Has anyone ever seen a matted plain barrel on a 17? Or a 31? I just picked up a 1950 870 20g BDL with a 26" matted barrel but have never seen one on any other model despite adds that mention it.



I also have some 17 parts and buy them when I find them. Numerich has quite a few as well.

Most folks don't realize how similar a 31 is to a 17 and how different a 37 is. Common ideas, different guns.
