Default youth shotguns

I was thinking of purchasing a youth 20 gauge shotgun for kids. My question is should I purchase an adult model with say a 24 in. barrell and put a youth stock on it? The reason I ask is the youth models have a 20in. barrell and the thought of a stiff recoil on a new young shooter concerns me. Any input would be a great help! Thanks

go with the longer barrel. they will grow into it. .410 shotguns are also good for the youth starting out.

I saw a shot gun that had an interchangeable barrel one was regular and a shorter I cant remember the measurements but the picture looked like it was a pretty big difference

Use longer barrels. I have 4-10, and that works.
