Rebarrelling a Benelli M2

yggorf · November 21, 2011, 10:55 PM

Is putting a new barrel on a Benelli M2 shotgun as easy as taking one barrel off and putting on another (shorter) one? I have heard some talk of the Benelli actions being "tuned" to the barrel length, so am not sure if putting on a shorter barrel will result in reliability issues.

yes it is as easy as taking the barrel off and putting the new on one. the actions are not tuned for the barrels. Benelli is well known for the ability to change 99% of the parts with no fitting required due to the tight tolerances in which they are machined.

swap away with no worries.
