Stoeger M2000 SBS

(1/2) > >>

kruiz:
So here is the story.

I bought an M2000 about 5 years ago and have had some mixed experiences with it. The short version is there is no resale value in them so I figured I would look into making an SBS out of it. I love the feel and the weight and it shoots really smooth ( most of the time) and has no real issues outside of the fact that I need to run 1200+ FPS loads.

This is where the questions start.

1. I know that I want this as short as possible (12-13") but has anyone her actually cut a vent rib barrel down themselves? If so, what is the best way to do it?
2. does anyone have any actual experience with an SBS semi-auto like a Stoeger?
3. given that is an inertia system, does anyone know what the reliability could look like with a 12-13" Barrel.

As always, any assistance or guidance to a resource is appreciated. Additionally, I know that have a smith or machinist would be best, but this is supposed to be a budget DIY build.

Thanks.

That's a tough one. I have zero experience but I'm curious to know how the semi auto would be affected, if at all.

I wonder if someone on the arfcom boards would know the answers or have already done it.

I've cut down a vent rib barrel myself before.  Just took a hacksaw to it and then straightened it up with a file.

Since this is recoil operated I'm guessing barrel length wouldn't affect operation.

kruiz:
I will let you guys know how it turns out.

tstuart34:
See if anyone sbs a m2 I know it's not the exact platform something to Google search.

Also maybe try to cut it down to a 16 inch barrel. See how it functions. You might be able to test things out a bit before you drop the cash for the stamp.
