Silly question on a 870 ...

[Andy54Hawken]

So I was going through my gun safe a found a Remington 870 hiding in the back. ( Forgot I had it )
The barrel has been cut to 18 1/2 inches and has seen some use but no abuse.
The serial # is 339***W.
So far so good ... The issue I have is that the shotgun is in .16 gauge.
Nothing wrong with .16 gauge other than ammo is kinda hard to get.
Is there an easy way to convert this shotgun to .12 or .20 gauge?
Thanks,
Andy

No easy way.

all the internals are gauge specific
16 isn't that bad, it'll do the job

Well ... Darn.
Thanks guys.
I know nothing is wrong with .16 gauge ... just hard to get ammo around here.
Thanks again.

I wish I could find some guns "hiding" in the back of my safe!

Here lately I've payed so little attention to mine it's a wonder they haven't gotten out and caused some sort of mischief.

Sell it buy what you want is the easiest way to convert it to a 12 or 20

Larry , some of my guns are shy ...LOL
Capn Jack , yeah you leave them alone in the dark , never know what will happen, LOL
Mark , yep I think that is what I'll do.
I was trying to make room and I think I'll sell the 870 , a post-64 model 94 and a Winchester 250 , I found in the back of the safe.
