Snowman

Don't get me wrong, I love the way it shoots, although I was startled by how hard it kicked compared to my old double barrel the first time I shot it but I'm used to it now. I'm kinda burnt by them advertising the Supernova as an all-purpose shotgun but not selling accessories to make it all purpose. And it seems like all of Benelli's other models are sort of dedicated to hunting, competition, or defense. It's almost like they took time to design the Supernova and all it's accessories and then said "ehhh... nevermind."

Ok, so scratch the telescoping stock, unless Blackhawk decides to make a kit. The stock is really the least of my wants since it came with the pistol grip stock. I know I'm doing a whole bunch of griping, but it burns me up when I buy something that parts & accessories for are nearly impossible to find. I guess it's a case of I bought a pump shotgun made by a company known for their semi-auto models & I should have bought a 500 persueder & gone to Benelli when I decide to buy a semi auto.

A way to order Benelli factory parts. I can get chokes from Carlson's, Beretta, etc. and I'm not really worried about recoil pads because it doesn't kick that hard. I want an 18.5" barrel, telescoping stock, grs w/ tritium inserts, picatinny rail... Basically the parts listed in the spare parts booklet included with the gun to transform it from a hunting shotgun to a tactical home defense piece when hunting season is over. I've been to multiple gun shops including a Benelli authorized service center, and nobody can find the parts I want, or anything else from Benelli for that matter. It seems more and more like Benelli is pretty much saying " oh, you want the accessories that we advertise for your gun? Well, you should have thought about that before you bought the particular model that you have. " From what I've been told, it takes an act of God backed by an act of congress to get them to toy with the idea of possibly thinking about selling a service center the part needed.

I just bought a Supernova & I'm becoming increasingly irritated that I can't find so much as a choke tube from Benelli, let alone barrels, stocks, etc.... So my question is how am I supposed to buy things for my gun that Benelli claims to offer, but nobody appears to sell? Am I overlooking or overthinking how to go about ordering accessories, or do I need to rid myself of a gun that the manufacturer refuses to sell the advertised accessories and buy a Mossberg or a Remington that everyone & their mother makes anything & everything for? Any info/advice is welcome. Thanks.
