To be honest, the oem aluminum cast frames weren’t very good either. They had poor quality control and had a lot of impurities and bubbles in the cast molds. When I’d send them for Np3 plating, many would look like Swiss cheese with hundreds of pits. The A&S frames have been a huge step up in terms of functional quality and appearance. I got my first M4 for 1300 bucks in 2004. They go for a lot more now. I’d say the newer production units are better than the old ones. I had so many issues with my first one that it went back to Benelli twice. I broke pistons, I beat the bolt carrier to the point that it was mushroomed around where the pistons hit. It came with that lame neutered receiver extension even though it had a fixed stock. About the only thing left from the original is the receiver.

Contact Benelli customer service. They may be able to provide (sell) the fine-thread part. Or, contact Midwest. They may have the correct part. And for future reference, a pipe wrench isn't a proper gunsmithing tool. Just sayin'. ?

Thanks for the help

That spring looks mangled too.

Carriercomp's muted finish is a bead blasted finish that is silver. It isn't an exact match for the H2O Cerakote model, but it is pretty close. It's close to the original NP3 models as well. There is no source available anymore to plate the titanium magazine tubes in NP3 anymore. That died with Robar. The current plating companies won't touch it even though it works just fine. Socomguy's are excellent steel tubes. I prefer them over the OEM Benelli ones.

I didn't mention above but I am building a trigger with brand new parts rather than using the trigger that came with the gun. This way I know I have a working trigger and can also use it for a reference to make sure my new one is working correctly. Someone asked for the parts I used.
