Most Helpful Positive Review Great home defense barrel
Bought the 18.5 inch barrel for close quarters, and it works great. The fit and finish is perfect, and feels very solid. Doesn’t get dirty as easily as my factory barrel, even after putting a little over 100 rounds through it! My only critique is that these shorter barrels sell out fast, and vendors...

Most Helpful Negative Review Does not fit all rem 870
Says it on the websight and the box, "fits all 12 ga. Remington 870" it does NOT fit rem 870 super mag with hardwood stock. Handguard will not fully retract and chamber next round. Do not purchase the 24" fully rifled cantilever barrel for a super mag unless you've altered your gun. 1 star review du...

Perfect Drop-in Replacement

by JerryK, Verified Owner from AL, United States Written on October 15, 2025
I was skeptical about the fit after reading other reviews but decided to chance it. Glad I did because the Carlson barrel was a perfect fit for my 1960's vintage Rem 870. A bonus is that now the gun can also handle 3" shells since it has the longer action bars. Recommend this item and Optics Planet for their fast handling of my order.

Great Finish, Quality Product.

by BS, Verified Owner from OH, United States Written on January 24, 2025
The carlson's barrel is a sligth departure from the usual Remington manufactured version, but it is a high quality device. An even exterior finish exceeds anything found on any Express in my lifetime, and the bore is as mirror bright as any shotgun barrel has been.

I bought mine to make a 'foreign' 870 with the turkish barrel paired with italian WOOX furniture, and I have to say I'm happy with the final result.
Pros:
  • Fit and finish
  • overall quality
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • Any shotgun sport
Would recommend: Yes

Not Rifled, can’t change front sight.

by Disappointed, Verified Owner from CA, United States Written on July 12, 2024
I ordered a rifled barrel. I received a non-rifled barrel with a rifled choke. I already own a rifled choke, I was trying to upgrade, so that was a waste.

The front sight can’t be changed. Cheesy.

Made is Turkey, not US like other Carlsons products.

I feel ripped off for 300 USD
Pros:
  • None
Cons:
  • Not rifled
Best Used for:
  • Front sight cannot be changed
Would recommend: No

Carlson 18” with irons

by Luke Davis, Verified Owner from TX, United States Written on March 25, 2024
This barrel has held up well, it fits my 870 Wingmaster like a glove and has a decent finish. The irons had to be shifted all the way left to zero but it’s on target with slugs. It also fits and holds many different chokes which I tested all the way to full chokes through it so the threads are good and held up as well.
Overall a great barrel if you’re looking for something with iron sights I’d recommend loctite on the screws for the rear sight but other than that this barrel fits and patterns great.
Pros:
  • Affordable
  • Functional
  • fitting
  • adjustable iron sights
  • takes chokes
Cons:
  • rear sight screws coukd be better
Best Used for:
  • hunting
  • PERSONAL DEFENCE
Would recommend: Yes

Good replacement barrel

by AridAnaheim, Verified Owner from CA, United States Written on February 16, 2024
Based off fitment and looks alone the barrel is good. Haven't fired any rounds through it yet, but it's a shotgun. Not looking for tight group shots here. Tacticool points acquired going from long barrel to the 18.5
Pros:
  • Easy to install
  • fitment
Cons:
  • Made in Turkey
Would recommend: Yes

Finally got my barrel

by Blessed, from NY, United States Written on October 6, 2022
I’ve been searching for a shorter barrel for my Remington 870 for a long time. Every company was out of stock for a very long time and I finally found one. The barrel fits perfectly and looks amazing. Thanks
