    Goose Hunting

    in Waterfowling

    Posted

    I am going duck/goose hunting next month for the first time. I am not sure the answer to your question but I would be interested in know the answer as well. I am also in Texas (Houston).

     

    I have a Benelli M3 that I plan to take on the hunt. Right now I only have a 18.5" barrel but I have thought about getting the 26" barrel for hunting. It is just so pricey though. Will I be okay using the 18.5" barrel?

    Having open sights gives you more options and versatility with the gun. My M3 came with a 19.75" barrel with open sights. I can use the gun with a 26" barrel with a fiber optic front bead which doesn't line up with a rear ghost ring sight. A rear GRS would also interfere with a folding stock if I ever wanted to install one.

    How do I become a Benelli Dealer?

    I don't think so. If that were true, that would do nothing but HURT Benelli because not many places would be able or willing to do that.

     

    Well I have noticed that a lot of smaller shops don't carry Benelli so it makes me think there is some truth to that...but I am quoting someone else so the OP should verify directly with Benelli.

    Yes The Collapsible stock is only available to LEO Thru Benelli only, Unless you find it online .

     

    HK, are you still selling the collapsible stocks? Last year you were selling them for $295 shipped. I haven't called Benelli about the adjustment rod. Need to figure out if they will sell that to me.

    Is the SuperNova collapsible stock only available to law enforcement? It's in the 2012 catalog. I ask because I got this response from the customer service department:

    'I would like to purchase a telescoping stock for the Benelli M3. However, I could not locate this item in the 2012 catalog. I am absolutely sure that this exists:

    You cannot purchase it..we are not allowed to import it or sell it to anyone but active duty law enforcement...ATF restrictions....sorry...

    I brought this subject up last week. How long has a collapsible stock been available for the supernova? Did Benelli redesign the supernova stock so it would have compatibility with the M3? I am curious to know why this compatibility hadn't been discovered earlier. Also, I didn't see a collapsible stock shown for the M3 in the Benelli 2012 catalog. I don't understand why they wouldn't advertise an M3 collapsible stock if there is compatibility. Heckler, where did you get that graphic from?

    porting a 45cal glock21

    G35 is 40 cal correct? do you use standard rounds or make your own? I know zero about the 40cal but I read the 45 is not hot enough to let the ports do their job well. (factory ammo)

     

    Yes the G35 is .40 caliber. I shoot factory 9mm rounds with my ported barrel (it is a conversion barrel) and it shoots great. Honestly, I don't know enough about shooting 45 caliber with a ported barrel because I don't own a 45. I do know that Glock makes a 21C which a factory ported barrel so conceptually it should not be a problem.

     

     

    The 34 and 35 slides aren't cut for porting purposes, they are that way to reduce the weight. I suppose you could use a ported barrel, not really sure why one would, they shoot so well the way they are.

     

    Yes you're correct. The cutout was meant to reduce the weight of the gun. But if you can reduce recoil without affecting cycling then I'm all for porting the barrel. Glock even produces them as factory guns:

     

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glock#9.C3.9719mm_Parabellum

     

    "The Glock 17C was introduced in 1996 and incorporated slots cut in the barrel and slide to compensate for muzzle rise and recoil. Many other Glock pistols now come with this option, all with a "C" suffix on the slide."

     

    http://remtek.com/arms/glock/model/40/24c/index.htm

     

    "As can be seen in the chart, the Glock 24Cs longer barrel provided increased muzzle velocities, ranging anywhere from 25 to 60 feet per second faster. Shooting the 24 and 22 side by side, I noted a big difference in muzzle flip with the Glock 24C. It was quite obvious that, the extra weight and vented barrel system do perform as claimed."

    Porting a gun will reduce recoil and prevent muzzle rise which ultimatley leads to more accuracy with your firearm. It accomplishes this by releasing gasses emitted through the ports. I have a Glock 35 which has a slide cut out on top. This allows for a ported barrell to be used that does not extend past the slide. The thing you have to be careful of is using low power ammo with ported barrels because your gun will not be able to cycle properly. With a 45 caliber weapon that shouldn't be a problem though.
