Slug Barrel Question

[gowest]

Is there a difference in slug barrels for a SBE and a SBE 2? Does 1 barrel fit both guns? Also, I thought I once read that an additional forearm was needed with a slug barrel on one or both of these guns....is that true?

I will answer your questions w/statement of what I know.

Newer barrels have a longer mating surface of the magazine ring. This can cause forearm fit problems w/older gun and newer barrel combo, forearm can be modded. The newer barrels have rifle sights. I think the newer barrel will fit stock forearm. The older barrels(marked and made by E R Shaw) do not have rifle sights. They have a thicker wall than newer barrels and require a SBE I slug barrel forearm. The shot barrel(SBE I or SBEII) forearm can be enlarged to fit a old slug barrel.

So Flick since I have the new M2 I should not have to order a new forearm for the barrel I just got, correct?

So, if I purchased a new slug barrel for my SBE 2, would I also need to purchase an additional fore arm? Sorry to be so dense.

No new forearm. The new barrels are same ouitside dia., slug or shot.
