Benelli (HK Import) M3 Super 90 M155400 and Above Magazine Tube

Hi All,

Does anyone know where a replacement magazine tube can be purchased from? I've tried Benelli USA already as well as Midwest Gun Works. Either nobody sells them or they were not blued to match the OEM finish.

Thanks...

Thanks Steve, unfortunately the finish (originial on right) is different. I spoke with Benelli and they mentioned that the tube on the left was going to be all I could find on places like Numrich, MGW, or another parts distributor. At least, unless it was already finished and taken off to be replaced by an aftermarket tube. I'm still not sure why the tube length is slightly different either. I appreciate the links though in case the customer wants to go with something like cerakote or a refinish.

There were different length tubes in that era. I used to have a pistol gripped HK era M3T and its magazine was slightly different - I think around 1/4-1/2" different than my pair of M3T folding stock models which do have other differences as well such as barrel rear sight locations and actual sights along with obviously the stock. 

I don't think I have any remaining pictures of the pistol gripped M3, but it looked a lot like my M1.

It almost seems like there might be two different threads for the mag tubes though I may be thinking of the threads for the bolt that holds the stock
