Benelli Low Recoil Barrels

[ASO544]

Was looking to purchase another barrel but Numrich's seems to be the only one who has them and they are $825 dollars. I did locate a "low recoil barrel" for about $400. Now I only use department ammo which is Winchester 2 3/4 OO Buck (low recoil) and Winchester 2 3/4 1 OZ Slugs which are also low recoil.

 

Would this 4 port low recoil barrel be fine considering the ammo I am using / going to use? It would save me $400 but I would hate to purchase it if there is an issue even firing the low recoil stuff.

 

Thanks,

ASO

I would NOT use it. My M4 2-port cycles 9-pellet win-lite reduced recoil buckshot flawlessly. If I added another 2 ports, it would be SLAMMING that bolt around, much less if I ran something like the 3" OOO Buck my M4 loves through it. I would not buy it.

Apparently these barrels are recalled / considered defective, with possibly the risk of shattering with heavier loads. There is another post on this forum that explains the low recoil barrels in detail. I would search for that. Having read it, I would not recommend getting one at all.
