Benelli M1 Super 90

I bought 2 100 packs of this and it did not cycle well in my Browning Gold hunter.

Edbon did not mind he shot it up with his Beretta.

Regarding the Benelli M1 Super 90 and light loads.

The answer, in my experience, is that it depends...

The older models really needed heavier loads to cycle reliably. Those made more recently, since the past 10 years or so, are more tolerant of light loads. The older models had a heavy steel op rod in the buffer tube assembly (in the stock) which would not cycle light loads. The more recent manufacture units have a lighter op rod.

These newer models with the lighter op rod, usually cycle high velocity 1 oz loads reliably, as long as you have the weapon tightly in your shoulder and you don't have alot of accessories hanging off your weapon (changes the mass of the weapon).

1-1/4 oz loads usually cycle all models of the M1S90, whether old or new models.

The M1S90 is rather susceptible to short cycling, when lots of accessories are hung on them, since the extra mass consumes some of the recoil energy. That's why Benelli developed the M4 model, recoil operated with gas assist.

Can I tell how old my shot gun is, just by my serial number?

I know mine is old- it's marked 'HK'

It is borderline 'pre-ban' from 1994, as if there is still such a thing.

m1 rebarrel

Anyone know whats involved in rebarreling? Is it as easy as a Remy, or or there pressing involved?

Very similar to 870 with a little more wiggling to get everything in the right place but only a couple minutes to change after the first time.

i got an older police trade in 1201fp... and it has not had a failure with a multitude of light stuff...

(have an extrapower wolf spring, but did not install it as she functions so perfectly now)...
