Ok, I need some help from the scattergun whores. This is out of my lane so any help is appreciated.
RE: Benelli M1 Super 90 12 gauge. (original 1986 intro model)
Does anyone in this forum know if there are any shorter (18 to 20"'ish) barrels with choke tubes out there available for this model anymore?
I have not owned a shotgun in 15 or 20 yrs. The only shotgun I owned and ever really liked was a Benelli M1 Super 90 that I paid WAY too much for around 1987 to shoot the SOF International 3 gun comp. Previous trips there with an 870 left my already weak shotgun handling even further behind.
At one point when my son was young I sold off several guns I wish I could have kept including that one. My only rub with that gun was that it did not have choke tubes and the factory barrel was so thin at the front, they could not be installed. The factory barrel shot slugs and buck decent but anything #4 or smaller would pattern the size of a bus at 20 yards seemingly.
I miraculously have been approached by the owner of my original Super 90 and he is willing to part with it.
I may try to get it from him just for sentimental value but I might actually shoot it occasionally if I can get a new barrel per above.
Thanks in advance for the info assist.
