likemhot Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 I recently purchased a used Nova with 24" barrels and the recoil softening system. The gentleman I purchased it from told me he bought it for use in goose pits where he needed the shorter barrel. My question is, does Benelli have a 28" or 30" barrel available. I have been told at several clubs that they are out there but I haven't seen them in Benelli's catalog. would I benefit from getting this longer barrel ported? Quote
tucker301 Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 Porting will make it really loud, but it will reduce muzzle climb. Did you know that the sighting plane on a 24" pump is about the same as it on a 28" o/u? The longer receiver accounts for the difference. With today's modern chokes and propellants, barrel length matters a lot less than it used to. However, if your heart's set on the longer barrel, they can be had. This site shows a 26" nova barrel as an accessory. You may also find them on ebay, gunbroker.com, auctionarms.com, and other such sites from time to time. Quote
Cleric Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 Both 28" and 26" are made. To my knowledge, no 30" barrels are out there. Keep your eye out. It is possible that someone will want to swap for the shorter barrel. Quote
daninjastyle550 Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 the shorte barrel is a disadvantege to lead. but i would get a 32 inch for it so you hit they more often then having 5 feet of lead. Quote

Seriously. One, your post makes little to no sense. Two, Benelli doesn't produce a 32" barrel for the Nova (nor does any aftermarket manufacturer of which I know). In general, your post was a waste of space. If you don't know what you are talking about, leave the subject be (don't see me commenting on much other than the Novas and a little waterfowl). Usually I'm all about helping out those less fortunate in the brain department, but I'm going to have to side with Tucker on this one. [ 11-15-2005, 08:07 AM: Message edited by: Cleric ] Quote
