Benelli M3 "clone"

[drache]

I'm sort of looking into making a sort of "clone" (I know stupid word) of the Benelli pictured below and was wondering what is the cheapest way to sort of going about it. I figure a mossberg would be a good base and then would need the buttstock/grip and maybe then throw one of the flashlight pump grips onto it as well.

So what should be used and where can I get the "parts" needed?

You should really go about it with a Beretta 1201FP as a launching platform.

Here's mine:

That IS nice but I would rather have a pump action as well as I don't want to spend an arm and a leg on this project.

In that case, check out this thread, might give you some ideas.

How about using a Stoeger M2000 as the base, same inertia drive as the Benelli's, or the pump.

I just bought my Supernova Tactical, all you would need is a extended mag, a barrel clamp, a rail, you could even get the expendable stock, the Supernova Tactical already has everything else an M4 does only it's a pump. I just bought a rail from Evolution Gun Works for about $50 shipped from the states, I will add pics when I have installed it. The Supernova Tactical comes drilled and tapped to install a rail so no drilling is needed, the best part it only cost me $750 new. Make sure you get the XS ghost rings installed when you buy it as they are about $150 new from XS. The extended mag you can get all over as I have sourced a few from local stores and they can all get them, it will be about $100 and a month or so wait. I looked into companies like Nordic, TacStar, DMW, Briley that all make extended mags for Benelli's and they are all readily available with there own pros and cons. I opted not to go the extended mag route because with the mag blocker removed she will chambers five rounds and that's one box of shells at $5 a piece, sure seven shells at the range would be fun and it looks cool but I would go threw allot more shell. However when I can afford it I will probably buy one for the looks anyways.
