Shotgun Set-up

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know what the specs were for Tom Knapp's shotgun? He always said that it was taken right off the shelf, added a magazine extension and new sights.

Where can one find an OEM magazine extension to get you to 10 rounds and what length barrel did he shoot (26"?)? What hi-visability sights did he use?

Not that I would ever be a Tom Knapp but setting a shotgun up the same would be a good start.

 

Also are OEM magazine extension available for a Benelli M1 20 gauge?

 

Thanks

Pat

He used just about every Benelli there was at one time or another. Not sure that there was a 10 round OEM extension. He probably used an aftermarket for that. Barrel length? Probably 26 or 28. Don't know for sure. This is his table from 2003. It's a mix of M1, M3, SBE, Nova, and others. Knapp038_zps613b5c6f.jpg~original His fiber optic sights are EasyHit. They were sold on his website. Here, they're on a SBE2 in 2005.Knapp-Tallahassee05184_zps53980cd6.jpg~original OEM mag extensions for the 20 ga. M1 show up on GunBroker now and then.

Champion Easyhit front sights on both his new CZs and the old Benellis

 

Tube extension(s) I'd have to call and ask a guy, but you could do the same with customer service at CZ/Benelli or Tom's site probably.

It appears that Tom is using an extension as opposed to replacing the factory magazine tube with a 9-shot OEM tube. It also appears to be Benelli facotry OEM, judging from the look in the photo.

 

I am using a HiViz front sight but this one looks to be better for hunting.....more functional.

 

Does anyone have experience with RCI magazine tubes as an alternate to Benelii OEM? It does not appear that Benelli magazine tubes or extensions are available (unless on the secondary used market)?

 

Does anyone have a source for Benelli OEM 9 shot factory magazine tubes or extensions to get the magazine capacity up to 9 rounds (10 total unless ghost loading).

 

Thanks

Pat
