I think I might have a good one here. A few months ago, I installed an aftermarket stock on my M4. It attaches by screwing into a plug at the end of the recoil spring tube. Naturally, when installing it, I used some loctite and cranked it down a bit. Last week, I removed said screw to install a new sling plate between the stock and reciever. When I had backed the screw out, the plug (which is threaded into the end of the tube) and the recoil spring itself came out instead! I was left with the screw stuck in the plug with the stock in the middle. Long story short, to separate them, I put some MORE loctite in the recoil tube, screwed the plug in, and let it set. SO, now the plug is back in the tube, the screw is free from the stock, but the spring is still not inside. I need to somehow get it out, get the spring in, and the whole assembly back together. I couldn't find a screwdriver large enough to fit into the two notches, so I tried making one out of a 3/4" chisel. No, it didn't work. I even tried putting a socket and ratchet on the end. It keeps slipping out. Hopefully I didn't damage anything on the Benelli. There's also a but nut holding the whole thing onto the receiver... SO, anyone seen anything like this before? Any ideas? I'm not very mechanically inclined, so any help or guidance would be GREATLY appreciated!

I have an HK45 and love it. Favorite gun I've ever owned. I even outshoot some guys with Glock 19s in IPSC. The trigger will be a little ugly when you first get it, but HK triggers do "break in". The general consensus seems to be that the two big new .45s out are the M&P45 and the HK45. M&P is the best bang for the buck, HK is the more bomb-proof. Both are excellent. I come from more of a Sig background, so I chose the DA/SA one. I'm now in the market for an HK45c for CCW work. HK has started producing the HK45s in the US now. This had a lot of guys scared, but EVERYONE I've heard from either noticed no difference OR the fit and finish on the US models seemed better than the german ones. I can't comment myself as I don't own a US produced one. Yet. You might find this tread of interest. http://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=31077

Benelli has a nice "Find a dealer" function. I'd call your local shops. You could also search gunbroker. If you're talking about model#20160, the going rate seems to be somewhere around $450 new, although I paid $500 for mine recently :-/

Man, that's unfortunate. At first glance, they look like they would... I'd post a link, but since my post count must be over 5, the board won't allow me to.

My first Benelli and my first post on the forum... This is a good day. I bought (and fired) a supernova today and LOVE it. I've been more of an 870 guy in the past, but LOVE everything about the supernova... except the length of pull. It's a little long for me. I have the supernova with pistol grip (#20160). I understand the comfortech stocks come with different inserts to adjust the LOP. I've looked around for something similar for the PG stock to no avail. Anyone have any ideas? I would greatly appreciate any help or direction.
