Updates to my MR1

[be2man]

Found a Super Nova collapsible stock and picked up a Trijicon Accupoint 1-4x(post n green triangle) with a Larue mount on the EE. I think I've got this set up tweaked just the way I want it now
If your considering an MR1 I'd definately recommend the collapsible stock version. The collapsible stock has a much better comb height for optics and has a lot of l.o.p. adjustability to suit shooting position, clothing and size of shooter.
It came together fortuitously such that the Larue quick release mount is just high enough to clear the stock iron sights with the right amount of eye relief for me.
The Super Nova stock did need a little dremel work to fit the MR1 trigger guard into the pistol grip but other than that it was a perfect fit over the recoil spring tube.

Nice! Where'd you pick up the adjustable stock? I've been trying to do the same thing but can't get any info from anyone (dealers). How much trimming did this require? I'd rather obtain the OEM adjustable for the MR1, but if this works, WTH.

I see by the photo you've fired this rifle more than a few times. Why Benelli didn't install a casing deflector is beyond me. It would've saved all the brass hits and resulting marks. Most of this can be cleaned up, but still............

Yes lots of "pings". I ended up finding a Super Nova tactical and switching the stocks, may sell the Super Nova but I kind of like it as well. The full stock is more suited to the shotgun IMO. Will likely still come out as less $ than buying the stock aftermarket. Apparently they (Super Nova stocks) are available from Stoeger Canada. Shooter's Choice Waterloo was going to order me one but it was gonna be $300 plus tax Whoever your Benelli dealer is should be able to order one from Stoeger.

Keep the Super Nova, have one myself, great shotgun. I switched its stock out with a Mesa Tactical Urbino, terrific upgrade with a shorter LOP and better natural fit. As far as ordering through any local dealers, forget it. They want nothing to do with you after the initial sale. That would required a little initiative on their part. It's easier just to say they can't get parts. I'll figure something out sooner or later. I've tried Stoeger, won't even return an email so I guess that's out. I think Wolverine is the best bet, I've had terrific service from those folks.

You could call Shooters Choice in Waterloo, ON. They do ship, won't be cheap though as far as markup. I don't think Stoeger will sell direct to you as they are the distributor. You'll likely have to go through a Benelli retailer somewhere.
