I have a old 870 express that i just got used. It is a 20 gauge and is stamped Magnum on the receiver. It shoots 2 34" and 3" shells. The gun only came with a rifled cantiliver slug barrel. I am going to get a vent rib bird barrel for it.

Does the Magnum stamped on the receiver make any difference in what barrel i will have to get? Or can i just get a standard 870 express 20 gauge barrel?

Please Help!!!!

p.s If anyone has a bird barrel that will fit my gun i will buy it from you for 100 to 120 dollars.
