If anyone is looking for a Factory Benelli M1 Super 90 14" Law Enforcement barrel, new, unfired, with Ghost Ring Front Sight, drop me an email at [email protected] These are rare and very hard to find!

Josh-L Looks like on my M1, 13.5" barrel (back of chamber to end of barrel) is right at the end of the 1 rnd. mag. extension. Let Rezarf get a measurement and see if that's right (I didn't pull the barrel).

I think my 13.5" barrel is flush with the 1 rnd. mag extension. I'll check and see.

One thing for sure, its harder to get a Benelli to run with a barrel that short. With a Rem. 11-87, you just drill the gas ports until it runs with the ammo you want. A recoil operated set up is a little different. You would have to remove the recoil spring tube and start working with recoil springs to get it to cycle. Got lucky with mine. 13.5" barrel and it will cycle Heavy Dove Loads (so the L.E. Reduced Recoil Buckshot isn't a problem). Can be done, just have to work with it. Don't know about the Magazine Tube.

Ive had barrels cut for SBS. Without threading, you have no choke at all. A factory Police 14" barrel is usually Imporved Cylinder (which seems to work best). If you cut a 24" barrel off (10.5 - 14") you loose all choke. They don't seem to hold a pattern at all. Will not work with L.E. Reduced Recoil Buckshot.

Barrel thickness is why you can't thread for anything like the Rem Chokes. I have one and it is threaded (Tru-Choke) and it works fine. Price was $60.00 if I remember correctly.

I use Steve Rose, Rose Action Sports in Pembroke, KY (gunsmith@roseactionsports). He has cut, crowned and re-threaded barrels for 11-87, 870 and the M1 Super 90 (cut to 13.5"). Choke tubes will have to be Tru-Choke (standard, not Thin Wall) because of the barrel thickness. I couldn't find anyone who had the tooling to rethread for the original choke tubes.
