Benelli M2 short barrel

[GJM]

Are 14 inch barrels available for the Benelli M2? I have seen them for the M4, but not the M2. Also have seen complete 14 inch M2 shotguns, but not just a barrel to use via a Form 1. Alternatively, can a 18.5 barrel practically be cut down?

I don't see why there would be an issue cutting down any barrel for an M2 to 14". Other than cost of that barrel

I'd agree. Shouldn't be a problem.

Know anyone place with experience doing this?

18.5 can probably be cut down, but you lose the screw in chokes :)

Not if you have it re threaded. GH

Something to note.......
A 18.5 M2 barrel is heavily contoured to minimize weight. Where the chokes screw in, the barrel has a larger diameter. As the barrel flows back to the receiver, the barrel diameter decreases significantly.
