Hmmmm..

No forcing cone at all?????

No improvement on a field grade model but they have them on sporting guns????

The 870 does have a forcing cone but a very short one. The answer about the field and sporting guns is contradictory and frankly ridiculous.

There is plenty of barrel to extend should one desire. That's how Vang makes his living.

Maybe Big Green needs a little more knowledge in the answer department. Sheesh.
