I have heard good reviews about the Briley triggers, you have to send them your whole housing so they can fit it for you. I thought about it, but chose instead to go with an OEM aluminum trigger guard, some Wolff trigger group springs for reliability, I didn't change any pull weights. And I lucked up on a Geissele hammer and threw that in. Thats it, I don't plan on doing anything else to it other than shooting it alot to smooth the action out. But if I had to recommend any kit, I'd go with Briley based on the feedback I've heard from people who actually use them.

lol so that was you 2. Congrats.

I just like my guns short unless I'm hunting. Tax stamp addiction is a real thing.

...... Arsonists day and night you say... 🤔

Yes, you want the 2-piece latch for the 20-gauge model. It fits. I could never find one in stock but a board member here sold me one. https://www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/prod/60488 Here is a thread with some good info. https://forums.benelliusa.com/topic/24749-j-kenny-2-piece-shell-latch/

I believe the cutout is just there to help guide rounds in under stress. After a few thumb bites I got rid of it myself and installed the TTI lifter. I also tried polishing the latch to ease loading. Can't say it helped much. The one thing I did try that helped a lot was an M2 latch, but then I would have had to give up my preferred bolt release button, and I didn't like adding another failure point due to the hinged latch. So I ditched it. I can say that just over time and alot of reloading, it's gotten easier.

Sometimes they take a minute, they got grandkids. A sweet lady will call you to collect payment soon and all will be well.

😂 I saw those. Interesting indeed

PM sent

Do you mind if they are stippled already?

🤣 aw man that sucks! At least you know it's tight and not going anywhere. Im sure it will pop itself out of there after you put some rounds through it. Looks good!

That's pretty slick you were able to get 5 3" shells in there. I run a 5rd tube and although I haven't tried, I know I couldn't do the same because it's tight with 5 2 3/4s. I use Federal FC rounds because I have a ton of em, and they run a bit long. Interestingly, with my OEM spring, I couldn't fit 5. I bought a Carrier Comp spring and still couldn't fit 5 without cutting coils. I was also using the OEM follower. I then got a follower with a flat face, as well as a new Carrier Comp spring and can load 5 2 3/4 rounds. I thought maybe since the rounds had been in the tube compressed for over a month the crimps had gotten compressed, but I tried about 40 fresh rounds out the ammo can and they all fit. Go figure.

So I found a Geissele trigger and traded a kidney for it. Then I found an OEM aluminum trigger guard and grabbed that too. Figured I may as well put some Wolff trigger Springs in it while I had it torn down. You guys weren't lying about the trigger guards finish from the factory, I had to clean it up first.

I feel so attacked..... 😭 Hey I'm retired and everything's paid for, I'm not gonna sit on my death bed wishing I had bought that Geissele hammer I'm gonna buy that shit! Good luck with your sale OP it is indeed a unicorn.

She's a beaut bud 😍

One mod hasn't been on since June 14, another November 16, another February 1, 2016, and the last Tuesday at 06:06 AM. Time to hand over the reigns.

Seems mine was manufactured in 2021. Came with polymer handguard.

Shit I'll pull mod duty if needed I'm retired and bored anyway

Now that you mention it, I do remember a bit of rotational play on my stock tube as well, but it went away with Robb's tube.

Yeah mine was really tight when I first got it, and was still tight when I replaced it with a 6-pos tube. I oiled it and worked it back and forth a while and it loosened up.

I was going to say Cotton Branch too, he posted this one he did on his Instagram. He does good work, he did an 870 barrel for me a while back.
