Dan Sierpina Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Before I get the "Call Benny" replies, I'd like to know what are the most common modifications being done to Benelli's. I know about the lightened bolt, of course a mag extension, but not much others. It's an M2 field that's on order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Sierpina Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share Posted August 11, 2006 (edited) I thnk the most effective and common mod is to call Benny. Merlin, I expected as much from you! I do plan on talking to Benny, when the gun gets here, and I try it for a box or so of shells. Edited August 11, 2006 by Dan Sierpina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chp5 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Some modify the load gate to avoid the "Benelli thumb." My M1S90 is completely stock and runs like a top. I rarely clean it. I do plan to send it to Benny to get the stock shortened about an inch though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.40AET Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 It's an M2 field that's on order. I bought the same thing a few months ago. I picked up an extended tube from Benny and it's been running great. The carrier needs some help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Orr Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 (edited) Some modify the load gate to avoid the "Benelli thumb." Lower outside edge of receiver and center areas of gate polished to remove sharp edges. Edited August 11, 2006 by Merlin Orr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmut Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Before I get the "Call Benny" replies, I'd like to know what are the most common modifications being done to Benelli's. I know about the lightened bolt, of course a mag extension, but not much others. It's an M2 field that's on order. Here is what I did to mine..... 1. Mod the Carrier (no more benelli thumb) 2. Take .5lbs off the bolt...still using the stock recoil spring. 3. Throat out (ramp it) the mag entrance. 4. Take off all the sharp edges of the lower side of the receiver, for loading. 5. 8 shot tube (running a choked 18.5inch barrel with ghost rings). 6. Trigger job. 7. Installed a lighter weight charging handle. 8. Installed oversize bolt release. It runs like a screaming ape. I just like messing with stuff like this...... Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malak Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Merlin's attached photo shows ya whacha need... tactical charging handle oversized bolt release button side saddle oversized saftey button trigger job better (longer) fiberoptic front sight cut to the length you like and rechoke an extension tube with a GOOD barrel band flare the shell opening so you don't bleed (as much) lighten the bolt some grip tape have the shot gun fitted to you with the shims that it comes with That is what I know of...
