My questions are, did Remington stamp the serial number on the barrel and did Remington make a 28 inch full barrel or has this been cut down from a 30 inch barrel (which it doesn't look like). The serial number is 21XXX2V. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,

I can't definitively answer the question about the serial number on the barrel (other than if you have one, then I would assume that they did).......but, with regard to the question about the barrel length.......according to the 1968 catalog (the oldest one I have), there were trap grade 870s with 28" full and modified choked barrels, so I would presume they made them available in the earlier years, too.
