polipino888 Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Hello All: I realize this might be a long-shot, but before I explore getting the part " one-off " reproduced ( an expensive option ) I thought I'd ask. I have a Benelli M1-121 ( I know some fellow forum members own and enjoy them...they are cool. ) that I am bringing back to 100% condition ( not very loved by its previous owner...but very worthwile to restore. ) Besides the fact that almost EVERY part of this older model is hard to find...some shop-monkey pulled the often executed but unforgivable crime of putting a pair of pliers to the fore-end cap ( open top variant to accept the longer mag. tube... ) I mean, it is really bunged-up. Unacceptable. Anyway...I was wondering if anyone knew if the threaded open top fore-end cap for a Benelli M1 super 90 ( the M1-121's 1st cousin... ) would fit and function on the Benelli M1-121. I figure I would rather have a factory part that fit, albeit from a different vintage. Thanks in advance for any help or advice... Also..if anyone knows where to score parts for this model ( M1-121 ) I would be all ears... Brownells & Numrich have a limited selection...but them's the breaks. Thanks again...

polipino888 Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 Hey...Thanks for the good news! Besides the fore-end cap...I am looking for a factory butt-plate... I'm glad the threading for the fore-end cap is the same...I will still look for a factory 121 replacement but if my hand is forced...I think there would be greater evils than utilizing M1 Super 90 parts in a pinch. Good for you on the SWEET NIB find...kinda rare...and very under-rated. I think the reason why you don't see so many of the plain & mean M1-121's is that they are still on Police arsenal racks and in prison gun rooms... I will post pics once she's off the ventilator... (restored) thanks again.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M1014 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Yes I agree,,the Benelli 121 M1 is underrated,,out of the box it will command respect just like the Super90,,I love'm,, [ 02-27-2006, 02:28 PM: Message edited by: M1014 ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
