THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
Picked one up about a month ago and ran it in my first 3-gun comp last weekend. It ran great and I even loaned it out to a friend who's shotgun crapped out on him.

Is there anything I can do to make it even better? I've added a 8 round side saddle and the two round slide lock saddle. Anything to make it run smoother, reload faster or sight better, maybe a bolt release lever instead of the button? No complaints with it right now, but I enjoy tuning my guns. I'm new to shotguns and don't really know where to begin. I don't see any aftermarket parts for these anywhere either, too new?

Thanks!

I have heard having the feedramp (?) welded will aid in loading as well as dremel out the feed port oeven more. I wont do it but maybe send it off?

I would shoot it a few more times before modding it. it theoretically should only need the lifter welded solid, everything else has been done. Not too sure why it didn't come with a welded lifter to be honest.

+1 on the welded lifter. I am shooting a fun match this weekend and have added aluminum tape to mine till I can get it shipped off to CRUMS.

It was killing my left thumb.

I may need to add an adjustable rear sight. My birdshot is a little high and left and slugs are markedly left and high.

I added a neoprene buttstock shell carrier. Mostly for the soft check cushion, but having 2-3 rounds in there will save you if you shoot dry or need 1 more shot.

And I changed my fiber bead to green.

Not much I'll do to it, until I can load and shoot fast enough to be better than the gun can perform.

If you could somehow modify it into a Benelli M1 it would be awesome! Lol.
