Short barrel length

[merhunts]

I Have been looking for a semi auto with a short 18 to 20 inch barrel. All I can find in 12 Gauge are cylinder bore. Does anyone know where I can find one with an interchangeable chokes for a 12 Gauge. and also has anyone used barrels of this length for turkey hunting. I can find this barrel with interchangeable chokes in a pump but not a semi auto.

If you find a gun that is cheap enough why not have a "smith" install choke tubes? It isn't that costly.

I believe Remington has put out both 21" and 23" barrels over the years as turkey barrels with choke tubes. I've used the 23" as that's what my 11-87 had and I think the pump guns came with 21" if I'm not mistaken. I did have an Express 870 turkey gun with a short barrel but ain't gonna swear it was 21" it just seems that's what I recall.

How much can I expect?

Probably $80 to $100, may include 1 choke, chokes may be extra. Seems like that's the rate I've seen.  Make some phone calls, it's free.

I called around to gunsmiths in my area and your right. I got quotes from $75 to $110 thanks.

Benelli makes the SBE1 and the M2 with a 21" barrel
