scott.gwin 0 Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 I shoot a lot of slugs through my 19" BBL with surprising accuracy. 2 3/4" 1oz. Remington Sluggers seem to behave better than anything else. This shotgun has had many modifications: some for reliability and some just for personal preference. Right now it has a Tromix Monster Competition Muzzle Brake on it. The combination of a 19" BBL and that heavy brake makes this weapon very front heavy. For that reason I've considered a few options and all include shortening the gas system and BBL. Here's my question: should I expect the accuracy to change substantially if I shorten it down to where the BBL with the brake permanently attached is still long enough that I don't require a tax stamp? I realize that the gas system may not need shortening with this modification. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ewoketeer 35 Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) Check the NFA Section further down in the Forum. I think it's (subject) covered as far as the legalities are concerned... Edited July 29, 2011 by EWOKETEER Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Strawdawg 1 Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 it will not make significant difference in accuracy. In the cases where barrel length makes a difference, it is generally due to a fall off in the velocity which would affect longer range accuracy more. A small change as you are describing will probably not be noticeable in normal shotgun ranges. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gunfixr 76 Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Last year at NC Recon, a 2 day 3-gun match, I took a FA S12 with a 13" barrel, which had one of Cobras choke adapters on it, with a modified choke tube. One of the stages was 6 shots with slugs at a 5 gal bucket set out at 80 or 90 yds. 3 shots standing, freehand, I got 1 hit. 2 shots kneeling, supported, I got 1 hit. 1 shot prone, I got 1 hit. Sights were AK front, bent metal tab rear on the cover. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
