Today the local GS told me that M3 imports are to be halted this year.
Anyone have any info on this? Seems like the prices will rise if it's true... |

Benelli shotgun - semi-auto/pump action, as opposed to the M1, which is strictly semi auto.
I like the versatility of the M3 system, but wonder about the extra weight (about 1 lb). Also, are screw in chokes available? |

Brionic,
Was there a reason given for this? I am curious why they would stop selling them here voluntarily? NJW in AZ |

Benelli makes a hunting (smooth bore) barrel (with rib) specifically for the M3 (i.e., the M1 barrels won't fit). It's 24" or 26", I think, and takes the regular screw-in chokes.

Benelli USA has told me there are NO plans to halt importation of this weapon.
Another example of bad info from a greedy dealer? Or just misinfomation... Thanks for all the replies. Regards, -- brionic |

The folding stock M3 is not a class 3 item. It's just expensive due to limited numbers being in country when the feeding frenzies hit.
