Mesa Tactical Forum

The russian brides one wasn't bad.

Dimensional specs for the Benelli are constantly changing. If you look over at the Benelli forum, Kip was doing research for several dimensional specs for some of his projects.

Interesting about the tool requirements for disassembly.

Mmmm, I don't think the stock unscrews without the trigger group removed from the receiver. The trigger group acts as a method to keep the stock from unscrewing inadvertently.

Great news about the price point.

Retaining the ergonomics of the Benelli forearm is a priority. The failings of the Surefire M80 rail was primarily due to the fact that the rail system placed any mounted items right where your hand is meant to sit. It also made the forearm too thick. It was like holding onto a pringles can with spikes.

A replacement forearm would be a valued item for US made parts compliance. Additional colors would be a plus. I'd opt to have mounting holes on the forearm that allowed the option of short picatinny rails to be placed where needed. Preferably around the 10:30 and 1:30 positions, parallel with the barrel. This would keep the handguard area clear for your hands.

The key would be to minimize weight on an already heavy system. Adding long top rails serves little real world value. The mounting points between the receiver mounting bracket and the barrel hanger bracket are strong enough that a top support rail isn't needed.

Some tape switch pocket ideals could be explored. Maybe a wire routing option to limit exposed wires.

I wouldn't copy the factory tan. It looks like crap. The best way would be to copy the magpul FDE. You could easily get a set of those.

I'd buy a OD green one if it was available. It would match the newer M4 receiver.

Got my loaded coyote one?

Thanks for the update. Are you bringing this stock to SHOT this year? Any possibility that you will be releasing a desert tan color version upon release?

Thanks
See yuat SHOT I hope.
