 shot magazine extension from the factory (for 6+1), they line up perfectly. Hope this helps.

For in the house ranges we are talking distances of what? Less than 15ft? I can't see a half inch mattering.

I have the Remington 18in from Cabelas on mine with the standard magazine tube. If 4 rounds of 00 buckshot don't solve your problems, your problems will solve you.

I Have seen places selling Mossberg Barrels for an 870 for a lot less money ($75 or so). This has put me under the impression a Mossberg 500 barrel will fit a Remington 870 but I won't swear to it.

Mossberg just happens to make aftermarket barrels for the 870. The 500 and 870 barrels DO NOT interchange.

Good to know! Thanks for clearing that up.
18.5" rifle sight barrel for the 870, made by Mossberg for $89.99

Mossberg Modern Shotgun Parts About 1/2 way down the page.

I've ordered Mossberg barrels and choke tubes from them. Good folks to deal with.
Odd that they're make accessories for a competitor's products.

Good business I would say.. They may not have bought the complete shotgun from us, but they might buy some parts for it.

I think I read somewhere the 870 is the most common shotgun in the world. Who wouldn't want to get in on that action?
But do they make an 18" nickle barrel with a changeable choke?
Know where I can get one in the parkerized/matte black finish?

The Remington 18in barrel from Cabelas is parkerized. That is where I got mine.
