Hey guys, me and pal stopped in the local shop today to pick out a shotty for him. He wound up getting a Browning BPS, not sure of the exact model, but it's 12g 3.1/2" 28". He primarily purchased it for HD, but the likely hood of needing it surpasses the ability to actually use it for trap/skeet or wtv. So now were looking to find a nice short barrel for him to throw on it when at home... any suggestions are greatly appreciated as i'm not sure what is compatible. Thanks.

Browning makes a shorter smoothbore barrel (20.5") for turkey hunting, and you can also purchase a 22" deer barrel with rifle sights for shooting slugs. Current deer barrels are rifled. (You may be able to find an older used one that's smoothbore.) There is also a 24" VR barrel. The 3 1/2" chamber will accommodate 3 1/2" shells as well as 3" and 2 3/4". The only caveat is you must use 3 1/2" barrels only on receivers designed for the 3 1/2" shells. The 3" - 2 3/4" barrel will not fit a 3 1/2" receiver. Browning and MGW are two sources for an extra barrel.

Yeah i was reading in the manual that the receiver must use the same shell size as the barrel, thanks for the help, but looks like the options are limited with the 3 1/2 shell size.
