c.joe Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hi everyone, Just picked up a Benelli M2 Tactical! Quick question on removing the 3 shot hunting plug/regulator, which piece do I leave in to keep the spring in place? So far the middle piece (shown in picture) seems to work best. Please let me know if I did it correctly. Also, any common modifications that is a must? Thank you, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creeper Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Also, any common modifications that is a must? Thank you, Chris Common mods? Common kinda depends on your personal level of practical vs. tacti-cool. Most fit an aftermarket higher capacity mag tube... and sometimes a better follower. Nordic, DMW and Briley are the popular higher quality pieces. Some will fit a larger bolt handle, a larger slide release button or DMW "speedbar". Lots of styles and makers here... your call. If the stock is too long, The Mesa Tactical "Urbino" PG stock is nearly 2" shorter. If you don't like PG, MT will be coming out with a Urbino type straight stock... "project apache", in the next 6 months. Other options are a 1913 rail if you want to mount some sort of holo/reflex sight. Mesa Tactical. A barrel/mag clamp if you want to mount a light. Nordic is a good one. Night sights. A few makers. Side saddles. Several makers with varying quality and fitment methods. Modifications to the receiver for faster loading, including modified lifters to prevent "thumb pinch" if you have that problem. C-Rums, Accurate Iron, Wheaton Arms and Taran Tactical are a few 'smith services that support 3-gun competitors. That's about all I got... there's other stuff you can do, but no point in overloading your new "M2T brain" just yet. Cheers, C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Placid Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I used the part on the far right (manual calls it the retaining ring) in the end of the tube. Same way it came from the factory with the plug installed. I will have to try the other part as a end and see how it fits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truckcop Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 That's actually the limiter retaining ring. It allows easy removal/replacement of the limiter. The cup-shaped part is the magazine tube plug and is the correct piece to go into the tube as the front magazine spring retainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
