Picitinney rail for M1

[Mackpack]

Anyone know where or who I can purchase a Picitinny rail to sit atop of my M1. The rail for the M4 would work, but it is not available from benelli. I'm looking to attach a red dot on my rail. Anyone try that, if so do you like it?

Find a gunsmith first and I'm sure he will have a rail sitting around or know where to get one for the job.

Thanks Allen, I've thought about it and in fact I have a rail but would rather have the rail that comes with the M-4. so as to keep it looking like a factory install.

Anyone replaced thier M-4 rail with another I would love to take the M4 rail off your hands.

Manpack,

Two things. First: when you do have one put on let me know how you like it, I want to do the same to my M1 entry. Second: on the M4 rail, I'm sure that Benelli sells them. I'm gonna check and see and let you know what I find out. Good Luck.

Before you guys go spending lots of money on accessories, the M1 does not fair well with extra weight on her. It's a known issue that cycling problems will occur with extra weight on any inertia based model. By adding weight, you're reducing inertia in the gun which may limit it's ability to cycle the action reliably. Some people havn't had problems but more have. Just thought I'd drop a warning.
