TwelveGaugeDave Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Great shots. But do you mean that 121 M1s are vintage? I use mine as my main home defense and SHTF shotgun. Is it time for me to upgrade? If so, what should I buy? Thanks, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1014 Posted September 5, 2005 Author Share Posted September 5, 2005 by no means is the 121 obsolete or second rate,,,its alot older and very unique for a Benelli shotgun,,estimated 50,000 built of all models between 1978-84,,out of that figure maybe 7% or so are for special purpose use,,,a fairly rare item in todays shotgun society,,,I would like to see a picture of your 121,,,, share and compare notes -------M1014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwelveGaugeDave Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I don't have the capability to send photos. That's probably good since I take horrible photos anyway. Mine is just a normal 121 M1 with the exception of the stock finish. I got bored with the standard oil finish and gave it a nice even cherry/Danish oil finish. It didn't really start looking good until the 5th or 6th coat, but she's got a much nicer red glow to her now. While I had the stock off I also repaired a small crack that appeared at the top of the stock behind the receiver. I assume it was caused by recoil. A little glue and it's hard to spot now. I'll see if I can't find someone with a digital camera that could post some photos of it. BTW, I'm glad to hear it's not obsolete.
