[Flying out of USA to CANADA w/ stock case?]

Different airlines have different rules. Generally, you have to have a locked case. Get there early and don't forget to declare the gun AND the ammunition.

 

Going to Canada is a whole different ballgame.

[which benelli for defense???]

Luv my good ol' m1s90

[M1 or M2]

M-1

[shoot unfired vintage Benelli???]

It's a 1983, not 1883. SHOOOOOOOOT!

[M2 vs. M1 and hunting with a Tactical Shotgun???]

I don't know a lot about the M2. The M1 is my duty/home defense/vacation/potential dove gun. I don't think an 18.5" is any good for ducks though. As far as coyotes and deer? You'd have to be a pretty good slugger I think.

[Best place to get a pistol grip stock for M1]

Thanks, guys. I should have mentioned that I'd be more comfortable with a factory Benelli. The speed feed doesn't have a sling attachment. Plus, I generally don't trust aftermarket stuff.

[Best place to get a pistol grip stock for M1]

I've searched the forums but I couldn't locate anything. There are a few web sites that sell them for $110 or more. Any help would be appreciated.

[Recoil reducer]

I have a 16.5 inch length of pull. All shotguns used to cause me discomfort. I just threw on a 5 dollar slip on pad and that changed everything for me on my M1. I love to shoot it now. Slugs don't bother me a bit. Have your LOP measured and equip your long gun accordingly.
