Lars Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I've been wanting a M2 for quite a while now and was at Dick's last week. They had a 26" on sale for $799. I figured it was a pretty good deal and bought it. I wish that I could have gotten a 24" though. Now I have to start fixing it up. I would like to still use it for hunting. I was thinking of a Nordic +7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRUBL Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 (edited) Ya done good.....You'll never feel that the 26" is too long for 3 gun. In the 10 or so years that I've been involved with 3 gun, I've seen 1 stage at one match (Blue Ridge 2009) where you may have felt you were at a disadvantage with a longer barrel. And even at that, it really wasn't if you thought ahead. Check our Frequently asked questions section in the dealer tent.....I think +7 should be fine. http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=96651 Tim Nordic Components, Inc.

Adam B Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 that is a smoking good deal, wished I would of see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chills1994 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Let be the first to suggest this: Just kidding... There has got to be a Benelli forums somewhere, where somebody has a shorter barrel that they want to sell or trade for a longer one. Price-wise, it sounds like you did really well. My brand new 1100 Tactical was $600 something dollars. I think. I think it also came with a 21 or 22 inch barrel. And it's just a Remington. I think you can normally expect to pay twice that for a Benelli. The mag extension and the barrel's muzzle are flush with each other. I don't know why, but for some reason a shotgun with a barrel extending beyond an extended mag tube looks silly. But, OTOH, a mag tube extending past the barrel looks cooler. There is a guy here on the forums with the screenname "Trubl" or something like that. He either works for Nordic or is the president of Nordic. He would be the guy to talk to about getting a + whatever shot mag tube that looks right for a 26 inch barrel....if that aesthetic thing kinda appeals to you at all. They also make mag tube to barrel clamps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRUBL Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I work for Nordic......Jarmo would be the owner and President of Nordic. That being said.....see my above post for mag length. And if you have any questions, feel free to contact us. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike_pinto Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 If you do decide to shorten the barrel, Briley does a great job on them and it will come with chokes. You can get the extension and the barrel cut and threaded still for less then most M2's off the shelf. Great find. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share Posted December 7, 2009 My hacksaw is silver, will it still work? If you can't cut strait does it affect the pattern? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxshooter Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I think you will like the 26" also. I have never seen a stage that it would hurt you. I have two shotguns one is 21" and the other is 26". I shoot the 26" 95% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH45 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 There was a time when the bbl. had to be 22" or less for limited/tactical class, but, I'm pretty sure that rule is pretty much gone. I don't ever remember any stages where a 26" would hurt me, but, I remember some where I had trouble with a 14 shot mag tube getting in the way.

djeffers Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 My Dremel is black and blue and I can't cut straight, will that affect my porting on the barrel? Also, how will those ports reduce my fumbelitis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
