Wow, I can't belive I haven't updated this thread. I ended up getting a used HK Import M1s90 @ a Gander Mtn. like I said, just fell in my lap! Damned thing looked like it'd barely been fired....I've since fixed that. I did end up having to sell my 8-shot Auto5 to fund it, but rationalized I'd rarely shoot the thing once I got the Benelli. It went to a good home where it resides with other Auto5s. I got the Benelli this spring. Here she is.

I shot her in the shotgun match @ Knob Creek this spring and had a great time, also picked up a 14" barrel there too for SBS stamp! I've added a DMW ext and safety, Nordic bolt handle & mag support. She's just about perfect, I have a Nordic bolt release, just not sure if I want it on the gun yet. Now I'm also in need of a 21" barrel for 3-gun.......
