    Super nova reciever

    In theory, yes. In reality, probably no. It's Benelli, so even if it were possible it would probably cost 80% of what a new gun does. You're better off buying a new one and selling all the other parts.
  2. What I learned was.... do all the extra unimportant stuff extra fast if you want to try to look cool. 😉 Average shots, average transitions, but lots of song and dance in between. 🤪
  3. Well that certainly is what should have been an obvious simple solution. Of course there's more money in big complicated ones.

    Benelli M3 mods

    I did it to a couple M2's, then never bothered again. I think in reality of only ghost loaded once with purpose, in a very unusual match where there was a benefit. Generally speaking, it's a pain in the butt. Might help you if you plan on leaving the gun fully loaded all the time, but it's not something you're going to do in a hurry.
  5. Fixed choke? Fire away to your hearts content. Honestly... I've fired slugs through Xtra-Full Turkey chokes. Shot like crap, wouldn't do it a lot, but hurt nothing. I'm not telling you to do that, they were thick wall, extreme long chokes with lots of thread and along gradual tapper. Shorter thinner ones might not take it as well. My experience is what choke shoots best varies gun to gun, slug brand/type to slug type. I've had them that shot open best. Some preferred Mod, Light Mod. I have my Grandfather's Browning A5 with a fixed full choke and it shoots slugs amazing. (that's what he used it for) The old axiom "Every gun is a law unto itself" really shows through when it comes to shooting slugs.
  6. Push button lights make my thumb hurt.
  7. M1 and M4 are Mobil chokes. M2 are Crio. The whole Benelli/Beretta thing is complicated, they're the same but they're not. Long story short, they'll fit, but won't act the same depending on a few things.
  8. The IWC mount would work, but just like the light mount, you can't buy them anymore. (I have one on a rifle and couldn't remember who made it. Searching a bit brought me to the realization that it was the same company.) "right side of the gun above the centerline near the butt stock." Would a regular M-Lok style QD mount fit in that groove?
  9. "Who wore it better?:" (I think the Beretta) I kept meaning to buy a Beretta to try them, but I just kept buying more used 'nelli's. Just a few things about the Beretta I'm not crazy about, owned an older Xtrema briefly, there were just a couple things I hated about it, and I fear they will carry over into other models. That said, having owned an M4 for a few years now, if I had it to do over, I wouldn't.
  10. Hehehe... I was starting to post that I had, then I went to look for pictures. Found the last photos I took for a sale listing, and.... no stippling! WTF? I know I did it! Then I remembered I'd done one of my M2s. The SuperNova I'd cut grip tape for the relief areas. But removed them for the sale.
  11. Other than the smart ass sounding answer of Stop shooting Kent, no. Partial squib or stuck wad (which is sort of the same thing I suppose). Were your gun not camo I'd suggest buying a Huglu barrel from Carlson's, but obviously it won't match. Buying a new replacement camo barrel may not make sense money wise, compared to the cost of the whole gun. Used barrels show up on Ebay and Gunbroker all the time, but generally not camo ones.

    When to Rebuild

    This is the standard line in the gun world. Repeated often. But take and use this information sparingly. It may very well apply to some types of springs of a certain level of quality, but people read it and take it as gospel about all of them. From my line of work, I've learned it's far from true.
  13. Did you try it without the +2? With the magazine cap off, and the spring just stuck in the tube, how much spring sticks out? (and if you're using a +2, factor that in. I've always used Nordic's suggested method... "On semi-automatic shotguns especially, magazine spring length can be critical for proper function. We recommend that approximately 16” extends past the end of the Nordic Components Magazine Tube Extension as a starting point."
  14. Oil it. Then use the hell out of it. Scratch it all up. You won't notice the color change. If you wanted a static art display, then you didn't need a full length mag.
  15. I think they may even sell stick on comb pads that thick? You could buy a kydex comb riser, but you'd have to drill holes in your stock. Though recently I bought one with the intention of "gluing" it to a stock, with a herder silicone like adhesive, so I could remove it if need be. But once I started the idiot light went on and I realized I wouldn't be able to get the bolt out. lol https://matthewsfabrication.com/product/adjustable-kydex-cheek-rest/
  16. Wow that's a list alright. If you think you want or need all that stuff, we won't try and stop you. But you posted it for input, so I will say... Right off the bat, as others have stated, there are other brands of quality, for less money. But it you like their offering, have at it. FFT Steel No-Spin Charging Handle If you want one. Spin, no spin, don't care. I did find the factory one a little stabby for the palm of my hand. FFT Trigger Pack Upgrade + Wolff Trigger Springs Why? Unless you're chasing compliance. I put aftermarket springs in mine and ended up taking them out, a little too light with the hammer I put in it. FFT Premium Aluminum Follower Okay, but not that one. ($$) FFT Wolff Premium High Power Magazine Spring No need. FFT Steel Full-Length Magazine Tube If you want. (whomever's) FFT Oversized Bolt Release Button If you want one. TTI Benelli AccuGuide Extended Carrier IMO, not needed on the M4. I have extended ones on my M1, all my M2's and maybe even one SBE. Honestly I felt I wasted my money on the M4 one. It's not that much different. The M4 has much less "fork" and less gap. RX Benelli M4 Magazine Cap Titanium ?? If you want I guess. lol Briley 3Gun M-LOK Handguard 13" None for me thanks. (for a few reasons) A&S Enhanced Trigger Guard Have one on an M2, I wouldn't buy another. Aridus Industries Universal QD Shell Holder I hate hanging ammo on shotguns, so none for me. Black River Manufacturing Elite Collapsible Stock Carbon Fiber Another personal thing, so none for me. I hate PG shotgun stocks, so I've no use for an adjustable one. (Turkish mystery parts?) Search and read reviews before you jump.

  18. This is one of those things where the theoretical meets reality. Out running a Benelli trigger isn't particularly difficult. But other than doing mag dumps into the same spot just to see how fast you can do it, it serves no purpose. (Then you start to play the game of "go as fast as I can without going so fast it doesn't work. You work on your timing and rhythm. Sure it can be silly expensive fun a for a few minutes, next thing you know you wasted 125 rounds and didn't really learn anything. lol) "Damn, I can't do something that never actually happens!" So it's a "problem" that's not really a problem. As to the WHY, it could be that the Panzer is over gassed (and beating itself to death). So the fact that it can do something you don't need to do might not be a good thing.
  19. I bought one for an M1 or M2, light mount, not the sling combo. I didn't care for how far out it stuck and gave it away. The light/mount in that picture isn't doing it any favors, making it worse. I was using pistol type lights that snugged right up against the mount and thought it stuck out too far.
  20. If you're looking to have one lightened, there's plenty of people who can do it. Though I'm not sure why you would want to on an M4, unless it's cosmetics you're after.
  21. There's only one way to know which ones your gun will like. That's not not a smart ass answer, it's just fact. IME, the old adage "every gun is a law unto itself" really REALLY applies with shotguns-chokes-buckshot.
  22. Benelli M4 PG stock, used. Pretty good shape I'd say. $65 shipped conus.

    Just people doing "what they're supposed to do". What they've learned from the news media and internet over the last decade or two is a normal response to any issue. With the media continually making small local news stories into national news for the sake of views and advancing the agenda (example: there was one recently where they kept referring to the person as a mass shooter, even though they didn't shoot anyone at all), and repeatedly making these murderers into national celebrities, they've made it the "new norm", it's just what you do, which is what they want. Humans are simple creatures that way, "monkey see, monkey do." The media a vultures. They're despicable excuses for human beings, reveling and befitting from death and misery.
