Custom work on Benelli

[esskay]

Esskay,
Excellent that was exactly what I needed to see. I can definitely see dehorning the loading area and modifing the carrier so you don't waste your thumb. I imagine they refinish the receiver after the modifications?
I think I will contact them and see what they could do for my old S-90.
It's part of my own personal stimulus plan.

Ah, "dehorning" that was the word I was searching for...

Actually, most of the ones I've seen they haven't refinished the receiver, so you should definitely ask about that.

When they bevel the loading port they leave it polished.

Hi again guys... Thank you very much for the replies. Benny Hill was the name I was looking for. I shot in a 3-gun match this last weekend using a police 870... The Rem 1100 guys and the Benelli guys were so much faster. In talking to them, they all recommended Benny Hill for the Benelli.

I haven't decided which way is the better way to go for 3-gun, either a Remington 1100, or Benelli M2. I'm also a bit torn between 12 and 20 ga if it's only for competition.

Buying the 1100 will only raise the price of the Benelli you will end up with.

For 3 gun?
Benelli. M1S90 or an M2
End of story.

I use my ole M1 as a hunting gun too. Kinda makes other shotguns obsolete. From heavy 3 inch mags to light target loads, it just keeps on ticking.

I started with a 1100 (used and for a good price) Randy is speaking the truth. I don't have Benelli money nor do I shoot 3 gun enough so I ended up with a Mossberg 930, but the Remington wouldn't run right enough to compete with.

Some good info in this thread, I have a M1 bought back in 2004 ish that Id like to mod. It works great but if I could run it on light loads and get rid of the M1 thumb it would be great.

Out of curiosity, what is Benelli Thumb? I've never noticed anything with my M1S90, but then again, I only use mine for trap/skeet/target shooting - no 3 gun or competition. I can't imagine it's anything like M1 Garand thumb.

It happens when you're loading and the carrier comes back which traps your thumb. If you're not paying attention and pull your hand out, you'll have a Benelli Thumb.
