Does the serial # on the rifle matches the one on the receipt?

 

Yes it does match, we already established that.

And that remington barrel won't work without modification. 870 barrels aren't directly interchangable with pardners'. Plus I can't see myself spending at least $100 for a barrel for a shotgun i paid $150 for. At this point I'm just going to cut it down even to my mag extension and call it a day.

Well I threw a promag +4 extension on it and let it sit in my closet and looked at it occasionally. I really don't want to cut the barrel so I decided just to cut my losses and im gona put it up for sale. I decided not to contact dicks about it.

"whew"!
