Tyro, Remington makes/made a LW field model that, for some reason unknown to me, has non-interchangeable bbls with the standard model. This is NOT the light contour bbls also sold.Standard bbls interchange within my 870s, made over 30 years apart.

To the best of my knowledge,the LW (LightWeight) never was made in a deer model.
So, other standard bbls should interchange.
The only thing I don't like on that gun sof yours is the rifling,and for the purposes you've listed,that is not a major concern. However, I'd talk to the dealer and se eif he can supply a different, short bbl. The Youth Express bbl and the non rifled deer bbl should work fine, one's 21" and the other 20".
