crazynaclh20 0 Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 Does anyone know who would be able to custom mill a 26" barrel for a shotgun? The kicker is it will need the M4 feed ramps. This is for a UTAS XTR 12. I have built a custom quick change barrel system for my M4 and I'm thinking of doing the same thing for the XTR 12 so I can try my hand at 3 gun and also use it for my skeet shooting. I'm almost positive I will need to send the upper off to ensure the barrel gets properly head spaced for positive bolt lockup. Everyone I've emailed says they only do card shoot barrels.

evlblkwpnz 3,418 Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 Why not chop it back about 1/2" or so, thread it to Saiga 12 spec, and run a barrel extension on it? While you are at it, you could have the barrel extension Rem Choked or whatever you prefer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crazynaclh20 0 Posted July 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 I actually have the barrel threaded for winchoke. I use a winchoke to saiga adapter then run the saiga extension with skeet choke. Doing this causes a lot to happen to the wad and distorts my shot cloud a bit. I'd love to just get the longer barrel made and have the ability to use the same weapon for two sports without all the adapting. I don't mind spending a little extra to get exactly what I want. My last resort is to get a Briley choke custom made to cut things down to only one transition and actually have the ability to run fast porting for wad control.

storm6490 2,768 Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Sonju Aerospace in Montana will build you anything you want but it will be just as expensive to play as it is with your hot rods. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crazynaclh20 0 Posted July 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 I'll have to give them a call today. It looks like they could build the blank and then send it off to get finished by a gun smith. To me its worth it to have the XTR setup differently for various tasks. I have found that both hot rods and guns will make me go broke. That is why I build everything I can. That being said, when I get something planned out it is a relentless pursuit to have it materialize. The 32 Dodge had to get a intake manifold custom sand cast to fit the 4-71 just right on a 4.3 V6. Seems a lot like this shottie in ways. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
