Help Identifying a Rem 12ga barrel

[Tobyjugg]

Hi Skeet and thanks for getting back to me on this! The barrel is just under 28", I do not have the chokes, and I do not see any markings for Light or Standard Contour Barrel. The barrel is in excellent condition with a very glossy finish and as I stated in my post it has a white front bead and silver middle bead and vent rib. I will try to attach photos and if not successful, can you instruct me on how to post them. Thanks Pete (Tobyjugg)

Not really necessary..What you have is an earlier 12 ga 11-87 barrel. After a few years they went to a light contour bbl to reduce weight to make the gun"feel" like an 1100. 3 inch guns retained the heavy contour but they had a different finish. If ya got it cheap you did good.. Just bought one at a gun show for a hundred bucks w/chokes. Put it on an old 1100 I bought at a yard sale..shoots good. Shot a pheasant or 2 with it. I now have 275 bucks tied up in that gun.

Thanks Skeet! I plan on selling the barrel since I don't have an 11-87 or 1100, what do you think its worth without the chokes? Again it is in excellent condition!!! Pete
