    I did not know that (must read the manual again). The engineering nerd in me couldn't help himself, and had to look for the conversion. Like you, he couldn't find it and started from basics. ...

    I use a Benelli M2 for pest control, and sometimes use it for skeet and sporting clays. In the past, using Falcon V1 or Fiocchi TT1 I'd have an occasional cycling issue (1 in 50 maybe) whereby the...

    LOL, 4 gauge! Beats my latest possuming excursion with a .45 ACP. Lots of totara trees on my place and if the possums are hiding in the top branches, a .22lr will often deflect off small branches...

    I shoot clays every weekend and sometimes during the week. I shot a 90/100 at skeet the week before last with my Benelli, and that's my gun of choice for sporting and compak too. Shooting those...

    I like your kill ratio. I clean out peacocks from around polyhouses for my neighbour with a M2 Benelli. Last time I was able to sneak up on them, got the first on the ground, and the other three on...

    Forced into registering because I bought a new gun. Tried to register the re-barrelled single shot rifle as 45 ACP (which was stamped on the receiver). Not listed as an option in their drop-down menu...
