  1. The original M1014 sold to US had a different serial number that went up to 2500. I dunno when they hit the market as it was before my time.

    Benelli M1014 Tactical NIB 12ga 18.5" Ghost Ring CA-img-2

    They brought it back because it will sell like hotcakes. They even brought back the M1 Super 90 last year.

  2. Because up until the latest M3, all prior ones had a pin that wasn't captured.

    The M4 is suppose to be easy to field service. Kinda like M16 push pins are captured. If you lose parts, the gun can shoot. It is easier to lose the M3 (or M1, M2, etc) clip. Your regular M1014 isn't going to be taken apart all the time to put in parts; just disassemble and oil.

    Even if you happen to break or lose the M4 clip, the gun can still be assemble and shot because of the captured pin.

    I have Starrett punches, Grace roll pin punches, Grace brass bunches, Whia and Borka torque tools.

    I’d still like to get a set of dedicated screw drivers.  The Wheeler set I have is cheesey and I usually use the Borka bits in it because they are much better quality.

    That PB stuff looks pretty good.  I think Grace makes a decent set of dedicated screw drivers but they aren’t cheap and not that many sizes in the set.

    Huh learn something new. The Grace slotted screwdrivers are parallel tip just like some of the European brands.

    Also when y’all decide on full screwdrivers, the handles are pretty important. I really like the Snap-on screwdriver handles, but the tips weren’t that great.

    Probably just better for a person to invest in bits first because then you can put it in a torque screwdriver (for optics n’ stuff) and replace them when they get worn.

    Brownells has a decent set of drivers with fixed handles and wood storage blocks. They even have brass name plates they custom make for you. Such as my daughter got me the set for one Father’s Day. 
    Brownells also has their Magnabit set which has a lot more bits. I bought four of their derlin organizers so I could spread out the collections of 1/4 bits and organize them a little better and add to the collection. The driver handle options Magnabit has are really nice. The bits will fit into torque drivers. Seekonk makes excellent dial indicator torque wrenches of various torque ranges in the 1/4 size. 

    How is the quality on that screwdriver from the recoil reducer from Israel? 

  5. Ehh I've had a whole bunch of M3s in many configurations and the HK weren't that desirable to me and they suck to modify/do service on. Just because it has the HK mark, it will attract some collectors for certain.

    I'd think $1000 or under for an older one is pretty fair when there isn't a panic. Most of the HK ones, I've paid between $700-$1300 for mine.
