If you look at your schematic that comes with all shotguns you will see the part numbers are the same, will it work? should if there is clearance i suppose. 013J is benelli part number and it fits majority of shotguns! I am sure there are numerous M4 owners with them already!

I am not Dave, but Dave the M2 12 & 20 Ga both use same part# for safety be it a RT or LT handed shotgun so i would say DMW Oversized safety would have to work! http://www.e-gunparts.com/DisplayAd.asp?chrProductSKU=957090A&chrSuperSKU=957090&MC=

call Benelli CS, free call they might know of someone that has them in stock!

JUST DO NOT CLICK ON ANY IMAGES THEY ARE INFECTED!!

Thanks a lot, the last picture in your last post is "INFECTED" Bloodhound.ex= Bloodhound.exploit.196 Trojan Horse, also? I would get some Antivirus software that was worth more than 10.00 dollars! Surprised Greyloon did not catch this issue. :mad:

If you are not having issues with the chokes you have why worry? Most people that are using aftermarket chokes have patterned them to a specific shot/load to make them shoot better. The main reason is you are not supposed to use steel or hybrid shot thru 2 Benelli chokes, IM & Full tubes that is why everyone has went to something like these! https://shop.primos.com/pc-700-77-dead-zone-waterfowl-choke-tube-12-ga-benelli-sbe-ii-2-pak-decoypass.aspx you can use steel and hybrid shot thru these and might be surprised how they pattern! if ya wanta get them cryo dipped that is not too hard either! http://www.300below.com/cryo-processing/firearms-cryo-barrel.html they will cryo just about anything!

for the price of the barrels and the demand on them no dealer will carry them, Benelli will send you to Man & Son's to order them and just prior to hunting season is probably wrong time to order one. Could get lucky,but Shot Show is coming up also and things just slow down during these times! Here is a bargain http://www.brownells.com/aspx/ns/store/ProductDetail.aspx?p=24320&title=BARREL,%20MATTE%20BLUE

Gloves? with a bit of foam cushion added in the area as tucker mentioned! Sounds like you are not shouldering the gun tightly enough? Is their a problem with shoulder?

http://www.stoegerindustries.com/customer_service/faq.php I think even the extended tubes have these markings Full=I =* IM =II =** M =III =*** IC =IIII =**** C=IIIII =***** they are on the end of the tube plus they should have markings with Astrix also on the outer portion that is down inside the barrel prior to threads!

http://www.e-gunparts.com/DisplayAd.asp?chrProductSKU=1086550&chrSuperSKU=&MC= 289.00+T&S http://www.e-gunparts.com/DisplayAd.asp?chrProductSKU=981680&chrSuperSKU=&MC= 90.00+T&S i would wait till Benelli confirmed they would be the ones that would fit before i special ordered them but Numrich or Mann & Sons are authorized dealers and will be able to special order them. Benelli sends a lotta people to Mann & Sons for parts? 618-357-2911

Sorry to hear that you were not home to surprise them:p Get one of these and bolt it to floor! http://www.amsecusa.com/gun-safes.htm I have a AMSEC and i do not worry about any crack head getting into it and it weighs in around 900 Lbs and does not take corners in house very well at all. Only person that could take it is a safe installer and his BIG buddy! Great ya got some of them back but keep looking you never know where the others could surface! GL

go to sure cycle website it has a detailed instruction on installing their product and i would think installing the Benelli product would be similar!

probably the 3 you did not take outta the plastic bag would not be stock?. mine came with the following per my manual and can't remember which one came installed z=50mm+-1 a=55mm+-1 b=60mm+-1 c=65mm+-1 the could have put any of them in their? dx= right hand sx= left hand so if it came as a rt handed gun the locking plate was for sure a DX the size shim really depends on your gun fit and pattern work! some people even use 2 shims due to shooting high!

ammo that cycles without issues! clean gun per manual? http://www.militec.com/firearms/manual.html if still messed up call Benelli! Foicchi ammo has been known to cause issues!!

after watching the thing go into battery you can tell if it's home! i normally do push the release button but always check to make sure it did not bounce outta battery! sometimes i just check myself by pulling it back a tad and pushing it back to battery! did ya find tuckers tutorial? it goes over everything pretty well!

http://www.militec.com/video/militec.html i do not use CLP because, how can it clean lubricate and protect all at the same time? just seems to me ya wanta a good solvent, good lubricant and proper technique to do the cleaning and lubricating correctly! i still use grease and oil in places but i also use militec! solvents mixed with oil just does not do too much for me! this article above had nothing to do with me using militec, i always use a solvent where needed and always use lint free cloths brushes and picks! Had to qualify for 20 years and always had to clean the dirty weapon, be it a long gun or pistol! If your cleaning is good to go you might wanta change ammo like mentioned and see if it solves your issue and if not get back with Benelli!

search feature works? http://www.benelliusa.com/forum/showpost.php?p=81045&postcount=2 this is more info than you would get from most gunsmiths and probably a much better cleaning job by using tuckers tutorial! http://www.benelliusa.com/customer-service/ try some quality lubrication such as hoppes, militec, never use more than a drop or 2 when oiling things and wipe off excess. do not like CLP it's a 3 in 1 product and it just does not work for me! i use a midas grease in a few places, it's a browning product and works good on slides and at the back of the bolt group where the link hits the reciever. Benellis are particular to crappy ammo so that should fix most of your problem!

Looks like you have invested in a bunch of door busters! Let me guess they are Benelli's with a butt load of junk all over them:p

http://www.e-gunparts.com/product.asp?chrProductSKU=801110 my bad says sold out but i would call and order it cause not many dealers keep stock, lotta stuff has to be back ordered? give these guys a call they might have one? Mann & Sons 1-618-357-2911 benelli Dealer, any of them should be able to order one!

CS might have some things that they could do for ya? sounds like the thing is not locking, allowing it to not be ready for first round to fire. FREE CALL, I would try some different lube in it, i do not like 3 in 1 products too much!

only takes minutes to change shim and try different fit, it's a crap shoot to get pattern where ya want it with so many different chokes and sizes of pellets but YOU will need to come to a happy conclusion that the chokes are good for you!! SBE's are known for shooting high. I would adjust my POA or keep the 20 Ga choke if your math is making you happy? Myself i use the Primos tubes for all my shooting, they did just fine for me on pattern board !

Had to be a variation of the Aristocrat. that's all they made during that time frame! How could it be sold for 165.00 in 1957? http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/EveryGun/GunMfgCategoryDetail.aspx?id=732 I say Aristocrat Magnum? how long is barrel? My suggestions on shooting it would be to take it to a Gunsmith for a cheap opinion before i shot it! It's getting dated like a few others on this forum! http://shop.vendio.com/ggardenour/item/949639397/?s=1221129276 does this look anything like yours?

http://www.farrarsodfarm.com/nelli/USMC_M1014.pdf There is a good cleaning tutorial in this pdf and at least do the barrel and exterior! kudos to tucker301 for manuel!

clean bore and exterior after every outing and would do the complete tear down before season and sight it in to make sure no problems arise from teardown! Plastic wadding will someties accumulate where the crimps open up on inside of bore, i would clean this after every outing!!

Luigi Franchi, guess he would have been the original owner and manufacturer of Franchi Shotguns!
