I have a pretty well raced out 28" Benelli M1 I love. However, I've decided that for most of my uses I'd prefer a 21" barrel on the gun. I had one that I sold to Benny about a year ago. I'd like to get into another. I'm wondering the best way to do it:
1)Cut the 28" down and thread for chokes. Is this feasible given the chrome lining? Who would do it?
2)Get a 21" M2 barrel. This requires handguard modification, or so I've read. Would I still be able to use M1 barrels after modifying the handguard?
3)Try and find a 21" M1 barrel. This could take who knows how long and also not sure on condition.
I suppose I could also sell the whole gun and buy a new 21" M2, but I'm not sure what the financial crossover would be. Also, unless cutting down the 28" is a viable option, I'd like to sell it to offset the cost of the 21". You think there's much of a market for the 28" barrel only?
Thanks!
TLDR:
