*NEW* Benelli M2 G1

I kinda want, I thought about now long it will take Benelli to take some sales from mother company Beretta 1301 lol. Now all I want know if it has rear spring on the stock tube...
 
2000USD is ~2800CAD. You can get a M4 for that price, or a 1301 loaded with bells and whistles. I agree with Painkillers that this is a hard sell.

The M2-G1's RPO system is a cut-down version of the ARGO: Benelli removed the auto-regulating valves and the self-cleaning design on the piston heads, the two things that made M4's ARGO legendary.

Beretta, on the other hand, still offers self-cleaning, auto-regulating gas pistons on every and all of their gas guns, starting from their cheapest (sub-$1000) A300 Outlander.

On guns.com it is 1750 USD. But it might be hard to sell against 1301.
 
If the RPO system does away with the gas system O-ring, as seen in most gas operated semi shotguns and something of a weak point, then it might be interesting.

If not, I can't see any compelling reason to choose a 1301 or M4 over it.

Guessing you mean there is no compelling reason NOT to choose a 1301 or M4 over this new offering if the O ring design isn't superior?

I had an M4 and sold it as everything felt small on it (I am used to guns with 3.5" receivers which lend themselves better as competition guns with large loading ports etc etc) but it ran well.

I also have a Versamax with an ARGO-esque gas system that has O rings with thousands and thousands of rounds and never had an O ring failure so I wouldn't even factor that into my decision (YMMV).

I have an A400 and the gas system is very different on it but there is an O ring on the front side of where the piston seats. So far it has been solid (have a probably a couple of thousand rounds on it) but will see how it holds up in time.

O rings normally aren't problematic, but if one goes at the wrong time it's a pain. And on the M4 at least, they are appearantly prone to damage if the pistons are field stripped carelessly.

I would rather have a design who's reliability is not so dependent on a tiny piece of rubber.
 
The gas system appears to be very similar to the M4 A.R.G.O. minus the auto regulation and perhaps a different gas hole size. It does use O-rings on the piston. In fact some parts may be interchangeable.
