MOGC Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 I have two Benelli M1's, one an older model that allows me to ride a shell on the carrier, the other a newer M1 that doesn't let you ghost a shell on top of the carrier. As I understand it the only difference between the two is a little lug or some such on the bottom of the bolt. One has a rounded surface, the other a sharper more abrupt angle that prevents a shell from laying on the carrier with the bolt closed over it. After thinking about this, is there any reason a guy couldn't swap bolts between the guns? Barrels swap out, trigger assemblies could be exchanged - why not the bolt? The M1 that allows ghosting of the extra round is a camo dipped turkey gun. I don't need the extra abilities there, the gun has a three shot plug anyway, no biggie. My other M1 is a Tactical Model, this one could use the ability to ride a round on the carrier to maintain capacity while in the "cruiser safe" mode. Quote
M1014 Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 there is no reason you why cannot swap M1 to M1 bolts,I've done it and fired the weapon without any problems,, Quote
cmshoot Posted October 20, 2007 Posted October 20, 2007 Where is that thread on modifying your bolt to allow the extra round? Can't find it. Quote

JEFFRO67 Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 unless your just clay shooting you better watch it. besides voiding the warranty you might get a big fat ticket or worse lose your gun to the conservation police if you get checked. Quote
MOGC Posted October 21, 2007 Author Posted October 21, 2007 The Tactical Model isn't for clay shooting or hunting migratory waterfowl. It has a purpose and the number of rounds all up isn't an issue. In fact, the more the better... Quote
M1014 Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 ro67 isn't living up to his handle,,a real super stock guy knows better than to mix tactical and claying around Quote
