Very cool anon. Did you make it from scratch or modify a stock and foregrip for a different gun to fit? If so, what was the donor stock.
I'd say it just needs a heat shield now.
The buttstock I bought from Italy, originally from a Raffaello. All shotguns of the "Super 90" series have the same basic buttstock pattern.
The stock hole had to be slightly widened to accept the thicker M4 receiver extension. I bought original stock retaining nut and plate. The plate had to be trimmed down a bit, because the stock is for the old pattern plate, which is out of production.
The handguard is by Cotton Branch Custom. Came terribly blonde, but I got the buttstock later and didn't know it would be dark red.
full sets have recently become available.

by the time you've replaced enough of a turknelli for it to not be junk you'll have spent more.

Not exactly, considering you can undercut that $1,600 pretty easily

yeah, but with what? Benellis are fine engineering. turk stuff isn't.

I never said the turknellis were fine engineering, I said that I'd like to ship of theseus one with Benelli parts. It'd be pretty easy to undercut the cost of a used Benelli putting in the minimal effort

You wouldn't get a ship of Theseus, you'd get a Frankenstein's monster.

just list the parts you'd swap out and how much they cost.
You really don't need to
Just detail strip it, clean with denatured alcohol, loctite screws, check hardnesson bolt carrier and pistons, oil and assemble.

>check hardnesson bolt carrier and pistons
yeah, just let me break out my Vickers setup and stick this bolt in it.
By factory stock you mean the wood one offered by marstar? That's about half an inch shorter than the telescoping stock at mac extension so that sounds close to perfect for me.
Edited to bring out a bit more color, hope I'm not out of line
Nevermind, I didn't realze you were OP. Nice fricking wood. Do you know how it was prepped and finished or did it come pre-finished? Does it shimmer (does it have chatoyancy)?
the buttstock is from a Raffaello, the fancy version of the Super 90 series. it appears to be stained and oiled and all I did to it was rub in some fresh oil. yes, it does shimmer.
to match the color I had a cabinet maker stain the handguard to match the hue and then I placed it a plastic container with ammonia vapor in half hour increments until the brightness was the same. which is really hard to judge, because light source and viewing angle affect appearance a lot. showed it a bunch of people at different lightings before I satisfied with the result. wife = best critic of one's work.
>and then I placed it a plastic container with ammonia vapor in half hour increments until the brightness was the same.
I never heard about this technique before, ty anon.
Great looking shotgun anon. Sorry to ask for a spoonfeed on such a stupid question but is the M4 basically the same as the Super Black Eagle? I grew up in Arkansas duck country and that's been my only exposure to Benelli. As an aside, does anyone remember the S.B. Eagles that you could drop a shell on top of the loading gate and then manually chamber the final shell? This gave you two in the tube, one on the loading gate, and one in the chamber. This was hot shit in Stuttgart, AR circa 2000.
No clue but you can do the same on the M4! It's called "ghost loading"; was just reminded of such a thing existing while listening to a podcast while coming back from hunting. I used to hear about it a lot here but I guess shotguns aren't exactly the cool new hot shit right now and ghost loading is kind of old too.
>is the M4 basically the same as the Super Black Eagle?
the Super Black Eagle is very similar to an M1 or M2. they're all recoil operated with what Benelli calls the inertia system. the M3 added a pump action on top of the inertia system and the M4 is driven by two gas pistons underneath the handguard.
Dude, that's not an M4 - that's an M4. Before you start a thread about an M4, maybe learn what an M4 is so you don't go and post a pic of an M4 and call it an M4. An M4 and an M4 are completely different. Nice pic of an M4, though - too bad you started an M4 thread instead.
...unless I'm the confused one, and you actually started an M4 thread for an M4, instead of an M4 thread for an M4. If this is an M4 thread and not an M4 thread, then my apologies.

I just got my first Benelli today. an M1S90 SBS. The wood is noice.
Thats a great looking gun anon, very well done.

Bought for my SDS S4
Not too bad for $70. Have to keep that in mind for when I buy an M4. Hopefully all of them are that tiger stripey/curly as the one in the pic!
for $70 you need luck to get a fancy pattern. they select a pretty stock for the picture, not for every order.
you are a good anon, anon. just ordered a set a few minutes ago
even basic walnut furniture looks better than the plastic stocks they have by default.
whoops. meant for
I agree. just curbing expectations.
Damn I really like that, gives me alternate history dieselpunk kinda vibes.
Neato.
that looks sublime.
That's fricking hot anon God damn
here's a Panzer set someone actually received.
nothing fancy, but it's fine. basic but pretty. fit and finish are okay.
That's not bad
absolutely not. I'd redo the checkering, replace the buttpad and give it a better finish, but for $70 it's great value.
You can buy turknellis with the furniture now too
What would you finish it with?
probably tung oil followed by renaissance wax after drying, but I'd have to see it with my own yes to decide.
The fuggly turkish trigger guard actually looks good with these stocks
I hope I get a good looking set, I'd like to really pull some depth out of them.
I wonder if it's worth buying a couple to hand pick
>turknellis
I'm considering picking one up just to tear it apart and fix it with benelli parts not gonna lie
Don't. Its probably better to get a used M4

Very nice. I am a carpenter and often think about making nice rifle stocks. We do a stain like this for home furniture.
Even just restoring them can command a good price. Of course some do it just for the aesthetics.
How do you do fellow chad.
As a follow up for any Canucks in this thread, here's where I got mine
What's the length of pull like on these? I'm 5'10" king of manlets and find the extendable stock at full length just slightly too long.
length of pull on the factory stock with slim buttplate is 35.5 cm.
By factory stock you mean the wood one offered by marstar? That's about half an inch shorter than the telescoping stock at mac extension so that sounds close to perfect for me.
by factory stock I mean the Benelli factory wood stock of the Super 90 series as seen in OP.
phone cameras do a terrible job of capturing hue.
Holy shit that's beautiful
Edited to bring out a bit more color, hope I'm not out of line
nah, it's too much color. it looks like wood and not like it's painted orange.
Holy frick. Is that as-is?

Looks great except the top rail.
Better
That's hot as frick.
why gimped mag tube though?
>turkshit
not here. unmolested, fully Italian M4 Super90 with metal trigger pack.
me gusta wood

very nice. Beautiful
needs heat shield
nyet. shotgun is fine.

Poor detected
Wood doesn't belong on 1014, it belongs on 1897's and auto 5's.
>Wood doesn't belong on 1014
looks cooler than boring black plastic though.
Except for the picatinny rail, this is pristine. good taste anon-kun

it's clearly an M4.
>this is /k/ in 2024
you wouldn't know an M4 if it smacked you in the face
Yeah, it's clearly an M4. I don't know why OP is going on about an M4.
Wrong. It's an M4. If it was an M4 it would look like an M4, but it looks like an M4 - not an M4 - so it's clearly an M4.
It's obviously an M4 M8.
I might end up doing this, since I can only have an M4 in NYC. Every other shotgun has more than 5 round tubes.
Every current production shotgun should be offered with wood furniture + heat shield. Change my mind.
Can you add wood to an M3?
buttstock is easy, it's the same as the M1.
full length mag tube and wooden stock makes booomstick nice.
I'm a little erect.
