aviatrix Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) Had one on order at EuroOptics since last August and latest from them/Benelli is they don't know when, if ever. Edited March 28, 2013 by aviatrix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhill Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Better off buying a M2 or Versamax and having a custom shop do the work for you. Cheaper too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aviatrix Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) Better off buying a M2 or Versamax and having a custom shop do the work for you. Cheaper too. True. I wound up buying a VersaMax. Originally thought it would be easier and faster to order the M2 3 Gun, it just didn't work out that way. If it was discontinued, I've still got a delivery position for non-existant product and need to see about a refund.

dhill Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Versamax is a great shotgun. Shoot one myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunCat Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Did Benelli ever actually “import” a 3 Gun ready model? (For some reason I always thought Benelli had Benny / Derek at TSS building their “3 Gun” model) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeke013 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 i thought the M2 3 gun version had been discontinue a several months back. That would surprise me - they displayed them at SHOT. Then again, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benny hill Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 We built all the 3-gum ones for benelli and will again maybe if they get their extensions worked out, meanwhile we can build you one just like it or better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oSPANNERo Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 (edited) At the risk and pain of being "that" n00b who necro's an old thread... I recently purchased one of the 3-Gun editions on gunbroker and noticed it, and two or three others I saw, didn't come with the extension despite the Benelli site saying it should. (http://bit.ly/1add7p4) So I did some searching and that is how I ended up here. So... Mr. @Benny Hill says "if they get their extensions worked out", I am assuming this *might* give a reason for the discrepancy. Is there any chance that if I ask nicely I could get more clarification on if I am just missing something very obvious or if there was some sort of legal/corporate/technical blocker that caused the change?

wmiller11 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 My understanding is it is with the atf and importing high cap foreign weapons. For instance benelli sells extended mag tubes for the vinci yet they werent allowed to import due to atf restrictions. Thanks to rci for making one!

oSPANNERo Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 (edited) Interesting, I had seen other articles talking about similar problems but I figured since the shotgun had already been in the country to have the 3-gun custom work done *AND* using Nordic tube extensions (which are US based IIRC) it wouldn't be an issue since that would be compliant with 922®. Ah well... does make me want to aggravate Benelli's customer service once I have the shotgun in hand since they haven't updated their marketing materials.

To reduce the foreign part count the unextended mag tube has to come out and a US one-piece tube has to go in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oSPANNERo Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Interesting and sucky at the same time... ah well. Guess I will just keep hawking the Nordic site for when the +5 MXT kits are available again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
