I happen to know a bit about this particular B-80 through my dealer friend. It came in on a trade along with another gun from one of his "regulars" like me! Feeding issues are not at all a problem with this one. The issue was that it's a fixed IC choke and this guy wants a full choke gun. The dealer sent it to Colonial for him to have screw ins installed and Colonial said that it is right at the limit of their comfort level as far as wall thickness is concerned so they chose not to do it. The guy brought in another gun to add to the trade and bought an X2.

I'm fine with an IC choke for what I'd be using it for but I'm also considering having it tubed, I know someone that WILL do it and do it well using thin walls tubes. I have also found NIB barrels available with screw ins which give me another option.
