I learned something new today!

I found out this morning that the hanger is longer on a Benelli USA barrel than an H&K import barrel. It doesn't make any sense, but they are not interchangeable without modifiying or buying a new forend. I just thought someone else might appreciate the info.

retrieverman,

Are you sure that you don't mean that the barrel hanger is different on a SBE II than on a SBE 1. That is a fact I am sure of. Because of that difference, a SBE II forearm will fit EITHER a SBE II or a SBE 1. On the other hand, a SBE 1 forearm will only fit a SBE 1, unless it is modified-----which is a procedure that can be done.

Since all HK import SBE's are the SBE 1 variant,
their forearms will not work with a SBE II type barrel-----unless the forearm is modified.

I forgot to say that my gun is a Super 90, but I will take your word that the SBE's are different also. I still don't see the point in changing the hangers.
