garrett Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I am curious why the shell lifter on my M2 has a notch in it towards the magazine end - all it seems to do is catch my thumb and smash it if I am not careful when loading. I've seen some people weld this shut. I am just curious if it serves any purpose, such as permitting a cable-type receiver lock to be passed through the slot... that's the only thing I can think of it would be intended for. I never had this problem with the Nova model... Thanks Here's a sample of what it looks like: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garrett Posted August 24, 2006 Author Share Posted August 24, 2006 Hi Duggan - yes, I saw your great pics and enjoyed reading that! Do you know why there's a slot there? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudhen Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I'm only guessing, but it looks like it allows the rounded case head to to go lower for easier mag loading. Good question for Benelli CS! mudhen - CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoser Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 That pic sure looks like one I have seen before... in fact, it looks like a Supersport I used to own. From what I understand, not only is it good for tearing out fingernails, but it helps "guide" the round in chamber. However, this mod below allow you to keep your fingernails and it still feeds.

benny365 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 where did you get that lifter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggan Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 A guy custom makes them. If you search around on here, you'll find an old link to his contacts. That is, if he is still making them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjm Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 The guy's name is Jeff Cockrum. Info from his card C-RUMS 1924 S Farm Road 241 Rogersville, MO 65742 Orders only 877 520 5127 Phone/fax 417 753 2707 He made one for me. Works well. Nice guy. I have forgotten the price. I believe it was reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoser Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Jeff doesent make them, he just welds up your existing lifter. I sent him my lifter and maybe $30. Within a week it was back. I recommend Jeff Cockrum, Jerry Harp (of Browning Gold fame) and Benny Hill highly for their work on Benellis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
