Depends how old your M3 is, there's different tubes for different M3s.

I would say a few hundred over the M2 Tactical. So maybe like 1400-1600. To be frank, you could probably price it at 2000＄ and eventually it might sell. Values have been pretty crazy. if your gun looks like the pictures, then it should be a Benelli USA import and late production. I like those the best, but some folks will pay more just because it has HK import on it.

I like variety. They are different guns at different prices. Heck, I remember when the first generation 1301 launched you could have gotten them for 800$ after a few months. Far better than when the TX4 was the same price as the M4.

So jelly

Push on the bolt release button on the right side of the receiver and hold it down while taking it apart.

You just unscrew the windage and the sight + spring will pop off. Replace with the night sight version in reverse step.

These stocks have always been tough to buy, the pandemic made it worse. I think the highest we ever saw one being sold was like 1200$ on Gunbroker. It is just how things are now. You can see the going market price of a Knight's Armament Company Aimpoint battery cap is like 200$; a little metal cap with their logo that is suppose to cost 35$. SPAS-12s are in the 3000$ and up. HK stuff is ridiculously expensive. Tons of stuff appreciated in value or selling for way above MSRP.

As far as I know, only the M1014 has the 1 position. Every other variant should be 3 position (the real deal military M1014 should be only 2 position).

One position. What you are buying is a parted out shotgun. Probably a M1014 from last year’s summer deal for 1700＄ and then they sold the stock for like 1000＄ and making back the difference

Its not great, but secondary market is usually 100-200$ more.

Take one out and measure it. The real deal uses 8-40 screws.

I ain’t got time to hand fit parts, especially not on some silly handguards. Hand fitting the trigger and hammer on a 5000$ atlas gunworks 2011. Sure, that makes sense. The gunsmith should be doing that.

That is like a perfect fit.

I got rid of my FFT forends because I couldn't tighten down my barrel. They are purposely made to be oversized for some reason.

That midway link is for the recoil spring. So shorter, even shorter than a 5 round factory magazine tube.

Thats the wrong spring.

Can’t go wrong with Trijicon. They have got good designs that has stuck around for years. RMR is still wildy popular; but I prefer my SRO for my shotguns.

Funny the same day somebody had their barrel extension back off on their Super Black Eagle 3: https://old.reddit.com/r/Benelli/comments/swryx9/has_this_happened_to_anybody_before_i_have_shot_4/

Should be an easy warranty. As much as I am a shill for the brand, its apparent the last few years of guns have had more issues.

? exciting. Can’t wait to see new pictures.

Just some more info, the change occurred before A&S brought their metal trigger guard to market. There is some confusion when doing some cross compatibility on the M3 since it is so old. The earliest H&K M3s barely have any compatible parts. Here's one of the earliest pictures I have when the trigger guard changed from Shot Show 2013: You can see right below the M3 Shorty is the M2 Tactical. Some time at this point, the Benelli M3 was updated with the rear furniture from the M2. The plastic trigger group no longer locked into the grip unlike the alloy trigger group. If you look on Midwest Gunworks, sometimes you see parts cutoff at a certain serial number. This also applies to the Montefeltro & Raffaello where the name stays the same but the gun gets changed. What is also more confusing is that the American Raffaello is called the Ethos; but then there are Raffaellos that are basically Super Black Eagles. Two guns called Raffaello, but not much is interchangeable apart from the bolt group, some trigger parts, and barrel. Hopefully whoever finds this on google can make use of this info.

Push the lever on the right side up. It has a red painted dot on it.
