Does anyone know of a company that is able to convert a standard M4 Barrel into an Entry barrel? My understanding is that it requires more than just a barrel chop. I’ve found a few companies that used to offer the service but they all appear to be out of business now. I know it would be simpler to just buy a factory 14” Barrel, but those seem to be impossible to find right now too.
Also, this is exactly what Benelli does for the M4 Entry, anyway. They ship them into the US full-length and cut them after they're Stateside. You really wouldn't be gaining anything by going "factory".

Are you sure? What about the front sight and ring that goes around the mag tube ? Do they solder these back on after cutting the barrel then refinish the barrel. Also the chrome lining can be damaged when cutting the barrel.

The M4 Entry barrels are brought into the USA at >18” but with the front sight and mag tube ring already positioned for the Entry length (note the fatter section of barrel under the front sight). The barrels are cut & crowned once inside the USA. Something to do with regulations on importing <18” shotgun barrels makes it easier to “make” vs “import”
