Title: Forcing cone question?
Post by: reynolds243 on January 01, 2012, 07:29:21 PM
Can you lengthen the forcing cone on a benelli/stoeger? I was told not to due to the chrome barrel. Is that valid? I don't want to mess up my gun but would like to do it.

Rob Roberts does that on a regular basis to the "Custom Shop" Benelli shotguns.

I sent my SBE that I bought in 1994 to Seminole gun works in Fl, 7 day turn around and it really helped my gun as far as pattern and felt recoil, More of a push than a kick.  I was glad I did after years of  thinking you couldn't do a Benelli.      Happy Hunting!

My SBE I was done, and ported. I bought it used that way.

It shoots great.


God Bless,

Shotgun barrels are usually highly polished on the inside, so any blue that was ever there is long gone. Keep it lightly oiled for storage.
