58worldseries Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I was at a local gun shop yesterday when a older man walked in with a Benelli M1. He said he bought the gun new took it home fired 6 rounds through it and said it had too much recoil for his age and just let it sit. He wanted to trade it for a glock. The store owner completed the transaction. After the man let I asked how much he wanted for it and I was told 625 I asked him if he would take 600 he accepted and I picked it up today. I own many guns but know nothing of benelli's was this a fair price to pay for the gun? It's flawless. I cannot even tell its been fired. I loved the look of the gun, so I bought it. Now I'm just checking to see if I overpaid.?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

58worldseries Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 Great to hear! I was a bit worried . I was at a friends party last night and a guy there said he wasn't sure but he thought it was the m3 or m4 that everyone wanted. I mean it's only 600 dollars but would hate to 6 on a gun that's only worth 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 (edited) The M4 is one of the cool guns to get but the M1 is a classic, did it have the folding stock? Regards, d if you want to convert it, e-gunparts has one of the largest selections of benelli parts I have seen, not too bad on the price. I have a M1 folding stock kit from there that I am retrofitting to one of my supernovas. I will post pics when done.

Creeper Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 It's easily worth $600, and depending on the model and condition, as much a $1100 in some parts of the country. After you've run about 200,000 rounds through it, and it's just starting to get broken in... you should be a happy camper. C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Eogetorenk Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 The price mainly depends on the condition of the gun as how old the gun is and how many fires have been done with it. But you made a fair deal with it as in some parts it costs about $800-$1000 with second hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
