why ?
he shot one ported. its hard to demo every gun before buying. I doubt that ona first time demo the everge guy would tell the dif between ported or not.
my dad is getting a 12 Ga Legacy sport. should he get it ported? it seems to be a lot, like $400 more for the ported version. is it worth it ?
shooting clays, trap, skeet, throwing our own and a little dove or pheasant hunting now and then.
i think you are right after more google there only seems to be the 18.5 and the 14.5. no other barrel would fit unless it had the M4 gas pistons. it seems the M2 would be better as the double duty gun ?
the stock 18 inch barrel has replaceable choke tubes. you could add the regular stock from brownells. the 18 would be ok for upland birds but probably not ducks and I dont know is there a state law on barrel length for hunting ?.
it seems your question really is - where can i get get a 28 to 30 inch barrel for the M4 ?
long guns must be carried unloaded, no shells in the tube or chamber. handguns must be carried locked/or in the trunk and unloaded ( none in the chamber but you can have a full mag).
