Ok hive, I've got a few questions for everyone. I recently acquired an H&K marked benelli m1 super90 (wish I could have found an m3 super90 but beggars can't be choosers right?) for a great price. Currently set up in the field configuration, std stock, std tube, 26" barrel.
I'm in the process of trying to set this up in a more HD/course configuration. Below are some questions and points I'm seeking advice for.
Most importantly, if I understand the threads I've read thus far, my H&K marked benelli is exempt form 922r compliance due to being imported pre-ban/legislation and I have no need to worry about adding all the stupid junk I want. Am I standing on firm ground here?
I've purchased a benelli pg stock and am trying to find a non rip-off barrel that will fit. Any leads or advice for barrels? For the three gunners out there, what barrel length do you feel comfortable with? Is the 18.5" enough barrel for your sport? I haven't participated yet, I'm planning to get into it in the relatively near future.... Has anyone tried the new barrels that are marked to fit m1's but "supposedly" do not fit without alteration to the shotgun?
Additionally I'd like to add an extended magazine tube (one that potentially goes the length of the barrel, not past it however). How does everyone feel about nordic? How many shells does the std tube hold, 3?
Forend I was thinking about a light, does anyone have any experiences with dedicated shotgun forend lights? I'm aware of surefire (CHA CHING!!!), any others worth looking at out there? Anyone use both a barrel mounted and a dedicated forend and have some pointers on which they preferred? I do prefer to save up/shop used and get quality (all my carry and other weapon lights are surefires that I purchased typically under 1/2 price), I am not adverse to buying something that is less expensive but quality.
