I had two and upgraded them to M4s. Couldn't hardly give them away. Excellent guns with great reliability.

But your round count is so low

Barrel Clamp not handguard - I have wood furniture on my M4s. Nordic and GGG make such a thing for nearly every other tactical shotgun but no Benellis. Please let me know a source

The full salvo having off that thing is a brick. Had it, switched to the JK and its much lighter.

I use the JK on the 18” no problem. Ghe 14” barrel is likely too thin. You can check with Briley

Depends on how big. For very small stuff a sharpie works.

Fore end is from Cotton Branch. Butt stock is an M1

Honestly wish I'd kept my M1s all wood. For all the ridicules reasons, the wood furniture makes them less scary to F/F even though they know its the same thing. Should it come to jury, it can't hurt. That said, I do prefer wood generally to plastic furniture. Am told a 1301 version of the fore end may be in the works

I love my two M4s. I've just finished updating them to all wood furniture. As a consequence, I have two 11" Truckee forends at $75 each and two stock non-pistol grip stocks (new) with limb savers for $50 each. PM for photos

The fastest reload is the New York reload. If the Benelli runs dry then the 226 is there. And the Virtus 300 BLK. I have read somewhere that the biggest problem you will likely have is not running dry but some failure to feed/fire. Drop that weapon and use the next. Yes, it's good to drill on clearances and reloads but my time is spend on transition training

Sorry to hear about your chokes. I have two HK M1 and love tgem For the receiver, first heat the Velcro with a heat gun and see if you can pull it up first. Then get off what you can with goof off - it’s far more mild - then goo gone. Mineral spirits or acetone after that

If you don't want to use a gunsmith, yes.
