Brand New to Canada: TAC-12 "M3 Super 90"

[infidel29]

Very nice, Dang - I like 'em as legally short as posssible @18.5" ya, call me fussy. Does that extra 1.5 inches really make a difference .. dunno, ask your wife

Mine says yes, it does

According to the historical archives (YouTube) it should close when you hit the carrier release. Perhaps needs a little breaking in?

Would that be 10 or 20K rounds ?

Got mine. Got it together easy enough. The stock requires assembly but the barrel is assembled to the receiver.

What I don’t understand about it - when I have the pump engaged (pump mode), and the action open, should it not close the action when I hit the ‘carrier release’? Mine seems like it wants to, but requires some forward pressure on the pump to actually close.

Really cool shotgun. With the pump locked forward (semi mode) it feels just like my Benelli M2.

Interesting firearm.

Thank-you for your business!

Semi-auto functions disabled when in pump mode

When did you order and how far did it have to travel?

I ordered Friday and am in London, Ont. hoping it comes in this week.

you seem to be first to the table with the new equipment, does it feel ok other than the potential break-in issue?

thanks

Feels and looks really solid. I ordered same day it went up.

I’m very close to TI’s warehouse. UPS showed it in Calgary and then out for delivery in the Alberta boonies.

UPS always comes right to my door, while Canada Post is 40 minutes on the highway for me to pickup.

I’m always surprised that UPS even delivers out here, when nobody else does.

Looks like an excellent copy.

Got mine, field test tomorrow.
Manual is pretty “light” I found this useful https://www.benelli-guns.be/images/pdf/m3.pdf

Does your bolt spring closed when you hit the bolt release while in pump action mode? Looks like the Benelli's do.

 

[BLATT13]

Check your safety boys!!. The gun I received drops the hammer with the safety ON.
I’ll be taking this up with TI, but thought it deserves an immediate public announcement first. Please make sure your safety is functional before use!!

Not a Turkish gun enthusiast by any stretch but this is a very cool offering and I thank Tactical Imports for bringing these in .

Yup, bolt release closes the bolt in both modes .. no issue with safety on mine either.

Well, the super 90 just took its first pest on my property.

The manual pump selector is good for keeping track of my hulls, so they don’t litter the property.

How's the kick compared to a genuine benelli?

I only used it in pump mode so far, with #8 birdshot. - same as any pump thus far.

Imagine just hitting a Deer rapid fire with Tungsten BB Shot 3 inch?

73 Pellets.

Better then 00 buck at 100 yards for penetration.

 

[Tactical Imports]

Is the picatinny rail in front of the rear sight or it replaces the rear sight ?

In front of rear sight

Dear TI, Which UPS shipping option was selected? It seems they attempted delivery during business hours — understandable, but the driver was either unable or unwilling to drop it off at a UPS Access Point.

I couldn’t change the delivery option, so I decided to pay UPS to attempt delivery again on Saturday (scheduled between 2–6 PM). Unfortunately, the driver showed up at 10 in the morning instead.

Now, since I still can’t change the delivery option, they’ll make a third attempt on Monday during business hours. Guess I’m just having a grand time with UPS as expected….

Mine doesn’t. It’ll only close the bolt in semi.

I think my pump handle is dragging on the receiver.
