Title: Barrel cut down?
Post by: slave601 on May 01, 2024, 09:13:36 PM
I have a sbe2 with a 28" barrel and I'd like to cut it down and re threaded at 22"s. Who would be the best person to send my barrel off to? Thanks

I had an 11-87 barrel cut down from 28in to 21in and it shoots horrible.I have several factory 21in and they shoot great.It did have to be threaded for tru choke threads so i had to buy different chokes i tried several in it couldn't ever get a decent pattern.I agree id try to find a shorter factory barrel.

I'm struggling with the same thing, can't find a 21" Remchoke 20 gauge barrel. I've gotten several recommendations for Rose Action Sports in Pembroke, KY for a cut and rethread.

I spoke with Mr. Rose about it and emailed him a photo with the dimensions of the barrel. Based on that he's pretty sure it has enough meat to cut/thread for Remchokes. I'm not excited about the possibility of Tru Chokes.

Stuart at Comp n Choke has cut down more Benelli barrels than anyone I know.

He chopped a 24" M2 barrel for me down to 19" and it shoots lights out.

Great guy who does excellent work with great turn around times.

I asked RR last year about cutting a sb2 down to a 22" and they told me no.
