18.5" barrel for 3gun anyone?

randy Thompson · Jul 13, 2015

whats your thoughts on running a 18" barrel for a while on a M2 for 3gun doable with tighter chokes or waste of time? have a lead on a cheap M2 tactical thought abut running the shorty until save up some funds for a longer barrel for it.

it's not ideal but it's definitely been done before

Do it, buy chokes

Buy it, sell it for profit, get a 26"

A friend is the one thinkin about it his account won't let him post. But that's kinda what we were talking about just run tighter chokes and go from there thanks for the replies

What would you guys consider a good price on the M2 tactical with pistol grip

Matt1911 · Jul 14, 2015

Around here, it probably won't sell. Check gunbroker to see what they're going for.

I would wait for a deal on an M2 or M1 that's already been worked over by Accurate Iron, you'll wanna get it done anyway for 3 gun. Might check with him to see if he has one ready to go...ya never know

In open/unlimited class, some of the competitors are using MKA 1919 box fed shotguns successfully. The stock barrel is 19".

With proper chokes and loads, I would think you would be OK.

I have a M2 at accurate iron now getting the full service. My shooting buddy is also wanting to upgrade by don't can't splurge for the all out deal but can pick up a M2 tactical for around 6 bills and was thinking of graving it and running it for now and save up for the rest.
thanks for all of the input
