That’s my opinion as well. Is it rifled, slug barrel?

That barrel is for the 870 model #25077 which has longer (6 round) tube than all the millions of other 870 models. The 25077 has only been around for a few years and (AFAIK) it was the only factory model your barrel will fit on. The barrel originally came with a base/bead front sight, someone added a Wilson Combat type Ghost Ring type front sight to your barrel.

Here's an example of the gun

Wow, learn something new every day.  Never knew these existed.

I wonder if you could make it work with a +2 extension.  Although I would think you would still have to attach a magazine cap at the end of the barrel extension somehow to keep it pushed back into the receiver.

I was not aware of this variation of an 870.

Me either.  But it seems pretty typical of 21st-century Remington.  Hey, let's take our shotgun that has a massive aftermarket following and change it so that all of that shit won't work with it! Oh, and still make the magazine tune 1 round shorter than it should be!
