Check out the Nova...

You may want to call Mann & Sons to see what they can do for you. They may be able to beat that price - 618-357-2911. Not sure if you know this or not but when you buy this barrel, you are also getting the complete bolt assembly to fit with that. Anyway, If you bought the item through a local Cabela's by picking it up you should not have to pay any shipping fees, Benelli covers shipping fees to the dealers. I don't think this is a "specail order" item as it's listed in the catalog, maybe just because they don't normally keep this in stock - not sure.

You can contact Larry's guns for pistol stuff. 207-772-0998 He is the importer for the pistols

Check out the info posted for the Super sport under Firearms... The Benelli SuperSport is the ultimate “speed gun” for sporting clays. Now this is the info on the new Cordoba from the same website... Inspired by the high volume dove shooting found around Cordoba, Argentina, Benelli engineers designed the Cordoba as a lighting fast hunting gun with all the advanced features of a serious sporting clays shotgun. This is probably what you want if you want a gun like the SS that does everything. Check out the infor for yourself... http://www.benelliusa.com/firearms/index.tpl

The weight of the Nova has been at just under 8lbs since manufactured as far as I know. Varrying weights just depends on the barrel & options

I'm sorry Mudhen! Lack of sleep can sometimes screw up the way things are perceived. Not sure what the part number would be. [ 03-22-2005, 03:58 PM: Message edited by: BenelliGirl ]

Just making my experience known.

I've shot the SBE II and have no problem with the recoil. I think its a fine gun! 5'5 130lbs hmmmm! A new choke tube wrench would be warrantied out to you if you would simply pick up the phone and call them with your serial number and address. I don't think they have wronged you in one bit, if you read through these threads you would see that like the saftey issue and the butt pad issue, Benelli has made every effort to correct the problem of the choke wrench as well and get the consumers the corrected product. Remember the Benelli items come from the factory in Italy as they send them and then the people in the corporate and repair offices make every effort to make correct the things that are not. Ok. Yes it should come from the factory with all the correct items but, the human beings that they are do make mistakes and unfortunately these things are.

Do a search on the threads I believe there is an entire thread on this.

Your barrels will interchange just make sure you use the forend that goes with the barrel.

You can contact benelli through [email protected] or go to "contacts" on the website to get your state rep.

The Supersport is not offered in the left hand but the SBE II and the M2 are. If you can not find them available at the store then you may need to ask your dealer to place one on order for you. If you have already bought your gun and are looking for the pad, you can try Mann & Sons to see what cost they would give you on the pad. 618-357-2911 - could be worth it

This is not true. Benelli lists the left and right hand pads at the same cost.

Your Improved Cylinder choke will give you the best pattern with the slugs.

Reloads are not recommended. If anything goes wrong while using them, your warranty is gone.

Call Mann & Sons they will be happy to get you any Benelli Accy. 618-357-2911

greyhoundlover4life- You can call Benelli customer service 301-283-6981. They will assist you with getting a manual and the 2 other choke tubes. You will need your serial number upon calling. You could also have Benelli check out your serial number to see if infact your gun is brand new. But, I would certainly call the dealer you bought the gun from to ask them what happened to the ones that were supposed to be in the box when purchased as new.

You can still send the safety in for a new spring. Contact [email protected] for instuctions.

Call Mann & Sons at 618-357-2911, They will be happy to get one for you.

Adding the silicone adhesive will not void your warranty. You are not making any changes to the function of the firearm, simply making your butt pad more permanent. Using the silicone will make it really simple if the pad for any reason needs to be removed.

Please call customer service if you are having an issue with the pad falling off. They will be happy to assist you. 301-283-6981

Please understand, The M1014 was made as a Limited Edition gun that was not designed to have a collapsable stock. The only model that Benelli USA has that is designed to take the collapsable stock is the M4 model# 11707. To make any changes for each customer would be considered customizing. Benelli USA is not authorized to do any custom work. This is also the reason for the stock being sold as an accessory. For Benelli USA to install the collapsable on a gun that came from the factory without, would also be custom work. The following is a post to the factory's contact page if you would like to contact them even to make a suggestion, you can do so here: http://www.benelli.it/Contatti/

I can suggest trying Federal or Winchester ammo. See if this helps your problem. Sometimes problems occur when using this particular brand.

The 4 shot and 2 shot extensions are available. The SBE II takes the exact same one as the SBE. As well as the 3 shot limiter plug. You will need to contact a parts dealer to get one. Try Mann & Sons at 618-357-2911.
