    No, I have not. I have been doing really well with JP Enterprise buffers, I like them a lot. 

    Just got my Blitzkrieg installed on my Benelli and man what a pain in the butt. So they didn't have that little wrench in stock when I got the sight and not looking and thinking about it I didn't have the right tool for the job. Welp I finally got the dang sight on then I realized it was pushed all the way to the right lol. Then I had to loosen the nut back up adjust and get the windage set then tighten back down without adjusting the windage. So, let's just say I recommend everyone either get that tool first or get it before your sight because I don't want to repeat what I had to use to get this dang thing on, it's actually embarrassing. 

    But now that it is on and sighted in man I gotta say it's a cool front sight and I think way better than the stock tritium sight that came with it. I'm about to head out and try this new sight with some 3" 00 Buck I've been wanting to try out. Hopefully, all goes well. Thanks for the recommendation Jaason.

    It's not fun when you have to buy a special 3.5 mm wrench for one little operation like installing the sight but when you need it, you need it. I will note that FFT was selling that wrench for $25 IIRC. The EXACT SAME wrench was available for $9.99 on Amazon. If you're gonna do that to me I expect dinner and a movie at least.

    Congrats man. Bright is an awesome guy and i know he had a tough time parting with that bad ass M4. I like how it is set up also. Super nice, man......not gonna lie i am a little jealous LOL

    Yes he is a great guy, I did grant him visitation rights whenever he's down in Texas which sealed the deal. The np3 has a unique feel that is evident immediately; I liken it to touching a new teflon skillet. Not gonna be a safe queen though, it's a player.

    Awesome info, thanks! I will check it out. I'm not really worried about the cost part, I know regardless this is gonna put a hole in my pocket lol, but what I am leaning toward is the dependability and the quality of the products. Ill pay a premium if I know I don't have to worry about it. If I can save a couple of bucks then yeah I am all in for that, but the price isn't my top concern. I do agree though that FFT definitely doesn't hold back on their pricing lol.

    Can anyone confirm they were able to load 7 shells where they could only load 6 with the Benelli cap?

    It depends on the shells which varies in size between manufacturers, I have been using Fetter which I could always load 7 with. The caps don't give a lot of new space so it likely will not make a HUGE difference. The new caps are really nice though. The raw titanium looks especially nice.

  5. You might try polishing the mag tube inside also, it could be hanging up a bit. There's a discussion on this forum on how to do that, it seems to solve some problems; it certainly won't hurt. It is here:

     

  6. I have seen those, they look pretty nice but, man, they are expensive and empty they don't lay flat. The hook & loop aren't great as they do wear out but at $14 a shot I just toss them when they do. For $100 you have quite a few h&l's that can be fit in mag pouchs. The rail alone with these is over $100 and you still need the shell holders. Just my $.02.

    Are there any sources of wood furniture for a Benelli M3?

    Cotton Branch custom firearms in Smithdale Mississippi does awesome wood stocks. I don't think they have a website but google it and you'll get a phone number. Not sure on price and you may have to send him the gun. Hope this helps.

  8. I see them turn up occasionally on Gunbroker but they aren't common. You could, of course, pay a Cerekoter to duplicate the 3-color pattern. I toyed with the idea of having one done in my favorite camo pattern, "chocolate chip" but in the end I went with solid "bazooka green", a sort of faded OD green shade. My thought was I could always paint any camo pattern I wanted to match terrain I was in. Acrylic paint will last surprisingly long and is very easy to remove. Sure, it will chip and wear over time but that just adds to the battle-worn look IMO.

    well come on, you've gotta set the market price and tell us what it was sold/bought for

     

    I think I got it for a fair price for both of us and I hope the seller doesn't mind if I disclose. $6500 for the gun, $100 shipping, $300 for the Trijicon and I reimbursed him for his PayPal fees $244. I did pay immediately. He is a great guy to deal with. I threw in visitation rights whenever he'd like and that includes a big Texas BBQ. That is a little more than a dolled up Cerakote version off Gunbroker but the NP3 is simply not available. I am very happy!

    Real-Deal-NP3-H2O!! Whatever the price was to buy..worth every penny!!  I was shooting shotguns recently with a bunch of guys, one guy has a newer H2O Cerakote model and he was making a point to tell everyone that the place he purchased it new told him the Cerakote-titanium-finish is just as good & durable as NP3!!😳 🤭  When we asked him where he purchased it??..SHOCKER!!.. he said Cabela’s. None of us had the heart to tell him the difference.

    Lol! They are not the same. I have a Cerekote model already and can compare. Believe me, I am thrilled to pick this up and I got the Trijicon as well so it doesn't need to be removed. As an added benefit, I made a new friend as well!
