wfjones99 Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 Hello all: Just joined this forum. I certainly like the look of the products that Benelli has to offer. Asking for a moment of your time to help me better understand the Nova accessories. I like the fact that the Nova Slug Gun receiver is already tapped to mount a scope rail - as stated by Benelli. Then I read that the use of a slug barrel requires a special Nova fore-end. As Benelli states: >>Slug barrels require a modified fore-end sold >>separately. So then, if I buy a Nova Slug gun - already with rifled barrel and correct fore-end - to start, I'll be able to mount a single scope directly on the pre-tapped receiver - independent of the barrel installed. Then I'd plan to buy just a regular Nova smoothbore barrel accessory to use sometimes on this one Nova receiver-with- scope. My thought is to install just the one EOTECH permanently on the receiver for both slug and shot. Here is the question... Will this all work with no hidden surprises? Will the one special-for-slug-barrel fore-end also support the smoothbore barrel? Or will I still need to purchase a second special-for-smoothbore fore-end to work with the extra smoothbore barrel? Hope this makes sense. I think I am better off to avoid the cantilevered barrel approach all together. What is my best path here? Can I make all this work out correctly with no need to modify standard Benelli factory parts? Thanks for your time. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallhanger54 Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 Think you read it wrong. Thats not for the Nova but for the M1, M2, SBE 1&2. Nova only needs changing the barrel. The modified forend is only for them, not the Nova. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
