  1. Hello-

     

    Anyone else having trouble posting images? , (the manage attachments link states, "I have uploaded a maximum of 1 image" when no pics are attached.

     

    Any advice would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  2. Hey...Thanks for the good news!

     

    Besides the fore-end cap...I am looking for a factory butt-plate...

     

    I'm glad the threading for the fore-end cap is the same...I will still look for a factory 121 replacement but if my hand is forced...I think there would be greater evils than utilizing M1 Super 90 parts in a pinch.

     

    Good for you on the SWEET NIB find...kinda rare...and very under-rated. I think the reason why you don't see so many of the plain & mean M1-121's is that they are still on Police arsenal racks and in prison gun rooms...

     

    I will post pics once she's off the ventilator... (restored)

     

    thanks again....

  3. Hello All:

     

    I realize this might be a long-shot, but before I explore getting the part " one-off " reproduced ( an expensive option ) I thought I'd ask.

     

    I have a Benelli M1-121 ( I know some fellow forum members own and enjoy them...they are cool. ) that I am bringing back to 100% condition ( not very loved by its previous owner...but very worthwile to restore. )

     

    Besides the fact that almost EVERY part of this older model is hard to find...some shop-monkey pulled the often executed but unforgivable crime of putting a pair of pliers to the fore-end cap ( open top variant to accept the longer mag. tube... ) I mean, it is really bunged-up. Unacceptable.

     

    Anyway...I was wondering if anyone knew if the threaded open top fore-end cap for a Benelli M1 super 90 ( the M1-121's 1st cousin... ) would fit and function on the Benelli M1-121.

     

    I figure I would rather have a factory part that fit, albeit from a different vintage.

     

    Thanks in advance for any help or advice...

     

    Also..if anyone knows where to score parts for this model ( M1-121 ) I would be all ears... Brownells & Numrich have a limited selection...but them's the breaks.

     

    Thanks again...

  4. Hello Fellow Benelli Fans:

     

    I know that I'm getting on the train late here, but from what I can gather from previous posts on the topic:

     

    Benelli has stopped importation of factory manufactured magazine ext. tubes due to all or some of the following issues:

     

    1- They have been banned... ( Though I don't know how that is possible if 75 round drum mags for semi-auto AK variants are perfectly legal... )

     

    2- Poor sales... ( Although I don't know how not bringing items into the U.S marketplace...helps a company's sales. )

     

    Please forgive my lay-man's take on all this. Its just...something's real fishy here. It sounds like either selective law making...the worst sort of pick & choose lawyer'ing-up of a situation...OR the poorest marketing plan by a firearms manufacturer.

    If someone in the know can shed some truth on this...I would be very grateful.

  5. Hello All-

     

    Any thoughts, opinions ( Good & Bad ) about the sometimes overlooked...possibly under-appreciated Benelli M3 Super 90?

    Albeit...it is a bit heavier and has a slightly longer barrel in tactical full mag-tube set-up, but its a scattergun that I don't hear much about these days. And I think Benelli USA no longer offers it...Any thoughts fellow 'Nelli fans??

    Thanks in advance for posting/sharing?
