Make sure the front-sight is not canted by laying the SG upside down on a granite countertop or something. Buy Kip's Ti mag-tube and spring. Buy a collapsible stock for $600 or so while the market is at a low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xamoel Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 canted in which way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unobtanium Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 canted in which way? To the left, IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xamoel Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 hm i guess its due to my bad english that i don't get it at once. is the WHOLE front side, including the protecting wings, turned to one side, or just the front dot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC it was his whole sight canted at an angle. When it was set upside down on a flat surface resting on both the rear and front sight wings, one of the front wings did not touch the flat surface. I believe Benelli CS took care of the problem for him. Hookster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmlm4 Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 hey thanks! will check out the front sights and lube it properly. when you say mag-tube, you mean the mag extension? what's the spring for? by the way, mine comes with the retractable stock already.

He was referring to a full length titanium mag tube from Carriercomp. http://www.shop.carriercomp.com/main.sc;jsessionid=D41D28F15289C650DFEFD02F12CF0597.qscstrfrnt01 just be aware of 922r if you want to make make this modification!

needncash Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 You might wanna disassemble and give a thorough cleaning before any shooting. The little bag of silica sand type moisture absorber was leaking in the box before i got mine and got into the piston tubes. The gun shop guy didnt say anything but i found the broken bag and a few grains of beach sand in the case it when i got home upon disassembly. Enjoy.
