  1. should I also use a thread locker?

     

    I have never used threadlocker on numerous shotgun tubes, Benelli and otherwise. I oil mine. Never had one back out.

     

    Having said that it is not a bad idea to use threadlocker on your new tube, particularly if you do not plan on removing it. I recommend common Blue (medium) or even Purple (low). Do not use Red threadlocker unless you want to pull out your heat gun all over again.

     

    No need to worry about torque specs. These tubes have a large shoulder; simply turn until said shoulder is flush against the receiver.

  2. From Loxeals website regarding 83-55:

     

    "High strength anaerobic adhesive for locking and sealing of studs, nuts, bolts and threaded fasteners not requiring dismantling. It can be used on all metals either on free or forced matings. It provides high resistance to heat, corrosion, vibrations, water, gases, oils and many chemicals."

  3. Swapping in a Recoil Tube will only help that 1014. Nobody wants that single-position tube, unless they're in California :rolleyes:

     

    As I mentioned earlier: if you're concerned with value then go with a 2-position tube. Then it will be just like a real M1014!

     

    Just swap all your old components (buffer, spring, etc) onto to your new tube. But definitely take SD's advice on that flexible ring.

  4. The pricing on 1014s is all over the place. I've seen them sell from $1400 to past $3K. On a normal day folks seem to ask around 2200 for them so 2K will be a reasonable offer.

     

    Remember that the M1014s have a fixed choke, narrow extension non-flanged barrel. They're not bad, just not great. Once you get it call Numrich and get one of their 3-posisition recoil tubes, or better yet, a Mil-Spec 2 -position tube!

  5. I don't like the bolt lock. That means my wife would need to work the little metal lever to release the bolt to cycle and chamber a round.

     

    I think you're doing it wrong. If the hammer is down the bolt should not be locked.

     

    In the regards to Nova I have to be honest and state that I am not familiar with them. However, I have always felt that shotguns are very simple: Benelli autoloaders and Mossberg pumps (not the other way around). This means no Novas and definitely not any 930s.

     

    I will not turn the Benelli forum into Mossberg-and-870 contest but I will not own an 870 (again) and have my reasons for it. Also the M590A1 is not the uber-Mossberg that people make it out to be; the Heavy Barrel is useless at best.

  6. We'll split this into two parts: whether the guns been fired, and the handling/storage marks.

     

    The exterior marks could have come from handling. However; they are excessive and should have been disclosed prior to sale.

     

    Most (all?) firearms are test fired before leaving the factory and oftentimes are not cleaned afterward. Therefore new guns have been fired and may very well be dirty. However your gun shows more wear (at the bolt) and filth (choke tube) than would have occurred from cursory factory test firing.

     

    We want the link to the Auction! Who's the culprit?
