Benelli SBE 2 vs Versamax

[mechanik]

So I'm amassing the accessories for the SBE II...

Will any oversized bolt handle for the M2 work with it? I only see one model on the Nordic website that references the SBE specifically, and it also says it works for the M2, so presumably the interface is the same, but I'm guessing that if they all worked with the SBE then they would say so.

M2's were just on sale at Goble's for $1095

and now you tell us ?? I'll check to see if still on.

The M1/M2 charging handles fit the Versamax. Most M4 trigger wear parts fit as well - hammer, etc.

This is what I was wondering as well....is 3GN doing this through a distributor on behalf of the winner, or does one need to get a hold of an importer/exporter

This sort of thing is something I don't think 3GN or other large matches worry too much about...
They're catering to the US pool of competitors FIRST.
"If" a foreigner wins a prize... There's usually some arrangement/substitution that can be made, but... It's a PITA.
'Been to a few US matches where pretty much all the gun prizes where a no-go for any Canadian winner... ;-(

But that's when you make friends with the local FFL and he gives you cash for your guns...Oh Yeaaaaaah!
That's supposed to be a Oliver the cash man reference.

We all have "friends" that'll help facilitate these things... But, it would be nice to just walk up to the prize table grab a SCAR and take it home...

I don't have any experience with the Benelli's but here's an example of what you can do with a versamax.

This is the 26" synthetic model with following mods:

Nordic component +6 extension pinned to hold 7, 2 3/4 shells. With ghost load and one in the pipe it'll hold 9 rounds.
Nordic component clamp
Nordic components extended bolt handle (I believe this one is for the benelli m2)
Nordic component follower
As seen in the second picture I picked up a CRUMS lifter, just haven't had a chance to install it yet

I was hesitant to buy a Remington but the concept won me over and I'm happy to say that so far I've been nothing but happy with it.
As for the setup I had 3 gun in mind when I put it together and so far I am really happy with how it's performed. I probably would have bought the 22" version if it wasn't labelled 3" but after getting the 26" I'm glad that I did as this can double as a sporting clays or skeet gun.

Very nice gun!

Found out you can put a TTI safety on a Versamax. I've seen too many crater after a year of 3gun however.
