[Benelli M1 or M2 Which to get?]

Good to know about the barrel swaping w/ forearm, and kurtm that definatly answered my questions. The M1 seems like the way to go for me, thanks for the help.

[Benelli M1 or M2 Which to get?]

I was looking around and thinking about picking up a used Benelli M1 or M2 to set up for 3 gun. I was on Nordic's website and it looks like they share a magazine extension and bolt handle, Which leaves me with a few questions:

1. Are other parts (stocks,barrels,etc) interchangable between the models?

2. Were there any major issues with the M1 that were fixed by moving to the M2?

3. For $700 or a little less for low mileage looking M1's does it seem worth it or just get the M2?

Thanks in advance for you help
