StrangerDanger Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 http://www.promagindustries.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=PM253&CartID=1 Looks interesting. Certainly a better price point than the factory option. Quote

StrangerDanger Posted October 28, 2012 Author Posted October 28, 2012 They're probably incorrectly counting the install notch. The stock looks like an exact copy of the Benelli unit. If I needed a stock or compliance parts, this may be a good option. I've had hit and miss with promag's quality in the past. Quote
Hookster Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 I've had hit and miss with promag's quality in the past. True that!!.....If they did a good job on this one..... they will do well.... Quote
TeamGSD Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 KG Fab, Please keep me updated on how it turns out when you buy it from promag Quote
Hookster Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 Yeah... I'd like to hear the review on their forend!!! If you can remove the six o clock rail and just use a short segment on one of the side positions I might be interested.. :-) Quote
Zeke Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 WOW... that fore end looks like the Surefire. You definately get a lot of bang for your buck! I just may pull the trigger on this ! Quote
Mr. Shotgun Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 Keep me posted guys on this part.... Quote
12508 Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 Wow. The grip and cheekpiece look like factory parts . . . Quote
crofton Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 (edited) Wow. The grip and cheekpiece look like factory parts . . . SD referenced their quality, I would question their quality control: Beneli vs Benelli or am I going blind?

Super33 Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) It looks like a replica. Hopefully the guinea pig already has a Benelli stock for quality comparison. Edited November 1, 2012 by Super33 Quote

StrangerDanger Posted October 29, 2012 Author Posted October 29, 2012 My hope is that the stocks are just remanufactured Benelli stocks. I noticed the name screw up too. The fact that they claim it is a four position stock make my eyes bulge. The pistol grip looks nearly identical to the factor one. Even the rubber flashing athe rear. The aluminum forging near the butpad is identical. I'm sure you can remove the rails if you need to. Quote

Lexusf Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 if you have ever owned pro mag stuff you know quality sucks! Quote
Sukhoi_fan Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 if you have ever owned pro mag stuff you know quality sucks! But it all looks so good! Well, it appears we've got two victims...,er I mean guinea pigs so we should know before long. Quote
KB Fab Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 I haven't been able to pull the trigger on this yet but I did just talk to a tech at Pro Mag and he indeed confirmed that this is real and they are available. He also indicated that he had heard that these were being produced in conjunction with Benelli somehow. In fact, he thought that Benelli had asked Pro Mag to make this part given all the import restrictions on the original factory model. I also pointed out to him about the 4 position mistake and he was going to look into getting that info changed. If this thing is the real deal, the OEM C-stock market just went belly up. Quote

Hey, at least I dont have to wait 9 weeks for this order, it should ship fairly quick ! I just hope my wife doesnt find out !! YIKES!! Edited October 29, 2012 by Zeke Quote

If I didn't already have a factory unit I'd be all over it at that price, just to see for myself. The Pro-Mag aspect bothers me, but if they somehow managed to strike a deal with Benelli that would be a coup. $178 is a heck of a deal. Can't wait to see the first review by someone who has a factory stock on hand for a side by side comparison. BTW, anyone know what that little hole in the pistol grip (directly aft of the trigger) is for? I know now. lol Quote

It now states "3 position collapsible aluminum butt stock with rubber recoil pad replaces fixed stock on Beneli M4 shotguns." Quote
TKTM Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 if you have ever owned pro mag stuff you know quality sucks! Maybe a quality TAPCO product will be next. Quote
StrangerDanger Posted October 30, 2012 Author Posted October 30, 2012 If Benelli is involved, I'm betting they're nearly identical besides maybe some markings. They may simply be assembling the Benelli parts here in the US. Quote
