With the introduction of the Made in USA hammer from Carriercomp, there are just enough Made in USA parts to comply when installing the collapsible buttstock. I'm thinking it's four Made in USA parts to get you there: FL mag tube, mag follower, hammer, and handguards. Carriercomp has the first three covered.

i think some people take tacticool to far!
Not necessarily tacticool, just practical. A good reliable laser works wonders for quick target acquisition. Not a whole lot of difference between adding a flashlight and adding a laser.

I never had any function issues with any of my 121 M1s except for the one time I sheared the pin for the recoil link at the rear of the bolt carrier (I had been shooting a lot of slugs and I failed to keep that recoil link pin lubed well - ALWAYS KEEP THAT RECOIL LINK PIN LUBED on the 121!).
Once you learn the simplicity and ease of function of that 121 of yours you will appreciate it a lot more. It was always easy enough to unload the magazine by sticking my index finger in through the loading port and depressing the shell stop to release each individual shell. This very easy technique for unloading the magazine never failed to work for me, ever.
Go out and shoot it with a full magazine, I'm sure it'll be fine. Just make sure you lube it well everywhere it needs to be lubed. The only reason I parted with mine is that it's impossible to find replacement parts for it anymore, otherwise I would have kept it. Someone bought it from me for $750 about a year ago. No doubt Benelli gets frequent calls looking for replacement/spare parts for the discontinued 121, therefore the response you got from Benelli - they want to discourage any more of those inquiries. Years ago CDNN bought their surplus 121 parts, but those are long gone. About the only thing which you can find anymore are the barrel/upper receiver assemblies.
ETA: If I were you and I expected to get a lot of service out of my semi-auto shotgun I would sell it while it still functions and get a newer semi-auto shotty which I could get spare/replacement parts for. Sooner or later something is subject to breaking and then you'll be SOL (the recoil link pin is pretty generic and any competent gunsmith should be able to fix that).

Not the el cheapo Hecho en Chino version, but one of these -

Moot? The WH Press Secretary stated;
" it's possible the review underway at the Justice Department could produce legislation".
They've already shown their hand and said it will be done via an executive order and not by legislation.

Found a tiny image of the 'Benelli button' on a 121 -

One last thing. Go to the range. Pull back the bolt and let it slam home. Put a couple of shells in the magazine. Now, push the cartridge drop lever in. A shell should be sent onto the lift. Rack back the bolt and let it slam home again. You should be loaded. If not, something may be broken. You have already stated when firing your shotgun the cartridge drop lever works just fine. Make sure you are are pushing the cartridge drop lever and not the close bolt button. In 1986, I new of nobody that understood Benelli's and just because you have a "Gun Smith" shingle doesn't mean you're a shotgun man. Seek out the help of an experienced Benelli shooter or Gunsmith.
The 121 M1 does not have a 'cartridge drop lever'. The first time Benelli came out with such a device was on the Super 90, after they discontinued the 121 aka SL80.

Over the past 25 years I've had a total of 3 121 M1 shotguns. I love that model, fast handling, reliable, sweet trigger pull, and of course the 'safety feature' as mentioned.
Years ago there were at least two different manufacturers of a add-on accessory appropriately called a 'Benelli button'. This 'button' was nothing more than a small extension that was fastened to the (bolt release) button on the side of the receiver by tapping it for a small screw. Once installed it merely required a slight forward flick of this button to release a round from the magazine onto the elevator. Then the BCG could be cycled for loading the round into the chamber.
Since there is no longer any demand for these 'Benelli buttons' for the 121 M1 I doubt you're going to find one except already installed on a 121. Perhaps you can get a creative gunsmith to fabricate this very simple device for you.

Sukhoi, you want these?
PM sent.
10 char

I might have a line on a set. Won't know till Monday. If another offer shows up, I'll send them your way Sukhoi.
Many thanks.
-
I'm going to need to get a set too.
-
Does the entire replacement set from Benelli cost more than $25???
-
No offense meant. Sorry if I called your first one a beater. I thought it was okay since you called it a beater but I guess it likes wives and only the husband is entitled to call her names.
I hope you can overlook my transgression.
ya I see a lot of m4s on gunporker but they are all way overpriced and not selling very fast. Perhaps you could list on
www.armlist.com for more of an audiance. Or even go to elite deal seeker and pick one of the sites to post on. I saw a factory model go for 1200 on calgun the other day and one with a mesa stock and kip carrier mag tube go for 1550 about a week ago. (it sold in a day and half if I recall). I think that one was on ar15.com under shotguns.
but strangerdanger gave good advice - if you want to tear it down - and sell the add ons seperate. But remember your playing to a "lets make a deal" crowd mentality. No matter what high prices gunpoker is listing people use it as a guide.
Buds gun shop prices are more realistic -
anyway
good luck with your sale.
That link you posted has absolutely nothing to do with guns in any form or fashion. WTF is up with that???

i heard some place (maybe history channel) that the enemy eventually learned that when they heard the sound of a clip being ejected and hitting the ground that they knew the rifle was empty and would come out from cover and start shooting. but some clever americans also realized this so they would intentionally drop an empty clip on the ground so as to entice the enemy out from cover. this was news to me. anybody else hear this story?
The enbloc clip from the M1 Garand makes the 'ping' when ejected from the rifle every time, not when it hits the ground (maybe on rocks, but definitely not on soft dirt). The rumor is that GIs would attach a Garand enbloc clip to a stick and strike it against a hard object when a shot is fired, thus getting the desired effect upon any nearby enemy troops.
-
I think it would have been wise to make the Urbino with a M4 (rifle) pistol grip, that way you could pick the grip you want, everyone happy.
What would the mechanical fastener securing the pistol grip tap into? On an AR it taps into the receiver itself.
A shotgun has a quite a bit more recoil than an AR especially when shooting slugs/magnum loads.
Sounds like a recipe for failure to me.
-
If you're the only one with access to the gun then why be concerned about having the safety on when the hammer is down on an empty chamber? I would think it's definitely better for your hammer spring to be unloaded when stored.
The safety on my Winchester Model 12 won't engage when uncocked - that's how I know it's unloaded, the safety won't engage.
-
In a genuine sh*t blizzard being concerned with keeping the safety on shouldn't even be a consideration. Under such circumstances 'safety' is strictly a matter deliberate muzzle direction (i.e. kept safely in the line of attack). When nanoseconds count, keep the safety OFF. (naturally this is very bad advice for the untrained/uninitiated however in the real world in the middle of a sh*tstorm it may well mean the difference between the quick and the dead)

Check this out, this information may make you question a few things you've been told.
That Zeitgeist hogwash is propagated by a bunch of Blavatsky loving Satan worshiping scumsuckers.

Considering they regulated the semi-auto Daewoo USAS 12 and the drums for it into DDs I'm surprised they've waited this long to make a move on the Saiga, or even allowed it be imported in the first place.

Was using the heatgun method, however when that wasn't working fast enough my buddy whipped out his propane heater which mounts directly to the LPG tank and uses the tank as its stand. Set it on low, turned it near horizontal and then did the rotiserrie number on the fully stripped receiver for a very short period of time. It was much easier than we thought once we thoroughly saturated it with enough heat.
-
Gonna share something with you from personal experience: when one is very seriously injured one is best served with an autoloader as a pump can and will let you down due to being under stressfire and especially if seriously injured. Add the complications involved in keeping track of twin magazines and you have a recipe for deep kimshee. In theory it sounds wonderful, but in practice the outcome will likely be less than desirable.

I'm not defending Kel-Tec (I've heard plenty of stories about their reliability issues from friends that own them) but I don't understand the argument for 3" shells in a HD/SD shotgun. It's not a hunting gun, so it's most likely only going to see buckshot and slugs (plus less than lethal rounds). But I guess that's just me. I've never even bought 3" shells for my M2 (let alone needed or shot them). My Street Sweeper is only designed for 2 3/4" (aluminum cylinder and barrel) but if 12 rounds of 00 buck won't get the job done, I either need to learn how to shoot better or grab a bigger gun
As I posted, I prefer using 2 3/4" rounds over 3" (for a number of reasons) however if and when in the future sugar turns to sh*t optimally one would benefit from having the capability of using 3" rounds as the gun was designed to handle them should one acquire 3" rounds somehow - rather than be limited to 2 3/4".
How long does it take you to empty all the spent hulls and reload that Street Sweeper to full capacity?

According to the Kel-Tec guy at the Kel-Tec booth at the Shot Show this Kel-Tec shotgun is "designed (only) for 2 3/4" shells to function and feed". Who would want a 'modern' shotgun that's limited to 2 3/4" rounds? (although I prefer not shooting 3" rounds, I like the option just in case) The fact that it only "functions and feeds" reliably with 2 3/4" rounds indicates to me overall reliability issues. For a RELIABLE pump shotty which is limited to 2 3/4" rounds I'll continue to depend on my 18.5" Model 12.
There's another youtube video of this shotgun which shows its less than smooth action, and that's a promo video from Kel-Tec.

And as a bonus you get that awesome Kel-Tec reliability at no extra charge!
Has anyone considered mounting a green laser on their M4?
in Benelli

Thx for the FB. I've screwed around with a green laser a friend had (not a Viridian) in the daylight and that sucker was BRIGHT. If the model I referenced doesn't work out on the M4 then I can always install it on my XD or Glock.
