Unobtanium Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Any issues shooting loose, did you use any thread-lockers, or just torque it down good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bello Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 i just tightend mine with a socket wrench have never had a problem with it, idk if i would thread lock it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unobtanium Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) Did you use a flat-head attachment, or what? I think I like Benelli's OEM system the best. So I re-created it by JB Kwik Welding the washer/bolt in place on the Urbino stock. Now it is identical to the OEM stock in form/function. Problem permanently solved. M1014 now field-strips without tools, cannot shoot the stock loose. Thanks goes to Mitch of Mesa Tactical for the idea.

Unobtanium Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 Well...not so solved. Apparently the Mesa Tactical screw is not fine enough for adjustment, and the stock is either un-tightenable, or too loose, in this configuration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Fab Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Yeah, I wondered about that. Seems like you would have to tighten the stock on THEN somehow cement the washer/bolt in place. Not sure how you would accomplish that. Benelli OEM has figured something out in relation to this alignment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saym14 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I used lock tight. didnt want to over-torque it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renault Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I used lock tight. didnt want to over-torque it. Are you able to remove the screw even though it's got lock tight on it now? I know some people were having problems using lock tight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unobtanium Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 The whole thing frustrated me so I put the OEM stock back on and am trying not to think of what the Urbino cost me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Same conclusion I came to after looking at it for a while. Thread locker and the stock retainer screw do not mix if you ever plan to remove the stock for maintenance. That little snap ring won't do anything to retain the stock retainer. It'll push right through it if you have a seized mounting bolt and stock retainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renault Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 This makes me sad, I can't get a collapsible because I live in California. Also I don't have long arms so the OEM is workable, but a little long for comfort. I found the Urbino to be a proper length for me, but if the screw comes out too easily that will be a problem. I haven't had enough time to shoot it recently to observe this first hand, but this is discouraging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unobtanium Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 VC-3 Vibratite might work for you. Try it and report back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narkcop Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 So what's the final verdict? Is the Urbino worth buying for a shorter LOP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narkcop Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I've decided to keep the factory pistol grip until I can find a c stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creeper Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 So what's the final verdict? Is the Urbino worth buying for a shorter LOP? If the stock LOP fits you well and it's comfortable to shot for the time frames, clothing, gear and loads you most frequent... then there's little advantage. At 5'10"/165 lbs; I personally find the Urbino stock to be well worth the money on my M2T. The Limbsaver pad, the fatter, more square-backed grip (which I didn't think I'd like at all) that seems to distribute recoil to my hand better than the stocker... and the cheekweld/sight picture all suit me to a tee. I'd bet that if you ask around in your location, you can find someone with an Urbino stocked gun that would let you, at least, shoulder the gun, and perhaps fire it. I've been approached on three separate occasions via e-mail, and too many times to count at local ranges. I suspect my gun has been responsible for more than a few Urbino sales.
