I have not tried to match shotgun parts such as barrel to receiver but I have a few times regarding rifles. After a few times doing this I have found that I never got my money back out of it because though the gun shot well it was a mix of different numbered parts and nobody wanted it except as possibly a parts gun of their own. My most recent example was a Pre 64 Winchester 70 Featherweight receiver, a standard barrel and a stock I had purchased at a gun show. I had a gunsmith put it all together for me and it consisently shot 3/4 inch groups with handloads. When I needed to sell it nobody cared how it shot, only that the parts were mismatched. I suspect shotguns would be the same. Lots of time and money put into a gun to get it to shoot well only to have a clunker when trying to sell it.
