I own a fixed choke High Tech in 12g, I’d like to know what other model Perazzi barrels
will interchange in 20g. I’m not interested in new
Thanks

I'm pretty sure the answer is zero. BUT call Al at Perazzi USA and he can tell you.

Thanks Sera

MX8 series 4 works, and series 3 with a lug change,,per Pacific Sporting

If you are lucky, the barrels will fit with no modification but be prepared for a trip to the gunsmith for barrel fitting.

You better re-check on this. I do not think the fore-arms will fit. I know the stocks don't inter-change.

Why can’t this be simple, like Krieghoff,,,,

I did a mix and match this morning. The bbls and the forearm off my MX 2000 fit the High Tech perfectly , no binding. The bbls and fore-end off the MX 8 do not fit the High Tech, but it's close and they may be able to be fitted w/ some adjustment.

I cannot see the diff w/ the naked eye.

Over the years I have had some new bbls fit great and others that had to be fitted.

12g to 12g or did you try a 20g ?

Ph--all 12g.

My wife has a 20g (set up on a 12g frame) and I will check it this evening.

Her MX 8 12g came w/ a set of 20g matched weight bbls that have their own fore-end. I'll check these on the High Tech.

My wife's 20g (for 12 frame) fit perfectly on her 12g high tech.

They fit too tightly on mine [12g] but likely can be fitted w/ out much ado.

So what I was told about no interchangeability was not correct. I still think the stocks don't interchange BUT that might be wrong , too. Live and learn.

Any suggestions on where to find a used 20g barrel? I know of the usual suspects,,,,

Sera,
Yes, stocks do not interchange. The high tech receiver is wider than an MX8.

I have a 2000S 12gauge. I bought a set of used 20 ga bbls. and they snapped right on using the original 12 ga. forend.

Been shooting it for years with no issues.

There are a few critical dimensions that have to be very close to nominal for barrels and forends to interchange. With the earlier a Perazzi being mostly hand made, the did not standardize some of the key dimensions until later in production.

If you have barrels and forends that do interchange, it’s because the dimensions are very close to each other. With newer guns, say above 100,000 serial number, barrel interchangeability is much more common, but not always the case.

People ask me about the cost to fit barrels, and the answer is “it depends”. I did one last week that was $250 and another that needed 10 minutes work (Gratis).

I got lucky with a used set of 20 ga bbls. Snapped on my MX2000 12ga.gun. Even the fore end fit with no modifications.

Been shooting it for 4 years now with no issues. love it.
