I have a Remington 870 shotgun with an 18 inch cylinder bore barrel. It can be used for skeet and trap shooting, but it is hardly ideal as the pattern generated is too wide to hit the birds at long range. Also, my nearest range won’t permit barrels under 26 inches for their trap/skeet range.

Is it as simple as buying a new barrel online and installing it via the normal fieldstripping/cleaning method? That seems like it would work. Can anyone recommend what kind of chokes I should be looking at, or know good suppliers online?
I have an Express Magnum with a 6 shot shell capacity (I think two shot extension tube) if that makes a difference.

If I wanted to shoot trap, skeet and sporting clays. What would be the best barrel length for a over/ under shotgun.
