Elitist!........

Hi Keller, I think your price is fine. I'd take it myself if I lived somewhere else besides CA. (Go ahead Skeeter.....Take your shot.....) Later, Hookster

Congrats Maelek!

I wouldn't worry too much, shadow or not, it looks like it's going to burn a hole through your garage door

Hi CJ try these: for course threads http://gunpartscorp.com/catalog/Detail.aspx?pid=840810&catid=10314 or this: http://gunpartscorp.com/catalog/Detail.aspx?pid=740720&catid=10314 Numrich has lots of M3 parts here: http://gunpartscorp.com/catalog/Models.aspx?catid=10331 Later, Hookster

Very Nice Negrin!!! I really like that last view. I'm a fan of the Tango Down grip too. I use one on my LMT MRP to mount the switch pad when I run a light. Later, Hookster

Hey 1811, If you're happy with it then it's not overkill! Actually, I remember someone posted a picture of the same Surefire M80 and light combo. If I remember correctly they were also running an EO Tech too. Found it!!! Later, Hookster

It looks like Negrin is running a Tango Down quick release VFG on that beautiful example of a Benelli SBS

Hi Niklasal and welcome to the forum, The Benelli OEM stocks interchange between the M1 and M3. Mesa Tactical will soon be coming out with their Urbino stock which has a shorter length of pull than the OEM Benelli stock. They will be releasing one version of the Urbino to fit the M1. Although I have not seen them list it as fitting the M3, I suspect that it will, I'd e-mail Mitch at Mesa and ask him. If it will fit, your solution will be close at hand. Hope that helps. Later, Hookster

Congrats on the successful diagnosis and treatment doc

Looks good Fastlane, let us know how you like it Later, Hookster

Hi PH and welcome to the forum, I've never heard of anyone having an issue with a pin walking on them. Anyone else? Later, Hookster

Hi TJ and welcome to the forum Numrich has them here: http://www.gunpartscorp.com/catalog/Detail.aspx?pid=742120&catid=10313 Later, Hookster

Hi Gregor, Have you looked at Nordic Components and Surecycle? They both make nice stuff http://www.cactustactical.com/osc/nordic-components-benelli-sbe-magazine-extensions-p-1169.html http://surecycle.com/store/pc/showsearchresults.asp?keyWord=benelli&resultCnt=100 Later, Hookster

Hi 2WHooligan! I use the excellent Sidearmor rail system to mount my light and switch, Here are a few pics:

Welcome to the forum mknofler and congrats on your new M4. I've seen you before over at M14TFL. Take Care, Hookster

Looks sharp Uno, nicely done sir! Hookster

Here is a copy of Kip's instructions: Tools required; > Heat gun.(Refrain from using flame devices, torches, etc., they are overkill and have the potential of discoloring the finish on the receiver) > Snap ring pliers. >Stiff nylon or brass bristled tooth-brush, Q-tips and acetone. > Rubber grip pad. (Similar to a jar lid gripper, or even a piece of tire inner tube) >Padded vise. (not required but helpful if done alone without an assistant) Before proceeding please ensure the firearm is completely unloaded, clear mag tube and chamber, firearm on safe. Lock the bolt to the rear, then remove the factory barrel nut (by hand), set the barrel, bolt group, and handguards to the side. Using snap ring pliers set to compress when gripped, carefully remove the spring retainer from the end of the factory mag tube, (keep it aimed away from your face, with your other hand over the end so that the spring can be safely contained when it is "set free"). Then tilt the gun downwards, allowing the spring and follower to fall out. Place gun in a lightly clamped padded vise (ensuring the bolt release button is not clamped), between your knees, or in the hands of a competent assistant. Using the heat gun set to a maximum 400 F, apply direct heat to the full circumference of the mag tube where it meets the receiver, allowing heat to reach the receiver as well, continue rotating the heat around the junction until the two are beyond unbearable to touch (using an infra-red thermometer if available, you will typically see results when the receiver temp nears 250F), favor application of heat to the receiver, as it retains heat more efficiently. At that temp (around 250F) you should be able to begin twisting the factory tube off [ccw](here's where the rubber grip pad does double duty as a heat shield, and provides much better grip than bare hands). Do not use a pipe wrench for a few reasons, 1st it will damage your factory tube, but foremost it will provide excessive torque that may allow you to force removal before the loc-tite is ready to let go. Once it starts to turn, the battle is won, just keep it turning until it is free. Next clean the internal threads with acetone, Q-tips, and the nylon or brass tooth brush. It will look scary at 1st since the residue from the factory loc-tite is chalky white, but once you have it all cleaned off, you should be looking at the pristine black anodized receiver threads where the old tube use to be. You are now ready to install your replacement tube. Don't forget to transfer the handguard's stamped steel rear brace onto the new tube BEFORE threading it into the receiver, it is a "captured part" that has to be in place during assembly. Most people opt to fore-go the use of loc-tite, simply torqing in their new tube as tight as can be done by hand. If you use loc-tite, make sure you check the data sheet, and select a grade that can be heated for removal with LOW HEAT like the factory used. Typically just a drop of medium strength Loc-Tite brand "blue" will be sufficient if you use any at all. Replace all the remaining components, and enjoy!! Later, Hookster

Quick!!!....Get more beans!!!! Like Tucker is indicating, I'd sell it and get the right one for your sights. If you hang both a side saddle and red dot on the M1S90 you may run into cycling problems due to the extra weight. Later, Hookster

Hi WT and welcome to the forum! Here ya go... http://gunpartscorp.com/catalog/Detail.aspx?pid=1049630&catid=10311 Later, Hookster

C'mon Skeeter we all know you braided your palm hair into a stylish pink bracelet......

Be careful with that thing SD......You'll go blind

Hi John, I know Stranger Danger has been using the Larue mount on his Sidearmor rail without a problem for quite some time. The KZ and Sidearmor rails have identical proportions/profiles. Here's a comparison pic I took. left to right- KZ-Sidearmor-Benelli OEM top rail I'll be looking forward to some KZ w/T-1 pics! Later, Hookster

Yeah, I'd definitely stick with the powered version of the RMR, not the fiber/tritium Later, Hookster
