Benelli Breach/Choke

[QMaze]

On the Benelli Defence website they show a tactical pump with a breach ,does anyone know if can be used on the 14" tactical available in Canada.

That would be nice!!!!!

Yeah after digging a bit deeper, the stock 14" actually is chokeless so this would require aquiring the actual barrel Benelli Defence is displaying. It is pretty cool though. Not a deal breaker.

Bad news. Back to Fab arm. Or the newer Hatsan 14", if it ever comes to Canada.

Not for me anyway, this is going to be my first shotgun so I wanted something of quality and not complicated, functionality wise and Benelli has a good reputation.

I don't think a pump can be complicated. Cluttered maybe.

Tac Ord has a breacher brake - they'll thread the barrel to fit it

What would be your guess on price for that to be done? A few hundred? Just wondering.

As good as Casey at Tac Ord is; I'm not sure the Benelli Supernova barrel is even thick enough for thin-wall chokes... It's one of the thinnest barrels I've seen on a shotgun (fine for such a strong hammer forged barrel) but for the choked Benelli shotguns, they have a bell at the end where the thickness is increased.

Thank so for the heads up. Can a Hatsan be done do you know?? 14" one

Thanks for the info.

Threads outside, doesn't act as a choke.

I see, you would just need a cap for when not in use. Thanks

I actually have the breacher from TacOrd, for my Benelli M4 (with the choke adapter) (I also have the Carlson tactical breacher which i prefer as it's a bit smaller) and I also have the 14" supernova, I'd been looking for a breacher for it for a loong time.

The breacher itself literally slips over the Supernova's barrel, so there is no way you could thread the outside for it.

You could theoretically machine a spacer threaded piece like a giant Heli-coil except solid, but I doubt the barrel OR that piece would be strong enough after completed.

The only thing I could think of, would be to silver solder an un-threaded breacher onto the barrel.

ETA

Some pictures:

Also, the benelli Supernova barrel is: 21mm OD, and the outside of the choke is 19.9mm, so you'd have a 0.55mm (or less depending on how much tolerance the cutter has) of wall thickness if you were to thread the barrel for chokes.

I did have another thought though, if you were dead set on that setup, Casey could probably open up the breacher to a bigger thread size, then silver solder a threaded piece onto and over the barrel. That would retain the strength of the barrel.

I guess the question is; how much do you want to spend on this little adventure?

For all the cool factor, it doesn't make much of a difference when using it as a brake; and it does add a fairly significant amount of weight to the front of the gun (which isn't necessarily a bad thing when you have a 14" lightweight gun chambered for 3.5" supermags )
