I was looking at a new comfort tech forend for my 20 gauge M2 as the finish is wearing off the original forend. I looked on the Benelli website, Midwest, and Brownells and none show a 20 gauge specific forend. Does the M2 12 and 20 gauge a well as the SBE2 all take the same forend? The outer layer of "finish" has come off of the synthetic forend by the receiver. Should this be a warranty issue? The gun is a bit older but I would not expect the finish to have failed. Pat

Is this the one you are referring to? http://www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/prod/61065

Modify the carrier and ghost a round. Pat

I am leaning towards the RCI offering as it replaces the magazine and has no seam but is a one piece unit. Can anyone find fault or have any downsides to going to a one piece magazine tube (other then price)? Thanks Pat

Has anyone tried or even seen the RCI, Sure Cycle, XRail, or Tac Star extended magazines? Do any of them match the factory finish and do all run well on an M1S90? Thanks Pat

I have a Nordic Components extended magazine for a Benelli M1. Nice quality piece of kit but the finish is not close to the factory. Does anyone make a 9 round magazine that matches or at least comes close to the factory finish? Thanks Pat

Did you have to make any cuts or "custom fit" pieces and parts to the M2 or did the barrel and bolt slide right in and the balance was changing M2 parts on an M2? Thanks Pat

When I was looking for a gun for my teenaged daughter Larry's Sporting Goods (a local top of the line trap and skeet haunt) strongly suggested a Beretta A390 (the 391 was not out yet) in 12 gauge NOT 20. They said the 20 would be lighter and the felt recoil would be greater than the 12 gauge 390 set-up for lighter loads. She shot it for several years with no ill effects. Pat

Is there a down side other than occasionally getting to grow a new thumbnail to getting rid of the fork on the stock Benelli carrier? I would ask AFTER I get the TT carrier Pat

I added my name to the list for a TT 20 gauge M1/2 carrier. Pat

I don't believe Taran Tactical has 20 gauge carriers. C-Rums is exactly right. Thanks Pat

Well since I could not find a 20 gauge modified carrier and Mid West Gunworks had a sale over the weekend, I ordered a new carrier. I have been looking through my notes and can't find the contact information about a guy that does ALOT of the weld ups to get rid of the Benelli fork. Does anyone one here know who I am referring to and have his contact information? Thanks Pat

Has anyone tried the various charging handle options available for the Benelli M1/M2/SBE? Did you like or dislike any of them? Thanks Pat

I was cleaning my Benelli M1 and noticed the charging handle has most all of the bluing worn off and was trying to decide whether to re-blue or get a new non-factory charging handle. Thought I would ask what others are using for a charging handle for: 1) Hunting 2) Tactical Since each has its own unique requirements I thought I would break them out. I am mainly using the gun for hunting but am considering rolling it over to a 3-gun or tactical gun in the off season. A bit of detail on what you do or don't like about your charging handle would be helpful in the decision making process. Thanks Pat

I will need to order more and add my begging to the list for a 20 gauge version Thanks Pat

I was looking at a SBE II and an M2 at Scheels today and it sure looks liek they are either the same size or close. Has anyone tried a TT carrier in a SBE? I am wondering if the TT carrier and be trimmed down to fit a 20 gauge??? Naw, I bet the receiver on the 20 gauge is narrower not just the carrier...danged. Thanks Pat

Perfect. I was going to buy a spare and have it modified to see how it worked. Instead I just placed an order for one of the TTI replacement carriers and a bolt handle. I missed this post until today...great timing. Thanks Pat

Why don't you like Rem Oil? I use it on my Benelli's when the temps get sub freezing with great results so am curious why no love for Rem Oil??? Pat

So is the VM trigger group a direct replacement for a Benelli M4 trigger group? Has anyone tried it? Thanks Pat

Back up to the top to see if anyone has run across a factory 4 round magazine extension for a 20 gauge Benelli M1? Thanks Pat

Oops......For a 20 gauge M1 S90. Thanks Pat

Does anyone have or know when there is or I might find a 20 gauge magazine extension? I was waiting on Mid West Gunworks to get one in but they finally removed them from their website. Does anyone know the part numbers for the extension assembly or where I can find it (no longer on the MWGW website and not on Gunparts website)? I have been trying google to find one but admittedly my search skills are limited. Thanks Pat

Does anyone sell a modified shell lifter for the M1 and SBE as opposed top sending the triger group off for modifications? After watching some 3-gun videos on how to load the M1/M2 what other than the lifter do they modify or is it all just practice? I am not looking to ghost a round etc but keeping most of my thumb does provide some incentive to install a modified lifter. If they are not available for purchase who does "everyone" go to for the modification? Thanks Pat

I was watching some 3-gun videos and am wondering how the heck they speed load an M1/M2 like that. They must have modified something as there is no way I could speed load 2 at a time (and still have my thumb attached) like they were. What is modified, how and by whom? Thanks Pat

I am looking for a 24" or 26" matte barrel with a vent rid for a M1 S90 either an M1 or and M2 barrel. Where is a good place to look? Numrich is out as was Brownells. I would like a good price as well. There use to be a place in the mid-West that had a large stock of Benelli parts for a good price years ago but I don't recall who they were.....ideas? Suggestions appreciated or if someone is looking to sell a 24" or 26" matte barrel and a vent rib I am in the market. Thanks Pat
