mattmcg Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Is the Benelli OEM 7 shell full length tube for the 11707 M4 an aluminum or steel tube? I'm not talking about the aftermarket ones, just the original OEM version. Thanks.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bid on one on gunbroker last month but didnt meet reserve. He wanted $850. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you missed my question. It wasn't "if" one was available it was "what kind of metal is it made of?" I realize the OEM one is spendy.

mattmcg Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 Sorry. Stell tubing just like the barrel. No problem. Thanks for the feedback! And to add a bit more, I'm surprised to hear that it is steel! While I know this is a heavy duty shotgun, my guess would have been aluminum for its corrosion resistance properties and lightness. Given its longer profile than an SBR for assault oriented activities, the swing weight seems to be something worth considering...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
