Can someone enlighten me and tell me what RTV is?
RTV is "Room temp vulcanization" Refers to a silicone sealant used for gasket making on engine parts like oil and transmission pans as well as many other uses. JB weld makes one in black...but there are many other brands.

What is "SBS"? Short barrel shotgun?
Yup

I’m away from the shop. After you remove screws (113) you would make some spacers that go in the screws, between cheek pad (111) and stock (124). You could also stack washers if you want a cheap solution.
Looks like that would work... but I'd seek out longer screws to make up for the amount of spacers used.
-
Or just go SBS and both the AVA and IWC mounts put the light right up close to the end of the barrel ?

Any good machine shop with proper cnc machines could duplicate the designs... but hopefully no good machine shop would be so horrible as to reproduce someone else's work without properly compensating them.

I'd try a choke thread chaser (should be on the other end of your choke wrench) and start using a choke grease to prevent moisture from getting in there. Depending on how bad the choke is I'd either just buy a new one or try a more aggressive rust removing chemical... but I'd lean towards the new choke.

If it worked before sending it in then it seems like the problem is with the shop you used then...

I could only fit 4 Federal LE OO buck with wad control. Extremely disappointed since I bought some bulk.
Same for me with the S&B. These shells seemed really long. Shot fine though.
I've had good luck with the 8 pellet 00 buck rounds. Might be work getting a box and seeing if that works for you. At least you'll have lots of training rounds to use...

Ah you're right... no armorlube on aluminum... Poly-t2 does seem like a viable alternative
-
Yeah, if you really want to fix it look at cerakoting like Stranger Danger or perhaps Armor Lube by Robar. I'm looking at armor lubing (strange verb) my m3 by them as the forend wore through the anodizing pretty quickly on my reciever.

Learn to embrace the scratches.
Otherwise aluminum black by birchwood casey is an ok touch up but it can get rubbed off easily enough.. Keep in mind this is an oxidizer and not a paint.

Benelli Italy replied, in Italian. Translation via my computer didn't really make much sense, but it appeared they would get back with me. That was two weeks ago. So I'm still looking for a parts supplier with a all parts for Benelli MP90 / MP95 pistols.
At this point it may be worth it to consider a gunsmith / machine shop. I've had some vintage camping stoves need parts replacements and the companies no longer carry parts for them so I had to either make them myself or seek out a machine shop / spring maker. I know it's silly given that benelli italy still sells them.
Sometimes it's worth it to be tenacious and find email address for higher ups in the company if customer support drops the ball...
Those are the two avenues I've used in the past with success if I couldn't otherwise find what I needed. Maybe hit up some pistol forums or browse gun selling sites for stores that carry benelli pistols and shoot them an email to see if they have any parts.

What’s considered timely?
There really isn't much data to determine an average length of repair times. It's really going to depend on work load and how many gunsmiths they are employing that are not on leave... I have no idea how many firearms they repair from LE and Military contracts.

Stati Uniti is the United States? Thank you! I was able to send them a message now. Hopefully they can direct me to someone.
My apologies if you already knew that... thought it would save you some time looking for the correct entry to submit the form

I'd try the HQ in Italy

"Stati Uniti" is United States in Italian FYI

Lots of easy to find resources on this one. Short answer is no, you need more than two US made parts that are specified in the legal text.
-
As for your concerns.. I think you need to do some reading on what is anodizing on aluminum vs other surface treatments on steel such as parkerizing. Plus the differences on aluminum vs steel corrosion
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anodizing
-
Yes... probably 4-5 months the first time.
It had been in rain...but not really wet. I try not to allow firearms to get soaked.

No, for a more stable stance for control of recoil when shooting multiple heavy rounds

I couldn't find any Aberdeen Proving Ground documents on the m1014 for public viewing.
If you want to be thorough in your search you can submit a FOIA request to see if you can get your hands on the full testing and results for the JSCS program

For the testing they really are not going to run "ambush situations" unless it is specified in the requirements (or desired characteristics). This is getting into legal wording for what is required and unless it is spelled out there will be lawsuits. What you are asking for is something you'll have to test yourself. Besides you'd have to use the exact same type of ammo the military was using at that time for those results to be applicable to your situation.
The Combat Shotgun to be procured and fielded will be
required to satisfy the following operational and physical
requirements described in the Joint Operational Requirement

adjustment to the operating system. The
Marine Corps Systems Command is unaware
of any DOD acquisition programs to procure
and type classify 3.0-inch, 12-gauge ammunition
for use by DOD components.4
(3) Have a maximum effective range of forty
meters (fifty meters desired) with the DOD
standard 2.75-inch No. 00 buckshot ammunition,
and 100 meters (125 meters desired)
with slug ammunition.

This has been hashed out numerous times.... but yes the military barrel has a fixed choke. Most of what I've seen, included order forms from benelli and benelli italy show it having a fixed modified choke... some web review says it has a fixed improved cylinder. There were no citations in that article so I have no idea where they got that from. You can take the measurements of the barrel and determine what it is as it's the amount of constriction that determines what choke it is.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choke_(firearms)
The testing requirements that the benelli was entered in for the trials back in 1998 required the use of 00 buck, other shotshells, and slugs. So there is a compromise one needs to make for selecting only one choke. It makes sense that you wouldn't want chokes coming loose in the middle of battle... and who would want to carry around extra barrels.
With that information I'll turn the question back around... why wouldn't you want a fixed modified choke on a fighting gun? But don't wake my word for it. There's plenty of information out there with a little use of a search engine.

I kinda went hogwild after the weekend and ordered samples of all of them. Interested in some of the others also just to get 4-shell variants. Instructor recommended Vang-Comp and Ess-tac. Guess I'll be doing a heavy comparison of my own of those, and the SOE.
I'd be interested to hear your take on the different cards. I found the esstac to hold the shells too closely together for gloved use and more difficult to add or remove shells even after letting them stretch for a month. Also good to test when they are on the shotgun as you deal with different angles than when adding or removing shells when the card is directly in front of you.
Now that Robar isn't doing coating, where to go???
