Hello Everyone,
Just joined and wanted to say hello!!
I awould like to say that my newly acquired Benelli M1014 Commemerative edition brought me to the site after some searching.
I have to say, Ive got little kid syndrome right now, I found this MINT M1014 at a Army Surplus store while out of town in IN on work, I almost **** myself. It has the American flag, Neutered telestock, and true M1014 Barrel.
Asking price $1349, orginal box, warrnaty card, 3 didgit SN, and sling.
IM ECSTATIC!!!!!
I have a Benelli.HK M3T S90 Ive had for a long time and many GREAT times. As soon as the M4 was released I wanted one, and have searched all over for a M1014 at a decent price NIB or MINT with NO LUCK, unitl NOW. This couldnt have been a better day for me.
Another nice edition I have is the Franchi Diamond 12ga OU. I got tired of being razzed by the old timers in Clays and skeet using my M3, so I finally broke down for a OU. Benelli and its family of firearms are awesome, they proudly sit next to the HK's in the room.
I am looking for some opinions on some accesories.
I have seen the US made FL tube on the site for sale, I will be adding this. I will try to get the full collaspsable stock tube also.
I was looking for some suggestions on a Side Saddle, I wont be getting the MESA, so Side Saddle is my only other choice? I would like something that is side only and a view of the SN if possible.
What are my spring choices for the tube?? Which is the CORRECT one and where to look.
What else? I think I am going to add either an Eotech or Aimpoint IF I choose an optic, but I dont think I will anytime soon.
What other options?
Arrendondo bolt release, tactical bolt latch, jumo head safety? IMO, these items arent needed, well, except the ease of the Bolt release.
On to the next ??? What ammo? I see a few threads on this and the M4 with great info, so Im sticking with High Quality 00 & 000, but for Bird and target, what do you think?
Thanks guys in Advance, I will have pics up when I take delivery at the end of the job. I dont want to house it in the Hotel.
