homeinvader Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Sorry to clog the posts, I thought of another question after I posted the last one... Is it advisable to lengthen the forcing cone on a Benelli M1 Tactical barrel? I know they have thin barrel walls, but at the forcing cone there seems to be a lot of material.

kurtm Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Benellis are chrome lined, I would be VERY hesitant to run a reamer into the barrel. KURTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KURTM <{POST_SNAPBACK}> At the risk of sounding idiotic, why not? Wouldn't reaming it just remove the chrome where the forcing cone is being cut?

benny hill Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 when chrome is cut, it can flake or come loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamGE Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I have cut (lengthened) the forcing cone on my Benelli, and have found no improvement in function or felt recoil worth the job. Keeping pellet deforming down to a minimum is the only reason to think about it, and I think that is only a concern for the long range bird hunters. By the way, the chrome is hard and it is going to be hard on your reamer. But it does cut, and I have had no problems with flaking or peeling of the rest of the barrel.

homeinvader Posted September 22, 2005 Author Share Posted September 22, 2005 Beven, How much did you lengthen it? What reamer did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamGE Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 I have a Clymer Long Forcing Cone reamer which cuts the cone taper about 1 3/4" in length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
