Thanks I appreciate the info. Digging into this a bit it seems my surprising hurdle is going to be sourcing a shorter mag tube ext. I have the LE model so it came with the extended mag tube instead of the short tube on some of the non LE models. Looking around it seems not to be available to purchase (plenty of the extended tube options). May have to put out some wtb ads, surely someone took off their short one for the extended and would be willing to sell it.

Quick question about the m3 cut and crown. Thinking of doing it to my m3 as well. Did you go to the 14.5” length mentioned on the Benelli LE model website. Secondly what front sight did you use? That almost looks like a Vang Comp front sight? I was wondering if I could just sweat off the old front sight and reuse but I am guessing that may throw of the pattern due to the height / barrel difference? To me it looks like if you could source an m4 front sight for the entry model it would work as well. I have cut and crowned my own barrels before so thinking I could diy (after nfa paperwork). Thinking you could just cleaning up and solder in a new front sight as well. Any insight would be appreciated.

I just did mine with a butane touch, took about a minute of flame and virtually no force. It looks to be 24 tpi. Does anybody know of a thread protector to put on it? I would like to be able to run it with or without the breacher.
