410 barrels arrived
UPS brought my CSM 410 barrels today. I tried them on the gun. They are just a little long and don't close completely. They will need fitting.
I ordered my barrels a long time ago. When I ordered, I asked that they leave the chokes full/full. They said they'd mark it on the order, but couldn't guarantee it, since the advertised chokes were Mod/IC. They measure .393 in both. I didn't get a bore measurement yet.
The rib matting is the same pattern as a factory repro, albeit lighter impressed. My new barrels weigh 3 lbs 1 7/8 oz vs the originals at 2 lbs 4 1/8 oz, or a 13 3/4 oz increase in weight. My gun comes in at 6 lbs 8 oz with the new barrels with a slight forward balance. While the weight is higher than I wanted, it feels like it will handle much better than the 5 lb 10 oz it weighs as a 28ga.
More later.
