AI've got a M2 with the comfortech stock, it has a plastic swivel stud on the bottom. I bought an uncle mike's quick adjust sling and a pair of QD swivels. The swivel doesn't attach well to the stock stud. It looks like the swivel post is two short or something. Can anyone recommend a part number that I could order/buy that they know fits? Actually, they don't have to be Uncle Mike's they can be from anyone.

3. Grasp the old bolt handle, yank it out of the bolt
Sometimes this is hard, many people tie some string around the bolt handle and yank it out with that. It's easier to get a good grip on the other end of the string than to get a good grip on the stock bolt handle.

I'm trying to figure out if the plastic loop on the bottom of the comfortech stock and the wide metal slot at the forend cap are the attachment points for a sling, what slings work with these attachment points, and what other hardware I might need.
I've looked at 3-point slings, but I think just a simple "hunting" sling would be fine. Looking for suggestions on brands and models.

bump? anyone? please?

I've got an M2 tactical with a comfortech stock. It's got the 18.5" barrel rifle sights, not the ghost ring sights, so there's no rear sight on the reciever. The stock has a small loop on the bottom (I'm not talking about the side of the stock where the M3 has a sling mounting point). There is also a metal piece between the forend and the magazine extension which has a slot in it. These both look like sling mounting points. I've been looking at: http://www.spectergear.com/ and http://www.outdoorconnection.com/products/slings/slings.htm
- What slings fit these points? Would these all be two point slings? I've seen "shotgun slings" that have straps arround the stock to provide a rear mounting point. Do I even need that because I've got this little loop on the bottom of the stock?
Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the advice. I shot this for the first time today. I really like this gun :-)
Now, I've always been told to not shoot a slug with a choke installed. But, I'm not supposed to shoot this barrel WITHOUT a choke installed. I assume it's safe to fire a slug with a cylinder choke tube, right?
-
Newbie question:
Is it ok to fire my M2 without any choke tube installed? I'm worried that the shot may damage the threads or something.

Ordered the 26".
We'll see how long it takes to get one hot of the presses from Italy..
-
Ordered on 08/03/06, showed up today. garrett got his as well today. Now, if that 26" Matte black bbl would just show up.

I searched their website, do they generally have things in stock that aren't listed on the website?Originally posted by schitzshuitr:have you cabella

An update:
The part number for M2 Field 26" matte black barrel is 81255. The 28" matte black barrel is 81250. The MSRP is $380. Customer service said they're about 45-60 days backordered .They also said I couldn't order one myself, that I'd have to go thru a dealer.
Anyone know of a place that might have these in stock? None of my local dealers seem to stock the item.
-
I guess I'll call customer service. Serves me right for trying to use the Internet to avoid a phone call.

Looking at the benelli usa website, I see barrels available for various guns, including M2 barrels in 22, 24, and 26". But it appears all these are in "Advantage Timber HD". Can I get them in black?
-
Thanks to all for the pics.
-
Yea, that would help. That's actually what I wanted, my original post was wrong. I've edited it.Originally posted by tucker301:I can show you a LH one if that would help?
It will be later today, however.

Can anyone provide a clear, straight-on picture of the left-handed gel recoil pad?

That's interesting about the magazine tube spring. It'll get excercised MORE than a couple of times a year, I have to practice!
I hear this a lot about pistol magazine springs as well. However, it is my understanding that constant compression on a spring doesn't wear it out, motion does. But having a replacement can't hurt.
-
I am (and my wife is too) used to condition 1 on the pistol, we both practice picking it up and sweeping the safety. I'd prefer to treat the shotgun the same way, having us both practice enough that it becomes muscle memory.
So, I've got nothing to worried about mechanically keeping it condition 1? Are there drop tests performed on long guns? Is there some sort of trigger block that is found in many modern DA/SA semi-auto glock/hk/sig pistols? It's a single action trigger right? That is, I can't really leave it round in the chamber hammer down (I've got a SA/DA pistol).
Thanks for the advice.

Currently, I keep a pistol cocked and locked at my bedside. That is, round in the chamber, hammer cocked, safety on. I've convinced myself that this handgun is safe this way. There is only one other person in the house and she knows how to operate the pistol. We never have others in the house. Guns are locked up when we're not at home.
I'm getting an M2 soon. It's going to be a bedside gun. How do others keep their semi-auto shotguns ready? Is it safe to keep a round in the chamber and the safety on? If not, why? Is the gun not drop safe? Is it easy to get used to chambering a shell in the the m2 with that small lever with practice?

I just got off the phone with customer support. They're catalog lists a hard case as one of the accessories for the M2 tactical (and only 3 choke tubes, so that's right). But, the women I spoke to said Benelii doesn't even have a hard case that fits the M2 tactical. So, they're going to send a soft case.
-
It's an M2 tactical if that matters. I got:
- 3 chokes
- Choke wrench
- Instructions and such
- Red and white Benelli box. No case.
I better call customer support.
-
I was under the impression a new M2 would come with a hard case from Benelli. Mine did not, just a box. Is this right?

I talked to someone from Benelli yesterday, I'll answer my own questions.
It is possible to change the stocks on the M2, but Benelli doesn't currently offer the Comfortech stock for the M2 as a separate part. They may in the future.- I see the modular stock system advertised, but I don't see a comfortech stock available in the catalog. If I buy an M2 tactical with non-pistol synthetic stock, can I swap out for a Comfortech stock? Where would I get one for the m2 tactical?
I'm sure you all know this by know. Benelli won't import them, try TacStar (but I'd still like to find a +2 for the M2 instead of a +3)- I notice the M2 tactical with synthetic stock has a built in +2 magazine extension, but the model with Comfortech does not. Is this extension easily available as an acessory (or is this going down the whole imported parts problem?)
Yes, this works. The left handed buttpad fits the right handed M2 tactical. Benelli doesn't make a left handed M2 tactical and the rep I spoke to said something about not being able to buy a left-handed m2 field and then use a 18.5" barrel with it (it's a "right handed bbl"?!?)- I'm a lefty, but I've shot only right-handed guns without much trouble. I'm wondering if buying a left-handed comfort gel pad will work in the normally right-handed M2 tactical.
Which uncle mike swivel fits M2 comfortech stock?
in Benelli
