You basically hafta swap out the tubes is sounds like. Easier to get a longer case. These are tougher to remove than the metal Benellis because you need to use high heat to swap the tubes.

I'm waiting on my ACRO P-2 for my M3.

That is as far as that will go. sounds like you have the removeable tube version.

That looks like quite the fun day.

Good to know you found the tool to be of good use! I gave some away to my friends and they liked it too.? I just just returned from overseas so haven't been here as often. I am hoping FFT or Benelli themselves comes out with one so I don't hafta do all the work. ? Speaking of which I had to answer a few emails about M3 receiver tubes, so here's a guide: 61634 fits the newest M3s and Supernovas. The newest M3s have the rounded receiver. It can also be fitted on a M2 (which I have done). 70136 fits on the newest M4A1 and the prior gen M3s (most notably those sold to New Zealand). The difference between this tube and 61634 is that the notches are pushed back about 6mm and the threads are longer by 5mm. If you use you the wrong tube it will leave a big gap or you will lose the shortest position. Easiest way to tell is that there is a 5th dimple for 70136. There is also a 3rd tube that can be removed completely, but those are quite uncommon.

No. Got too expensive unless I ordered like 100+ tubes.

Perhaps you could look at pinning the stock.

No it will not.

It could also be the tube itself is made incorrectly per this useful thread:

I prefer soft cases for general use.

Huh, I was under the impression they removed the ring before plating. Today I learned...

If can’t find one, I d suggestion getting a regular black tube and sending it out to be hydro dip.

Nope.

Testing this out: Much more easy to service. 1.5mm (or 1/16") punch to remove the capture ring. Before you ask; I have already ran numbers on making an integrated stop inside the hole. Much more expensive to cut and inspect, so still sticking with the steel ring as per original.

Just take the buffer tube off and slap on onr from an M1/M2. Then put a M1 wood stock on with the correct shims. Bingo

Pretty good prices to be honest.

Next year.

Well make that two. The pistol grip stocks can't even take the gel pads, cheek riser, or the comfortech chevrons.

In my opinion no. They just for looks?

yes it will work.

Aluminum versus steel.

Super Vinci parts are stupid expensive to obtain if you can even. I've never seen a barrel sold separately. It is unlikely you will ever need to replace something, but hard to change the config. Super Black Eagle 2 is really nice, and big plus is that the parts are both forwards and backwards compatible. I would only get the Super Vinci if it fits better.

Is the new one going to be metal?

"They look awesome, stealthy" Darn right they do!

FFT isn't credible anymore. The face of the company, Todd, believes that the M1014 how it arrives to America is a California assault weapon because the aluminum stock can collapse when you want to strip the gun.
