I just changed out my M1 super 90s barrel to a 26" and didn't have to change my forestock, I use it for action shoots and plan to use it Chukar hunting, I bought a standard mag from Brownells and just put it on tonight, it looks good, they use to ask me at the trap club when I was leaving if I was going to rob a seven eleven on the way home, I now have a short barrel, a 26" and a 28" barrel, I can put my 7 round or my standard mag in minutes, the parts were pricey but I am happy with the gun.

can somebody tell me how to post pictures? web page [ 02-20-2004, 06:17 PM: Message edited by: chukarhunter ]

I haven't tried his yet, I am still waiting for him to take them apart, hopefully that will happen in the next couple of days, and you are right, it would probably only be a few ounces, but I would still like to go as light as possable, do you by any chance know how much a m1 super 90 weighs with a 26" barrel? I have been shooting a Winchester Model 12 featherweight, it was pretty light back when it was made, but I think we have come a long way since the 50's, I am not a weakling or anything, but when you are hunting Chukar, walking up and down those mountains for hours, you want to go as light as possable, you are also packing water for the dogs and lots of other stuff, so you don't really want to be lugging an 8lb shotgun too!!, I was going to buy a new light weight pump just for this reason, then I got the idea to buy a new barrel for the old trusty Benelli, it has always been reliable and seems to be pretty light, I found a 26" barrel on ebay and got it for a couple hundred bucks with all the chokes, now all I need is a short mag, the benelli seems like a pretty tough gun, you could probably drop it off the side of a mountain and it would still work, I am not worried about putting scratches on it, I did that a long time ago. anyway thanks for your help,...

Thanks for the reply, I don't have mine off yet, but it is a 7 round tactical, I think it just unscrews, but not sure, do you know? this is a m1 super 90, I would like to put a standard 4 round mag tube on it and start using it for Chukar hunting, I know you can buy standard mag tubes but don't know if they are alloy or steel. also do you know how much a m1 super 90 weighs with a 26" and a standard mag? any info would help. thanks,...Chukar hunter

does anybody know if you can get a 4 round magazine in alloy, I know that they come in steel, but would like to find one a little lighter. any help would be great! thanks.

I have a M1 super 90 with an extended alloy mag tube on it, I would like to change it to a field mag[ 3 or 4 round ] A friend of mine has a super 90 with an extended mag also, but he can take the end off changing it into a standard mag, but mine is all one piece. does anybody know if the standard mag tubes are steel or alloy? his is steel, but I would like alloy if possable, as I would like to keep this shotgun as light as possable, any info would be greatly appreaciated. Thanks
