SBE walnut stock

[southpawshooter]

2 questions -

 

1) Does the Benelli recoil reducer fit into the wood stock as the stock comes? Can it be installed without a gunsmith or, is there some modifications or drilling?

 

2) I read somewhere that a shop has discontinued selling SBE's with walnut forends due to cracking. Anyone have experience, good or bad?

 

Thanks

1) no, the merc. reducer does not fit into the wood stock with modification.

 

2) i have heard that rumor to but i believe it is just that.

 

good luck

I don't know about the walnut stock, but i do know that if you have a left handed SBE, you can't get a walnut stock "from benelli" anyway, you can get a knock off and that is it.

I have been shooting my walnut stock for several years w/no problem. One of my hunting friends has had to replace his walnut stock. I just bought a new Browning Gold fusion and had to send it back to Browning after the first hunt because of a broken stock at the reciever.

Your friend's stock that cracked - was it the forend on a SBE?

 

Thanks
