Forcing cone?
Forcing cone?
Has anyone lengthened their forcing cone and what were your results. Thought about doing it to my m2
Re: Forcing cone?
mostly it makes you feel better. Maybe a little less felt recoil the subject has been thoroughly covered on the interweb. Yes I have lengthened a few forcing cones. On an m2 it takes a special carbide reamer because the bore is flash chrome plated.It probably wont make anything worse.

Couldn't tell a difference on my M2 20ga. If I had to do over I wouldn't.

Cant tell a difference on my m1 20. Dont think I'll do it on another either.

Made a positive difference on my SBE2 but it hurt my patterns tremendously on my M2 20ga. If I could go back I would not have done it on the 20.

Re: Forcing cone?
IMO,
It totally depends on what you are going to shoot through the shotgun. If you are shooting lead shells, there will be a minimal gain typically lengthening the cone. It helps to keep the lead shot from deforming when passing from the transition, and you may see a slight difference in recoil.
However, if you are shooting any of the tungsten or hevishot varieties, do not do it. It is a waste of time and money because these shot types do not deform like lead, as they are much harder. Just my two cents.......
