Newbie question about Benelli M2 Tactical

[kirby]

I posted this in the benelliusa forums as well

I'm looking at the benelli M2 tactical (10055 or 10027) and I have a few questions:

- I see the modular stock system advertised, but I don't see a comfortech stock available in the catalog. If I buy an M2 tactical with non-pistol synthetic stock, can I swap out for a Comfortech stock? Where would I get one for the M2 tactical?

- I notice the M2 tactical with synthetic stock has a built in +2 magazine extension, but the model with Comfortech does not. Is this extension easily available as an acessory (or is this going down the whole imported parts problem?)

- I'm a lefty, but I've shot only right-handed guns without much trouble. I'm wondering if buying a left-handed comfort gel pad will work in the normally right-handed M2 tactical.

- What's a good price for the M2 tactical straight (non-pistol) synthetic stock with rifle sights (10055)? How about the Comfortech with rifle sights (10027)


Thanks for the replies. Hopefully I'll buy this weekend.

I'm pretty sure you could put a lefty recoil pad on a righty M2, but you could also buy a lefty M2 to begin with. I'm pretty sure they make a LH M2, they do make leftys of a lot of their other guns.

Thanks, theCZ.

Now what about the other questions?

I spoke to a Benelli rep today. I'll answer my own questions, so if someone else has the same ones they'll have the answers here.

- I see the modular stock system advertised, but I don't see a comfortech stock available in the catalog. If I buy an M2 tactical with non-pistol synthetic stock, can I swap out for a Comfortech stock? Where would I get one for the M2 tactical?

The M2 tactical can have the stock swapped. But, Benelli isn't currently offering the Comfortech stock for the M2 as a separate accessory, they may in the future.

- I notice the M2 tactical with synthetic stock has a built in +2 magazine extension, but the model with Comfortech does not. Is this extension easily available as an acessory (or is this going down the whole imported parts problem?)

Benelli doesn't offer the magazine extension here. it's the whole BAFTE wonn't let them import thing. The rep I spoke to mentioned a few US mfg'd ones, I think TacStar.

- I'm a lefty, but I've shot only right-handed guns without much trouble. I'm wondering if buying a left-handed comfort gel pad will work in the normally right-handed M2 tactical.

It does work, I bought the lefty pad. There is no lefty version of the M2 tactical shotgun.
