Hi Guys,

What is the legal method for measuring a 870 barrel?

Thx

Barrel length is defined as the length from a closed breach face.

Close the bolt and use a cleaning rod or dowel rod, put it in the barrel until it touches the bolt face, mark the rod where it meets the end of the barrel, then measure the rod.

It's always safer to be longer than shorter.
