  1. I don't believe in conspiracy theories, and I don't think this is germane to Benelli shotguns. Can I go to one place on the 'net where they're not talking about this whacko?

     

    If you're a gunowner then this affects you whether you like it or not, to think otherwise is extremely naive - imo.

     

    And forget the 'theories' I'm only concerned with the evidence, and in this case there's no shortage of curious evidence.

     

    ETA: And FWIW, only the brainwashed rubes ridicule the term 'conspiracy' - fyi it comes from Latin, 'con' = with and 'spire' = breathe -> conspiracy literally means "to breathe together". If one doesn't think the gungrabbers are conspiring against gunowners then one is either a moron or controlled opposition.

  2. Frankly I don't think it can be accurately and objectively said that any one of the M1, M2, Beretta Extrema 2, or FN/Winchester SX3 is any 'faster' than the other. IMO the distinction is in the recoil, and also I think you will find some Benelli owners on this forum who are convinced the M2 has a faster cyclic rate than the M4.

     

    And fwiw, Beretta owns Benelli.

     

    You didn't show your timer in the video, how'd you conclude it was an ET of 0.7 second?

  3. The buttstock configuration for the 121 M1/SL80/121 is unique to that shotgun and no other Benelli buttstock will directly interchange. On the other hand the S90 M1 plastic foreend can be modified with a Dremel tool to fit the 121/SL80 (relieved where the foreend slips over the receiver). Choate Machine and Tool has made both a plastic field stock and a plastic pistol grip stock specifically for the 121 M1 and may perhaps have either in their inventory. However be advised that these Choate plastic buttstocks are considerably heavier than the original wooden buttstock for the 121 M1 and could possibly affect the reliability of the 121's inertia action.

     

    And FWIW, you can forget about finding any spare parts for that gun, which is why I got rid of mine - as much as I loved it.

  4. Supply and demand, Economics 101. Supply was UP a couple of years ago and the price temporarily fell to ~$250. You're whining about $600, 4 years ago the c-stocks were selling for $800-900 on gunjoker.

  5. And some people are incapable of answering a simple question with a clear answer, apparently.

     

    What was not clear and succinct about my responses???

     

    You have three options and only three options if you want a 'cheek weld' when using a low mount optic on the Benelli M4 -

     

    1) Install a factory c-stock and utilize the middle position

    2) Get an aftermarket fabric cheek rest which will easily fit your factory fixed stock

    3) Get an Urbino stock with a cheek riser

     

    Then there's the fourth option - Don't be the least bit concerned about a 'cheek weld' on a CQB tactical shotgun.

     

    Is that clear enough??

  6. You don't 'have' to do anything, it's just that the factory c-stock in the middle position works out suitably well for use with a low mount optic. Alternatively, one could put one of those aftermarket fabric cheekrests (like what's available for the M1A) on the factory fixed stock. Or just don't be all that concerned about 'getting a good cheek weld' when using an optic on the M4.

  7. I will refrain from the toothpaste litmus test. I do not think I will ever encounter that.

     

    Every post I have made about the M4 (AR) platform, you have had something snide to say--and that's cool, we all have our preferences. I welcome your criticism of the platform, but I do not think that shoving twinkies in it, or drizzling toothpaste into the action is a realistic criticism. A test can be thought up for every weapon system that will cause a failure.

     

    This mimics mud well enough for me:

     

    Snide? I don't think so:

     

    Definition of SNIDE

     

    1

    a : false, counterfeit b : practicing deception : dishonest

     

    2

    : unworthy of esteem : low

     

    3

    : slyly disparaging : insinuating

     

    I've always regarded the AR gas impingement as second to none with respect to accuracy, and a ton of fun to shoot on the range. However anyone who thinks the very tight tolerance AR/M4 system is equivalent to any gas piston operated rifle (as originally designed) such as the FAL, the AK, the Sig 550, the SKS, the Daewoo, the AR-180, etc. is only kidding themselves. And with respect to saving one's bacon in the real world in extremis, reliability ranks 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in the list of priorities...IMO.

  8. Twinkies can be a problem.

    There are more rocks outside than twinkies.

    Do you know of a rifle that can function with a rock/pebble jammed in the chamber?

    Should I have bought a knife, or compound bow, instead of a Benelli M4, Arsenal AK, and Noveske N4?

     

    Twinkies mimic mud.

     

    Have you seen the torture test the Swiss put their (piston operated) Sig 550 through? The ARF/M4 wouldn't pass that series of tests for sure - there is no question about it.

     

    Try some toothpaste in the action and let us know how that works out (no problem for piston operated rifles). lol
