Shortening the Benelli Tactical Stock – a la Ned Christiansen

[flyfishdave]

Thank you all for the positive comments.

Since many have contacted me already to buy my leftover parts, I thought I'd extend the same offers to others:

Because I had to buy obscene minimum quantities of pins, screws and inserts, I have extra parts available for sale, at cost.

So, to complete one (1) stock, you will need:

one (1) 3/16" - 1 3/8" roll pin
one (1) 3/16" - 1 1/2" roll pin
one (1) 10-32, 33/64" insert w/ flange
one (1) 10-32, 33/64" insert w/o flange
two (2) 10-32, 7/8" SS cap screws

ALL of the above comes to 65 cents. Just add a pad of your choice, some epoxy, some drill bits and power tools. USPS shipping is more than the parts @ 4.60

PM me if you are interested.

Dave.

If you are interested in doing another stock, I would gladly pay you to do mine. I have been wanting to get my stock cut on my M1 for several years now.

Good work.

I'd pay you too...

I did my M1S90 a year ago, and have been doing friends benelli's since. Notice the lack of screws on the outside Rock Solid and no issues.

Here's the one I did for JasonR


Finishing up a Desert SuperNova at the moment.

Nice job there!

I'm a belt & suspenders type guy so figured the extra security of using roll pins to secure the insert (in addition to the epoxy) would be well worth it. Glad to hear your mod is holding fast and true.

[noctis]

Thanks, you too.

The modification really does it make it much easier to drop into a proper shooting position.

When I put my fitted wooden anchors in, notches are made on the circumference to allow the epoxy to fill in and hold it tight.

Take Care,

Noctis,

I have a Benelli M2 shorttie that I'm getting in a couple of weeks.

I'd like to get the factory pistol grip stock shortened when I get it.

Are you for hire?

The quality of the work on the stock is outstanding.

OK, I need to get another factory pistol grip stock for the M2 tactical so I can cut it down.

I'd like to pick up a used pistol grip stock off Ebay to use in the shortening project, and you generally see way more M1 stuff than M2.

So this raises the question:

Do the M1 series of stocks, straight or pistol grip, fit the M2?

[Nick S]

M1 and M2 stocks are NOT interchangeable. Its too bad because the M2 Comfort-Tech Stock is nice and has modular buttpads in 3 different sizes that can reduce the LOP a fair amount and does reduce felt recoil....
