M1 or M2 are basically the same. I use the Nordic Comp bolt release it works well and won't break the bank. Mag ext tube would be a +7 for a 28" bbl gun. The +7 ext tube is is 17.63" long so it would not be exactly flush with the end of the bbl just a little short. A +8 is 20.28" long and would stick out past the end of the bbl a little. (measured from the end of the forearm) Give me a call or send me an email if I can help.

There are several different bolt release buttons on the market. Briley does have one available for the Benelli cost $45.00 has to be drilled and tapped etc. Nordic makes one for about $15.00 (Alum) your existing bolt release must be drilled and tapped. Arredondo makes one for about $20.00 (plastic) again your existing bolt release must be drilled and tapped. GG&G includes a drilled and tapped bolt catch about $100.00 Progressive machine (alum) goes on with two-sided tape. (not sure they and still in business but shooters connections shows they still have some in stock) $44.00 DMW is a metal bar/plate that is retained by the forend and covers the bolt release button. I have installed them all and they all work. Some I like better that others but that is a personal choice. There are probably several more on the market or you could always make your own. Good luck

email me I have done a bunch jeff at c-rums.com

Nordic, DMW, and Briley all make extended handles for the M1/M2/SBE. I prefer the stock handle works just fine.

WTS a Nordic Components Gift Certificate good for one of each item: mag tube ext, bbl clamp and follower. It is good for and model they offer. See copy of cert below $100.00 Contact me via email at jeff at c-rums dot com

You can also trim out the notch at about a 45 deg angle to the rear of the bolt it is faster and easier than epoxy and you don't have to worry about the epoxy coming out.

Its a real simple mod to the bolt to allow a round on the carrier if you have the newer bolt with 2 notches on the bottom.

I would say it is a pretty fair deal. Check some of the auction sites and see what used M1's are going for I think you will find that is what quite a few used M1's are selling for. Good luck

Don't forget Nordic Components available direct or from Miday USA, Brownells also carries some of the Nordic tubes but not all

Anyone know what the bronze colored coating is on the current shell carrier? (M1 Field)
