KiloEcho6 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Purchased a second set of handguards to stipple with a bit more of a mature/M1-ish layout, while preserving the originals. Apparently the “NEW” handguards purchased were of an older iteration, because they would not fit, as the mold did not have the notch for the barrel indexing collar. I fit the handguard and no one would be the wiser. Added a match saver, having to counter sink the nut to avoid piston contact. It worked well, but in hindsight, I wish I would have stuck to Velcro, given acceptance of Velcro as an accepted means for side saddles. Anyone know when Benelli transitioned to the use of the barrel indexing collar? These are a little more sheen compared to a more matte finish on current GEN…. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zestubo Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Did you have to shorten the included screw at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangerDanger Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Nice work on that countersunk threaded body. I've done a few of those and it can be a bitch working around the ARGO housing. The polymer isn't real thick right there, so its hard to countersink and still have enough material for the screw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
