Milspec Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 It's interesting how everyone is tapping out the gas plug pins. When I compressed the springs my pins just fell out. No tapping needed. Maybe I compressed the spring more or perhaps it was due to the lack of carbon build up? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Probably depends on your tool the most. There isn't much room in there for error and misalignment is easy to happen. Since each pin is machined at each end to allow the pin to be captured under the spring tension. Like if you tried to drive the pin out without removing the spring tension, you'd probably damage the body of the ARGO plug. If you over compressed the post, the same would happen where the pin would be captive again just at the other side of the pin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benelliwerkes Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) Modify your firearm in good faith. Screw the fine print on 922R as I have yet to see a real incident report of a common citizen being legally cited for an infraction of said regulation.....standing by to review of any legally prosecuted instant cases. IF however you live under a rock and are found to be in possession of cocaine in weight exceeding your shot shell magazine capacity and a firearm that has had its serial number defaced with a hard piece of crack, some zealous prosecutor will use said infraction to pursue such scumbags for a 3-strikes-and-they're-out case over the top and put them away. Just sayin'. Edited November 6, 2020 by benelliwerkes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doge Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 Testing this out: Much more easy to service. 1.5mm (or 1/16") punch to remove the capture ring. Before you ask; I have already ran numbers on making an integrated stop inside the hole. Much more expensive to cut and inspect, so still sticking with the steel ring as per original.

StrangerDanger Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 That should work fine. When I modify existing extensions to remove that flexible ring, I notch the front of the tube rather than disturb the threads.

Milspec Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Is there a reason to remove this ring besides refinishing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangerDanger Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I don't even pull them when plating. They just plate right over them. The only reason I have had to remove them is when we used to get 3 position receiver extensions that didn't have any internal parts. So taking one out of the neutered model was difficult. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doge Posted January 4, 2021 Author Share Posted January 4, 2021 Huh, I was under the impression they removed the ring before plating. Today I learned... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombstone Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Hi, Will you make more of the 5 position tubes? I’d be really interested… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doge Posted July 24, 2021 Author Share Posted July 24, 2021 No. Got too expensive unless I ordered like 100+ tubes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 You’d probably sell every one of them within four months at a profit. Good to see you back on. Really loving that ARGO disassembly tool you sent me. What used to be a pain in the ass is now a simple task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would order one. shipping world wide theres a lot of people with money that spare no expense on their stuff. look at what c-stocks are going for and the waiting list. I would think a 100 tubes would be gone in no time at whatever your price point would be. Just look at what FFT sells them for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave some away to my friends and they liked it too.? I just just returned from overseas so haven't been here as often. 2 hours ago, StupidManThing said: Either way, it's a really cool idea. Maybe you could patent it and sell the idea to a company that would be able to invest $10,000+ without taking an enormous risk. I saw these on ebay a few months back for $400+ and I almost bought one until Benelli parts had one for $200 that I bought. I got a notification from Midwest Gun Works a few days ago that they were in stock and within minutes, they'd sold out again. The demand is definitely there but there's no telling how long that will last and when the supply/prices will return to a level where you'd probably be losing money to sell yours. The issue I'd have with seeing a 5 position tube is that one of those already exists for the Supernova and I'd probably pass it up assuming that was what you were selling without even looking closer. I am hoping FFT or Benelli themselves comes out with one so I don't hafta do all the work. ? Speaking of which I had to answer a few emails about M3 receiver tubes, so here's a guide: 61634 fits the newest M3s and Supernovas. The newest M3s have the rounded receiver. It can also be fitted on a M2 (which I have done). 70136 fits on the newest M4A1 and the prior gen M3s (most notably those sold to New Zealand). The difference between this tube and 61634 is that the notches are pushed back about 6mm and the threads are longer by 5mm. If you use you the wrong tube it will leave a big gap or you will lose the shortest position. Easiest way to tell is that there is a 5th dimple for 70136. There is also a 3rd tube that can be removed completely, but those are quite uncommon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doge Posted September 22, 2021 Author Share Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) Got my stock limiter cut. Can fit on either types of recoil tubes. I am gonna leave it raw metal so it is pretty obvious the stock can't go down. Also have this getting 3D metal printed to slip on the top gun: Edited September 22, 2021 by Doge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
