cjmj26 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) Hello all- I am new to Benelli shotguns, having recently gotten an HK/Benelli m3 Super 90. I'm planning on using this weapon as my entry gun at work(I work in Law Enforcement, on an entry team). However, I have two questions: --First, do they offer a shortened LOP stock for this weapon? --Second, being that this was a used gun, I want to replace the magazine spring-just to "spif" it up. I know that the magazine is (or almost is) permanently attached to the receiver, how does one change the spring in it? Pictures would be GREATLY appreciated, as I'm new to this platform! Thanks again for the help in advance...I think I'm really going to like this weapon! Edited January 18, 2014 by cjmj26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vertigofirearms Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Yes, you have 2 options: DIY sawing and pad fitting or you could try the Mesa Tacitcal. But for the Urbino Stock, you need to select the M1 (despite it says M1/M2 which can not interchange) This is another option, but you need to get a machine shop to custom make the receiver tube to the smaller threads. For the Magazine tube, saw off the plastic slide support then use a heat gun to remove the Loxeal or a strong solvent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjmj26 Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 I called Benelli; and they told me there's some sort of retaining clip that holds in the spring--that can be removed without taking off the magazine tube...Any truth to that? Also-I think I'll go the Mesa Tactical route-Those collapsible stocks look AWESOME, but that's a little too involved for me...Anyone else have any experience with these issues?

Vertigofirearms Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 BenelliUSA Corp. is correct, but it only applies if you DO NOT have the magazine end cap. The magazine end cap functions exactly as it sounds; a cap to capture the magazine spring inside the tube. The retaining clip is used to hold the limiter plug, but can also be used temporarily to capture the magazine spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjmj26 Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) I don't know if mine is like that or not--I don't think I have a magazine end cap. Can you post pictures of the difference between the two? Or perhaps talk me through how to post pictures of mine (sorry-I'm not very computer literate...) I do know that it's not like my old Remington setup, with a NC extended magazine...This is just one piece...hope that helps Edited January 19, 2014 by cjmj26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjmj26 Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 Also-is the Urbino M1 stock supposed to be a direct fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vertigofirearms Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 yes, M3, Super Black Eagle, Black Eagle, M1, and Montefeltro (vintage) share the same rear buttstock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjmj26 Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 Ok-Thanks!! Going back to the magazine spring question--can you go a bit more in-depth (step by step)? This platform is new to me; sorry for my lack of knowledge... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
