Get on the Midest Gun Works Notify Me list, they have come up twice in the past 6 weeks.

The stocks are identical/direct fit.

Yes If you have intent to purchase the standard size stock at some point I would not wait very long to do this. These parts will be difficult to source years down the road. Purchase the gun with the Compact Stock and then buy the full size stock. The compact stock with hard to source currently and in the future.. Based on the Franchi Affinity 3 compact - the compact stock has not been available for nearly 2 years.

Thank you for the qustions: 1. This is a great option, Rob Roberts uses this on some of there custom guns as well as past generation of SBE 3 out of the performance shop. All hardware included: $30.00, the smallest screw in the packet is the correct size for that hole. 2. This image has been shown many times by many authors on other forums as well. Truely does not matter who's barrel it is, my appology for not framing this up better. Most SBE 1-3 as well as M2's make simo contact with the barrel stop ring and the back of the reciever. I happen to own a SBE 3 Performance Center that has a small gap as well. Shoots very a nice pattern and was sent with the computerized pattern from Rob Roberts. You could purchase another barrel stop ring, remove yours and fit it as described. 3. Thank you for sending the Browning spec, seems similar to Benelli & Rob Roberts & SKB. One of the challenges the industry faces is there are very few standards one of which is shotgun patterning. Typically Benelli Itally patterns at 21 metres. I prefer this as well, it is easier to set the center of the bead to the prescribed Point Of Aim. I also like doing this with a full choke. Concentrates more pellets on target and finding the center of point of impact quicker. Ethos Field - as well as the Montifeltro, would probably not be good choices for you. The Montifeltro is a low rib gun, the Ethos is a mid rib gun, both of which require refitting with the quardra fit system. All 828U's, Ethos Fields, Montifeltro for most shooters require fitting. I do these by the hundreds. That what is great about the Quadra fit system, you can fit the gun to the shooter in almost every case.

Clarity: 1. This sight was used on SBE 3" guns for a short time. It is no longer used, thus this part number is not available. Benelli has moved to LPA sights on most models. Recommend Hi Viz Comp Sight previously used on SBE Performance shop guns as well as Browing 828/725 Sporting. Sight Highly recomended, I use these as a sight upgrade to customer guns, Rob Roberts as well. Noting this was explained to you several years ago as well. All needed hardware is included in the kit. Price $30.00 2. The barrel is supported in place by the back of the reciever as well as the barrel stop ring. This should happen simotaniously. I have seen variations of this to a minor extent. The photo's you are using are from 2021, unlikely not to be your gun. there is no verticle movement in barrel with or without contact with the barrel ring. If you have one that you think is out of adjustment, purchase a new barrel stop ring and have it installed as noted. 3. Point of Impact testing should done with the center of the bead, front, in the middle, (On Your Target) the center of the black center. You make it appear that the POA is below the black center. If you do your pellet count noting this, your pattern is 55% high 45% low. Very little of this is important unless your barrel is flat to the target. You have been parrading this information around since 2021. You went on to say you are going on every radio station in the country as say the Benelli SBE 3 shoots high and left. Several people have tried to help you with this. I'm not sure what your point is. You asked about a Montifeltro. This model is a low rib design and would require refitting using the Quadrafit system. The M2 or Ultral Light would be better choices because the fit out of box for most would be favorable. Noting both guns will shoot a 60/40 pattern high if the guns fit you. The gun will shoot where you point it. Most guns that shoot higher than the noted Benelli spec are pointed high, the shooter may not know this - correct drop is vital. Is your rib flat to your eye. Benelli has been using the Barrel stop ring on SBE series guns from day 1 as well as many other models. The new M2 similar. Sub models such as 20 & 28 Gauge SBE 3 guns do not use the barrel stop ring.

The 3 points you called out were: * Front Sight * Barrel Stop Ring * Pellet count Front Sight: the reason they provided you with a larger front sight is to ensure your barrel is flat when you are pointing it. I prefer a mid bead which will assist in this as well. All of this comes together when your shotgun fits you properly - drop. Your eyline will need to be flat to the rib to begin the fitting process with the Benelli Quadra fit system. If your eye is to high you are point the gun much higher that you think, thus YOU are shooting it high. Most shooters require more drop. Most O/U from most companies do not have enough drop for most shooters. Every 828U and Ethos Fields require refitting with the quadrafit system. Some SBE 3's require similar. Barrel Stop Ring: The noted photo is a barrel stop ring which is properly adjusted, your photo does not included the forearm which sits in front of the barrel lug and behind the magazine cap. Pellet count: The pellet count which was shown in your photo is incorrect. The line you placed on the target should be from middle of a 6" circle above the point of aim. With that as a basis your count is about 65% high and 35% low, center ever so slight left. Benelli Patterning Spec noted above. If you plan on moving on from the gun, a Montifeltro field would not be a good choice for you, because of the low rib design. This model would require refitting with the Quadra-Fit system, more specifically more drop. A better choice would be a M2 or a Ultra Light which both have a higher rib and is setup very well out of the box for most shooters. Remembering these models both shoot a 60/40 pattern high when fit properly

You will need to keep a eye on Ebay, they come up now and then. Some are really nice. The wood stock date will be on the part of the stock grip facing the reciever.

Some fitters will increase the hole size in the drop shim plate which will increase the movement from right to left. With that being said it is then difficult to fit the drop shim behing the stock. Some fitters will add another shim to this stack, remembering most of these fitters do not care what the gun looks like at that point, they are only concerned with the fit not the appearance. Personally I would not recomend this approach.

Hi Scott, Why do you think you need a new Firing pin? Are you having "Light Strikes"? Would like to help you with this. I have worked on over 1600 Benelli's, never replaced a firing pin.

Send the barrel to Briley in Texas and have it cut out. Reach out to Briley for details. Mark

The new Montifeltro will shoot a 60/40 pattern if the gun fits you properly. The gun has a low rib, thus it will not fit most shooters right out of the box. You will need to use the Quadra Fit system to put more drop in the gun so you eyeline will be flat with the rib. Here is Benelli's patterning spec as well as some fitting guides. Would very much like to see your pattern provided by Benelli. Remembering your gun shooting where you are pointing it.

Well written Steve. I woluld ad, the challenge fore some would be: Depress the spring below the hole for the pin and reinsert the pin. If this is not done as noted, you will carch the safety spring part 22 and potentally destroy it.

Is there a question in that statement you would like to ask about "Gun Fitting".

This part has been out of stock off and on since Covid, best to get on Midwest Gun Works - "Notify Me" list when one becomes available. Midwest Gun Works has all of Benelli's small parts, they are first priority when parts become available. The gun is safe to shoot, the bolt assemble is being held in place by the modular stock. When it is installed properly. Part Number 60873

The bolt held back by the Breech Bolt Latch. It makes contact with the bottom side of the breech bolt. Your trigger pack/carrier latch/drop shell lever all need to work in harmony to have this work as it should. I have seen, triggeer packs out of spec, drop shell lever holes drilled out of spec, bent drop shell levers, carrier latches, carrier spring plunger, carrier spring all have a effect on the issues you are having.

I did send gun to Rob roberts to have a slammer button installed - so I’m wondering if something is out of alignment or carrier latch is out of adjustment?? Any help This is your problem, your carrier latch is out of adjustment.

Carrier Latch is out of spec, not enough face contact with shells in magazine. Replace or open RMA and have it "Adjusted"

If it was purchased recently and unfired, take it back to your dealer and get it replaced. If this does not apply, wait until your hunting season is over, open a RMA and sent it bak to Benelli. Again your dealer should help you with this.

Is this what you are looking for? Questions to ask, how was it lost? Did it fall out because there is no D Clip installed to hold it in place. Let me know how I can help.

I am assuming the M2 you purchased is the most recent design? I own one of these as well. The SBE 3 forend will fit without modification, however the design lines do not match up. You can use your current cap as well if you choose that path. This is a fantastic firearm, the Easy Bolt, two piece carrier latch, and the redesigned reciever angle greatly enhances ease of loading. The gun is super flat right out of the box, should fit most shooter without aid of the under appreciated quadra fit system. If I was on the design team, customer acceptance, I may have make a few changes to the forearm design. In Camo these design lines are less noticable. I would have also used the bolt handle from the SBE 3, which IMO looks more favorable and would have saved additional parts in the supply chain. I own most Benelli models and have worked on over 1600 Benelli's. The new M2 maybe the best Benelli ever built.

Patterns from Rob Roberts SBE 3 Benelli Performance shop guns, both patterns reprent very good distribution 55/45 high. Both patterns shot with guns OEM Spec fittings C Drop Shim Plate, C Drop Shim , DX Cast. Most importantly both guns fit very well - flat rib.

Did Benelli send you the patterns when they shot the firearm. My hunch is your eye is moving to far to the right of the rib, you are then "correcting" this by point the barrel to the left. Thus you Benelli is shooting where you are pointing it. I will post a few SBE 3 patterns from the SBE 3 Performance Shop models shot by Rob Roberts. You could try to cast your gun Left Handed which could assist in eye aligment. Most shotguns that do not pattern to spec are fitting issues. Cast & more so drop.

Contact Benelli USA, open up a RMA, the gun has a 10 year warranty.

Hi Chris, welcome to the forum. The new Benelli M2 is a great gun, I did not care for the styling ques on the forum at first either, they perhaps could have done better. However you need to keep in mind the styling needs to represent a world wide exceptance. The SBE 3 forend will fit on the new M2 without modification and the same cap from you M2 could be used.
