Shorter stock for Benelli M2? (Finished w/ pics!)

[021411]

Does anyone know if they make a shorter stock for the Benelli M2? While I love my M2 Tactical to death, the LOP is just too long with body armor on.
I've contacted a few individuals in the past about shortening the stock but either they couldn't do it or just were too busy.

Anyone know of any gunsmith that could shorten the stock? Any aftermarket stocks?

I'm REALLY thinking about switching back to the 870. Last resort would be finding an M1S90 based on the parts/support available.

Do a little searching, I know awhile back somebody did a tutorial on shortening Benelli stock. I'm pretty sure it was Ned Christensen. I think it was even on this forum.

Found one, not the one I was thinking of though.... https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=45866

Yep. I remember that thread. I actually got the hardware from flyfishdave. He offered me tips and such but I just don't have the tools or skills to do the work.
I just send noctis an email too to see what he can do. I really need this done.

If you dont want to use/modify the Benelli stock, Speedfeed makes a replacement stock for the M1/M2. I use thier TAC IV-S model on my and the issue 870. I ended up cutting another 2" off the LOP to shorten it where I wanted. Cost effective alternative to modding the Benelli.

As far as I know, Speedfeed only makes stuff for the M1S90. The M2 is totally different. Why they changed it? I have no idea.

I found a gunsmith to do the stock modification while browsing another site. C-Rums, LLC is taking on the task. They do Benelli modifications so it's fitting that they can also reduce the LOP.
The stock is headed out Thursday evening. I'll let you guys know how it turns out.
This has been a 2 year hunt..

If any of you are interested I have instructions for reducing the stock length 1.25" using the stock mounting locations and no additional components. All it takes is a bit of manual skills, band saw, dremel tool and belt sander. Email me at : marty91698@yahoo.com and I'll be happy to send them.

Thanks Marty. I'll shoot you an email after lunch. Time is what I don't have.. Maybe next time I'll do it myself. I'd rather let a pro do it this go round.
