SouthPhillyKnight Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Does having the loading port professional modified hurt the resale value of a shotgun? I have grown up shooting but have never competed. I recently inherited a Benelli M2 and was thinking about giving 3-Gun a try. If it turns out 3-Gun isn’t my thing I will most likely look to sell/trade the M2 to acquire another firearm. So back to my question, if I have the port professional opened up by an experienced gunsmith, would it hurt its value? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
021411 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Depends on if the buyer is a 3 gunner themselves and see the value of a shotgun that is already opened up. Saves them the hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babue Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 If you are new to trying the 3-gun game, I would just leave the gun as is until you run a few matches and see if you like them. You can load two now and get the port opened up and quad load later with the right caddies. I ran my first 6 or 8 matches with my Vang Comp 1100. I was way slower than most everyone but learned the game and then decided to invest in a more tricked out gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthPhillyKnight Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share Posted July 21, 2019 Thanks for the input. I have already implemented a few of the non-invasive mods such as a larger safety, an extended lifter, larger bolt release button, and extended mag tube. I will give it a shot and go from there.

louu Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Just send the receiver and tube to https://moaprecisionllc.com/ for 125 bucks it's a no brainer and it's done right. Call them first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
