    new to me m2

    Was about to get an m3 for $1150 nib from an individual.
    There was an m4 on arfcom, guy was local, but he wouldnt come off $1400.
    chose this, at Tomball pawn. $920 otd.
    Its got a few light safe scuffs

    Already ordered a nordic comp +3 with the clamp that has a small rail section I want to add a light to.
    Not really crazy about the oversize fore-ends with integral lights.
    Besides a shitload of ammo idk what else it really needs????

    Maybe a lazer sight. You have to have seen them, the ones with nine separate beams, one for each pellet. Or you can combine the beams to form one large beam for shooting slugs.

    Seriously, I would look at a sling. That may be too obvious, but you never know.

    Congrats Phil. Don't know much about this particular shotgun other than I kinda like the way it looks. Not sure what else it needs except spending time with you at the range.

    I like it... A little pricey compared to VEPR and Saiga shotguns.....

    I've heard those are the best shooting shotguns around. Never had the pleasure of handling one, but they sure look nice. Congrats to you.

    I love Benellis!


    Congrats man!

    I would suggest an oversized charging handle and a oversized bolt release.


    A lot of guys complain about the LOP on Benellis (I am one of 'em) there is a mod out there to shorten the buttstock a bit....but if you screw it up, a new buttstock isn't cheap (which is why I haven't done it to my M3)
    Here's to pussy and gunpowder. One to live for, the other to die by.....Goddamn though, I do love the smell of 'em both !!!

    Had the pleasure of shooting it the other day at marskman indoor range in stinkadena tejas. (caliente has prolly been there)
    brought some bird shot lowbrass from walmart. Handicap heavy, whatever that is. Brought some buck of course.
    Only shot the birdshot as that caused my hurt finger enough pain. Switched to left side rapid fire at the hip.
    Ran just fine, hammered them out as fast as I could a rifle.
    Extension got here. 8 shot now

    Looking fwd to shooting some hot stuff

    Don't think I would. The Franchis looked neat but are less than stone reliable, more complicated than necessary and a little delicate IMHO... Now parts are a problem...
