Savage 301 T barrel

[Spurhunter]

Has anyone had their barrel cut off and rethreaded. I'm wondering if the metal thickness is adequate to do so. I'm thinking about buying one in 20 gauge and cutting 4 or so inches off the barrel. Also, if anyone has a 301 in 20 they'd like to sell send me a PM please.

The barrel is pretty thick and it should be plenty thick enough for cut and re thread…I think the barrel is longer than it needs to be also-which makes it a little muzzle heavy…

Go find my post in turkey gun thread. Stevens makes a 301 compact, not the turkey model. It isn't drilled and tapped, but it's threaded for chokes. I picked up one of these up before the turkey models were released. The barrel is 22" long, versus the turkey that is 26". Mine's not any fancy camo, just black. I drilled and tapped mine for an optic and have been happy with it for what it is.

Single-shot, break-action shotguns remain popular with practical hunters, and the new Stevens 301 gets even more from the trusted platform.

That's an option also. Thanks.

There is more than enough meat. I was going to do mine but sold it instead.

Who/where you get it rethreaded?

Steve Rose @ Rose Action Sports does outstanding work… cut and rethread $125

Rose will do rem and winchoke in 20 gauge. I'm going to send my affinity to him or Preston at iron horse

I've used Michael Orlen twice and been well pleased.

Sumtoy Customs does these. He makes great chokes as well.

Wouldn't use sumtoy for 20. He only threads tru choke in 20.
