Carlson's Barrel for Benelli Nova/Supernova 12 Gauge 3.5" 18.5" with Ramped Front Sight

If you're running a Benelli Nova or Supernova 12-gauge and want to swap barrels for a different shooting situation, the Carlson's 18.5" barrel with ramped front sight gives you a compact, no-frills option built on proven metallurgy. This replacement barrel is forged from certified ordinance-grade 4140 steel with a chrome-lined bore—the same materials you'll find in quality rifle barrels—so it's engineered to handle the pressure and abuse of shotgun use. At 18.5", it's shorter than most defensive and hunting setups, making it nimble in tight spaces or from a vehicle, and the ramped front sight is a straightforward aiming reference without the complexity or expense of a ventilated rib.

The barrel threads directly onto your Nova or Supernova receiver using the Benelli Mobil choke system, so you can dial in your pattern for upland, waterfowl, or tactical work with a quick tube swap. It comes fitted with a Carlson choke tube manufactured from 17-4 stainless steel, giving you a proven starting point; like most Carlson barrels, this one carries a matte finish that resists glare and won't distract your target picture. The 3.5" chamber handles the full range of 12-gauge ammunition, from light field loads to magnum slugs and buckshot.

Carlson's has earned respect in the shotgun community for refusing to cut corners on barrel steel and bore finishing. This isn't a budget compromise—it's a straightforward, reliable swap that costs less than a new shotgun and lets you keep your familiar receiver, trigger group, and stock while radically changing your barrel's personality.
