    I have a Benelli M1S90 14" entry gun for home protection. I would like to replace the forend with a Surefire integrated light. I have heard stuff like the new style Surefire forend lights will not fit the older guns but I wasn't sure if the older style lights will fit the newer guns (S/N 104500 and up.) I am not really wild about the new Surefire forend light. It seems kind of bulky for the 14" entry guns, that's why I seek an older style unit.

    I have one of the newer Surefire forend integrated light on my M1 Entry amd love it! It is definitely NOT bulky at all. "Try it, you like it!"

    SigsRus - Actually it isn't a G36 but an HK SL8-1. It is semi-automatic only. It has been SBR'd. Yes, the P226 has been favored by the Teams, however I have different stats about the use of the Mark 23 in the SEAL community. It about a 50/50 split between Team members. My two good friends still prefer the Mark 23 for spec-ops use. Also the Sig P226 is going to be replaced within a year. HK is the front runner with their new HK45. Yes, the Mark 23 is not a concealable weapon, but it wasn't designed for that. My duty weapon is a USP40C. It's alot more concealable than the Mark 23, however it can't match the Mark 23 for pure shooting pleasure. It has a heafty price tag at around $2400.00 new, and when you start adding a KAC suppressor and Insight Technologies LAM, it comes in at $5,000.00. Definitely not for most, and I realize that. 100_1038.jpg 100_1134.jpg

    The HK Mark 23 is THE pistol to have. It is a tack driver! And with the KAC suppressor, you don't even notice the recoil. The tactical is a fine handgun, but it is NOT a Mark 23. I own both and have shot both suppressed and unsuppressed. The HK Mark is in a class all by itself. :D 100_0874.jpg 100_1063.jpg 100_0764.jpg

    Hey, not a problem FN_FAL. Your obviously are a shooter just like me. That's why we are on this board and others I presume. We enjoy Benelli products for their reliability and accuracy. The tax stamp requirement is really not that bad. It costs $200 for the stamp. And the paperwork usually takes 120 days at the most. The office relocated recently, and things got a bit delayed. The people who work at the NFA branch are nice and helpful when you talk to them. My M1 Entry cost $850.00 plus the $200 for the tax stamp. The item that really increased the over-all final price was the Surefire forearm. :eek:

    M2 Tactical - My M1 Entry has a Surefire deticated forearm. Yes, it is not cheap, but quality never is.

    • Fn_FAL :

    • Yes, I am a Federal LEO.

    • No, it is not a class 3 permit , it's a tax stamp that's required for class 3 weapons.

    • One doen't need to be a LEO to legally own class 3 weapons.

    • One just needs to reside in a state that allows these weapons. Unfortunately CA is not one of them.

    • It's not a SOCOM Mark 23 pistol. It's an HK tactical in 40S&W with a B&T Implus II-A suppressor.

    • It's not a G36 either. It's an SL8-1 semi-automatic rifle configured to look like an HK G36K assault rifle.
    • These are personally owned weapons, so I have to comply with ALL laws pertaining to civilian ownership.

    • Yes, you are correct, M2 Tactical can only own a Benelli with an 18" barrel. Unfortunately, I failed to notice his state of residency.
