dilligaf Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Looking to purchase a used benelli shotgun and I wanted some insight on the ARMI ASP. Can anyone help me, is this a good all around gun? Quote
dilligaf Posted August 23, 2006 Author Posted August 23, 2006 Hey Tucker! What does roll eyes mean! Quote
tucker301 Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Benelli Armi Spa is the Italian name of the company, not a model. Quote
dilligaf Posted August 25, 2006 Author Posted August 25, 2006 Is there a way to determine what model this gun is, I have no info and there is no info, just the gun itself. Bear with me and give an archery hunter some help! Quote
Duggan Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 Aha. Well, is it a pump, or is it an auto? Does it have a pistol grip? Does the barrel look long, or is it a short barrel? Does it have ghost ring sights or rifle sights? Is there a rail on the top of the receiver? Quote
dilligaf Posted August 25, 2006 Author Posted August 25, 2006 Hey Duggan It is an auto. It does not have a pistol grip. It has a 26 3/4 barrel from the bigining of the receiver to the end. It has only the one round sight at the end of the barrel. It has an etched receiver with 8 etched lines running the length of the reciever. On the barrel it has Canonnrie Manufrance Cal 12 Sainte-Etienne. The etching appears to be on a silver inlay and I blieve the gun is approximately 13 yrs old Quote
dilligaf Posted August 25, 2006 Author Posted August 25, 2006 Hey Duggan It appears that this barrel does not accept chokes, is there any way to modify a barrel to accept them? Quote
Duggan Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 Sure, any decent gunsmith can do that for you. I have no idea what shotgun that is. You're at the mercy of google/other people on this forum for that one. Quote
tucker301 Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 A French Benelli. This can't be good. It will probably cower and run away when the birds flush Quote
dilligaf Posted August 26, 2006 Author Posted August 26, 2006 Anyone but tucker have anything to add! I get the impression he doesn't know anything about this gun so he is attempting humor! Quote
dilligaf Posted August 26, 2006 Author Posted August 26, 2006 I guess I'm in the wrong place! Now its all about where I live! Thanks for the help Duggan, you were at least polite and honest! Quote
dilligaf Posted August 26, 2006 Author Posted August 26, 2006 I guess anyone can have the top posts award when they post nothing but non-helpful comments!! Look I, allready at 8 or 9 now. I think a lot of members are getting tuckered of dumb comments!! Quote
tucker301 Posted August 26, 2006 Posted August 26, 2006 Try to get a picture of the gun and post it to shotgunworld.com in the Gun ID and Value section I don't care where you live. I was making fun of the gun, and of France. I believe France is in Europe, eh. (now there, I was making fun of where you live) There is no award, or if there is, they mailed it to the wrong place.

mudhen Posted August 26, 2006 Posted August 26, 2006 How 'bout a photo dumb arse What did Benelli say when you gave them the serial #? Sounds like a frenchie gun - does it have a little white flag logo on it? Does it have a handle on the barrel so the Nazis could take it from the cowering frog easier? It taint a Benelli is my guess mudhen - CA Quote
dilligaf Posted August 26, 2006 Author Posted August 26, 2006 Got your attention eh! Thanks for the advise guys! Does Benelli have an e-mail address? Mudhen, the guns in pretty good shape exept for the swastika carved in the wood !! HA HA !! Would they have been getting the French to manufacture the barells back 13 years ago? Because it has ARMI BENELLI SPA etched on one side and MADE IN URBINO ITALY on the other. I'll try and link a photo soon... Quote
tucker301 Posted August 26, 2006 Posted August 26, 2006 Yes, Benelli has several e-mail addresses, but you're not getting them from me. You've already annoyed enough people on this forum. No sense in letting it spread any further. Best guess - you're looking at a French receiver with a Benelli brand or Benelli made barrel. More than likely, it's crap. Quote
dilligaf Posted August 26, 2006 Author Posted August 26, 2006 I didn't know that Benelli made crap! I made reference to the barell having a french stamp on it, not the receiver. If anyone besides Tucker has the e-mail address for an area of Benelli that could help me out, could you please let me know! Then I won't annoy President Tucker anymore, that is if he does't speak for everyone! Quote
dilligaf Posted August 26, 2006 Author Posted August 26, 2006 1 call to a friend that knows a little something about guns tells me that it is a SL123V from the SL80 series purchased directly from Italy. Bye Bye!! Quote
Full Bore Posted August 26, 2006 Posted August 26, 2006 Glad to see you still may or may not know what you are looking at. 30 seconds in my Blue Book of Gun Values I would have told you the same. Your description of the gun was very vague even after being questioned further. Kind of like I have a car with 4 wheels can anybody tell me what model it is. Seems you should have called your friend long ago. Tucker and others do not speak for everyone but they will say what others won't. They did try to help you even with the limited info and no picture you provided. I believe the advise was free. C-YA Tucker you seemed to have stepped on a little french toes here. Shame Shame. Quote
