benelli question??

[billiam13]

I have a super black eagle that shoots very nice, and I like alot. My problem is that I bought the gun used when I was stationed in Italy in the military. I had to buy what I could find and I ended up with a 28 inch barrel, when I wanted a 26 inch. I also got a beautifull walnut stock, and would like synthetic. My question is, should I swap the walnut for synthetic and swap barrels, or just sell the gun I got and get what I want. I already know that I can sell my walnut on ebay and buy synthetic, and about break even, so not out much money there. The problem is the barrel, what to do there? should I try to find someone who wants to swap barrels, or get it gunsmithed, or what? Also if I where to get it smithed is there anything custom that I could get done to it like porting or something that might help the performance? Also if you are wondering why I am wanting a 26 inch so bad, My beretta over and under is a 26, and I am very short so I like the way a 26 swings. Thanks for any help Bill Bell

I got lucky a few months ago and purchased a 26" from a fellow on this site. They can be found, try an offer to exchange with some one who wants a 28". Check www.gunbroker.com by doing a "search". I have seen them there. Best, Robert
