For those of you who have the more modern M3 with a collapsible stock, can u simply pull a pin and remove the stock a tube, leaving behind just the pistol grip as seen on Benelli Defenses website on their breacher M3 model?

SBS, no question. Plus if you have a factory 18.5 and a 2-shot extension, you have more options.

@Unobtanium just reading old threads. You stated that you run an M1 Super 90 spring in all your M4’s and articulated as to why. Midwest Gunworks advertises a standard and extended magazine spring for the M1. I’m assuming beings you’re running extension you’re using the extended version? Additionally, any stance on the use of these magazine springs for those of us running the 5-shot Entry SBS M4’s?

Yeah. Put it there for placement and just left it. Value added I guess.

No

These are intriguing gentlemen. XS Sights make two versions as well that I like also.

Thank you. Was it worthwhile?

Which of the tubes looks closest to factory finish? DG, or muted? Thanks

It’s hard to get the scope of how sweet the entry is, plain, out of the box. I’d consider mine, minimalistic, as a whole. I had the scalarworks, T2, modlite n mount, sling, limb saver, shotgun cards,match saver, n second set of handguards, prior to form 4 approval. So I was committed to a path I wanted for overall build. I am very pleased with how it turned out, as I am not shotgun-centric in my profession and despite owning many niche, high dollar Gucci firearms, the entry is my favorite. Despite all this, when I finally picked it up, absent of seeing it for 6 months, I was very torn, not leaving it as is and immediately wanted a second to leave un-molested. Sooo badass and soooo much handier feeling than the full-size sibling. Congratulations. It looks great!

A lot of people selling new take offs with high demand.

Copy. Yeah I’ve seen that one once before. I’ve no issues with my M4 collapsible, but for this build I really do prefer the option pulling the detent and adding another abbreviated configuration that the supernova stock provides. Hopefully we each gain headway on this. I haven’t obtained a platform yet, as I am unsure of which model I should begin with. In my case, probably the c-stock already on board, the obtain a 5 shot nut, chop n LPA sight. Unless I can source the European barrel… doubtful though

Yeah, it sucks as I have been on this path briefly and the almost is a dull contempt it seems. To the point of I think I may attempt to import a NFA factory barrel on letterhead. Steve Rose is mentioned here in this thread: Here is my attempt at gaining info on the M3 I believe you mean the Super Nova Stock assembly and not the M4 Stock assembly. It would seem that individuals are hesitant to do work on Bonelli barrels because they are thin walled. After further research I think that they will chop them but they will not thread them for chokes. The other source of contention is to attach a front sight that is applicable. cotton branch customs, on Instagram, said they WILL, do the work. Keep me posted. Expensive project, but a badass gun in a 14.5 configuration….19.5, meh, not so much

Where did you end up on this endeavor? I think someone like Steve Rose is your only option on trimming the barrel. Unfortunately Benelli only offers a entry option in European venues for the M3. https://www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/prod/60045 this company Offers M3 barrels in both rifled and ghost ring configurations. The trick is going to be finding an applicable front sight in a proper height for the configuration. I was pretty hot to trot on a sbs’d M3 after seeing the factory configuration, with collapsing stock. Very adaptable considering you can pull the pin and have a pistol grip only configuration for breaching or a pack. curious if anyone knows what parts are needed on the newer style receiver to install the collapsing stock, that converts to pistol grip, if I were to buy one with a fixed stock. if I were to purchase the firearm with the applicable collapsing stock, I would have to source the shorter, standard magazine cap, with 5 shot extension. These seem difficult to source.

Unique looking, sleek M4! The AFG hinders the look a bit IMO. But, function over form if it works for u.
