Well, here it is. We are in a pandemic and this will be sold in California. I have noticed on armslist that prices are lower in other states. I am thinking $1300 plus at this very moment. A guy offered $1250 today. That's good, maybe someone else will want it a little more.

If I had to sell it, what would be a fair price given the condition. At 25 years, near perfect condition, has the HK marked Benelli M3 become a collectors item? Sometimes when I pick up something so old and in such great shape, I feel a little guilty destroying it with mods or tossing it around in a 3 gun match.

I had a similar question about obtaining parts from the newer LE model. I think the model is 11606. I found the magtube on one site yesterday. Would be nice to get to 10 rounds with an extension. Don't think you export gun parts, probably means you can't import either.

Well, wasn't sure because this was a 25 year old gun. So, I am quite shocked to be able to find something in this condition for its age. When making an offer, I just assumed a 95' would have a few thousand rounds on them.

I saw a bronze cerakote one at sportsmans warehouse last year and it did not have a choke, think all 1014 models are fixed choke barrels.

Posted this on Calguns but didn't get a lot of response. Just joined the Benelli forum. Hopefully you guys have more feedback. Wondering if those who have bought a new Benelli and fired a few rounds through it can take a look at this. These pics are from a 1995 M3. It shows nearly no wear. Do you think it's new, never fired, less then 25 rounds, some other number? Based on the scratches in the bolt, seems likes it's been racked about 25 times, but only fired a couple times. The pin that holds the bolt in only shows a scuff on one side.
