I have a 26" VR barrel for my G2 walnut stocked carbine that I got from MGM. Pricey but it does turn the G2 into a pretty neat little bird and small game gun. They also make a 28 guage barrel which should be ballistically even better, but I'm already set up for reloading .410s and am very used to shooting them.
The MGM barrels come in a variety of finishes and are a very handsome addition, as well as useful. With a Winchester "Home Defense" 3" loading of five 000 buckshot, they make a decent "things that go bump in the night" gun, too.
Check your state's overall length requirements for shotguns before you pick a barrel length--some states require a certain length and a 16" barrel won't make the cut. MGM makes them from 18" on up to 26, I think.
Neat gun; neater grouse!
