Fanatic

Ultimately I'm hoping someone here can point me in the rightdirection as far as who would be the best source/person within thiscompany to answers a few questionsregarding the technology and features of the Benelli lineup. If there are those in the know how that visit this forum,awesome, I'd love to hear your thoughts. I'd like to think I have a few validquestions. I've owned a M1 for years and absolutely love the gun so letme say tat so no one thinks I am a Benelli hater. I have been sitting back the past years - holding off frombuying my next one as I keep hoping they will look into what I'm about to ask. If there is anything I have heard from those that don't usea Benelli as there autoloader choice, it either seems to have to do with theinfamous "click" of the bolt not being seated fully or that theydon't cycle the light 7/8 oz loads reliably day in and day out. When I look at the Ethos, I see that both of these"issues" have been admitted to and fixed. In the case of the click,the Ethos has a detent mechanism in the bolt known as the easy locking system,making this out of battery click basically impossible. In the case of the light7/8 oz loads, the Ethos has an UPDATED DYNAMIC inertia driven system which improvesspeed, RELIABILITY, and the ABILITY to cycle the light 7/8 oz shells. Soooo, why on earth wouldn't these 2 designs be used on theother guns? In the case of the detent, on the M2, SBE, Vinci and Super Vinciand in the case of the updated dynamic inertia driven system, used on the M2and SBE? What am I not understanding? Why continue to use the old inertia driven system if an UPDATED system exists? And why not put this detent on all the guns???

Does anyone know who would stock/sell this? How do these reduce recoil and by how much? Thanks!!

Does noone from Benelli read these forums? Obviously this is somewhat of a question that requires some actual technical know how and one would think this would be the place to find them.... Thanks for any help!!

Hi guys, Hoping someone here can be of some help. I am trying to drop my stock on my M1. The gun came with the C shim and locking plate installed at factory. It also came with an A and B in the case. With my luck, the C is too high and I need to go to a D. I have found out there indeed was a D made. I spoke with a guy at Benelli today (telling him this was for a M1) and he gave me the following part #'s (shim and locking plate). 60443 and 60257. He suggested I call Brownells. When I gave the above part numbers to the lady she crossed them over to the Brownell's part numbers. 301000372 (shim) and 301000369 (locking plate). It seemed too good to be true when she told me she had both in stock. I told her I'd have to call her back from home as I was at work and didn't have my credit card. So I get home and decide to check their website by searching the part numbers she gave me. The shim number - comes up as in stock alright but says that one is for the SBE II. Its description says "drop shim, D, Right hand" Now heres the kicker. They also show/list a drop change shim, 64mm, right hand. Their part number is 301000361. This one says it fits the super 90 montefeltro and has been discontinued ( no stock). So, can anyone please tell me which of the 2 is the one I am needing for a M1? THANKS VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE!!!

So there is a D. I must admit though, I still don't know how to tell if my M1 fits too low or too high. When I bring it up, only the bottom 1/2 of the pad hits my shoulder, the top 1/2 is over and above my shoulder. ???

Forgive my silly question but how do I tell if my gun is too low or too high. It came with the "C" factory installed and the manual calls to go down a letter if its too low. Since it only comes with A, B, and C, I am assuming it must now be too low because if it were too high, I'd have to go to D (in which there is none (or even mention of D in the manual). Thanks in advance!!
