My dealer said he has a customer that is looking to sell an M1 with a 14" barrel. It is equipped with ghost rings and is a former police model he bought from his dept. Does anyone know if there is enough meat in the barrel to thread it for chokes?

My brother has the Supernova tactical model and there is not enough metal to thread for chokes. Before I waste my time and his time I thought someone here might be able to give me an informed answer.

You might ask why I want to thread it and I think it might make a decent brush gun for both deer and grouse.

Thanks for any help you guys may provide.

as the full length (18') barrel on the Beneli has a larger OD around the choke area than the rest of the barrel, if the shorty model has the same OD to the end, I'd say there is not enought wall thickness to thread a set of chokes in it.

It'll be too thin.

maybe go 10-11" where there is more meat...
