Benelli M3 Question

Hi Everyone,

What is the difference between a Benelli HK M3 and a Benelli M3 new production model? Which one is best?

The operating system is the same. Some parts compatibility with the M2 on the Benelli made, some parts compatibility with the M1 on the HK made.

I'd not say either holds sway over the other except price since the Comfortech Stock is not in play on the M3s.

Do you think that the HK made model is built better?

I don't. I know Kurt Miller has over 300K on his M1, but I've seen a few M2s get up there to that count.

The South American Dove outfitters almost all use M2s in 20g and those guns get beat more than any others with 100s of thousands of rounds through them.

I just don't know of many folks with high round counts on their M3s, but Benelli stands behind their stuff.
