I bought a 24” black version for $700 (plus some fees) a few years ago and thought it was a steal. That one looks like a good deal in today’s market, especially if it’s a 21” (can’t tell from the picture) as those seem to be at a premium.

worth it to me IF, it is in perfect working order, and IF there is no evidence of it being a study project at WECSOG

Had to Google - WECSOG , that's pretty good
 No it hasn't been tampered with, he is an old timer and avid turkey hunter. He's is pretty much done with hunting due to health issues and age. |

I think that's a fair price for buyer and seller.

Seems to be a very fair price. If he was a turkey hunter some of the extra tubes could make this a great price. Regardless, you’d be hard pressed to have an all around better shotgun. If he still has the shims to adjust the stock to fit you then you can’t go wrong.

To me the 21” or 24” are just about perfect for a do-all shotgun.

From a guy you know who treats his guns well? I’d buy it in a second at that price.

In Dec. 2020 I paid $600 for a M1S90 factory SBS. I think the price asked for is fair for all parties.

An old fellows turkey gun means shot very little. A few shots to pattern it and if he was lucky a few shots during season and that would be it.
Wouldn't be surprised at all if it was a dedicated turkey gun that it has less than 100 rounds through it. |

Only people that would pay more for the Benelli are 3 gunners and they’re gonna rape that gun from stem to stern trying to hot rod it once they get their mitts on it.

Does the shell carrier have some surface rust on it or is that just the picture angle? The gun above seems to have surface rust on the barrel so maybe he doesn't have a dehumidifying rod in his safe or he didn't oil them down after being in the field? Just trying to judge condition better.
I bought an M1S90 Tactical about 10 yrs ago for $850 out of state. It cost another $200 to bring it in state and pay FFL, transport and DROS fees. At $1050 it was a steal for CA. It was in mint condition with only the rear sight missing, but came with a scope mount. He could have some fond memories being in the field with that gun and has him second guessing selling it. Might tell him he can shoot it anytime he wants. I'd rather sell a gun to a friend than a stranger for more money... within reason of course. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: He's back paddling on the Benelli now , says give him s few days to think about it and he' the one that priced it to me. However he did sell me this 870 Wingmaster with 30" full choke barrel and 10 shot mag extension $250. Need to touch up some bluing around the loading port but for its age, a very nice shotgun only 2 3/4" though. Have you ever seen such creature , that's definitely something you don't see everyday.  https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/70066/IMG_1067-1859588.jpg I'll give him a few days then I'll end up with the Benelli too That’s an early 870, you can tell by the narrow “corn cob” forend. |

The asking price is reasonable and I think the going price back when I was looking at them, even pre pandemic pricing. I bought mine 10+yrs ago for $450 as a police trade-in gun, and it was a good deal.

Not a terrible deal if you're in the market.
Now if it was an Hk import, it's a steal. |

They usually command a $200-500 price over the Benelli. I'm pretty sure you can float a shell on any Benelli until the SBE3. For duck hunting shotguns anyway |

For duck hunting shotguns anyway My understanding is that the M1's that were imported by HK will ghost load from the factory but, the M1's imported by Benelli themselves after they separated from HK will need modification to ghost load. I believe all M2's have to be modified to ghost load, I tried to ghost load my M2 and unless I am doing something wrong it will not do it. My understanding is to modify a carrier you have to make one edge on the second notch on the bottom of the bolt carrier 90 degrees. I have seen youtube videos on this but, have not tried it myself. |

Some of the Benelli M1S90s will ghost load too it just depends on whether the bolt is notched or not. Benelli started doing it after HK had already left. They did it to comply with migratory bird laws... |

Ghost loading is loading the tube , the carrier and have one in the chamber .

Quote HistoryQuoted: Ok so, this M1 will do that. Thanks. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Ghost loading is loading the tube , the carrier and have one in the chamber . Ok so, this M1 will do that. Thanks. Is it possible for you to pull the bolt body out and take a pic of the bottom of it? I am interested to see if it came from the factory able to do that or if he modified it to do that. The original had a single notch on the bottom and would allow ghost loading. They added a second notch so ghost loading was not able to be done but, someone figured out if you change the angle of the notch you can ghost load. Here is a pic I stole to show the single notch vs double notch, for reference. My understanding is that some M1's have one notch and some have 2 while all M2's have the second notch and need to be modified to ghost load.  Attached File |

Some guys were filling the notch with JB Weld to facilitate ghost loading. Don’t know how that holds up though. I wouldn’t bother if planning on migratory hunting with it though.

Thanks for posting the pics.
Looks to me like an unmodified bolt carrier. I am not sure how it is ghost loading without being modified. |

Thanks. If the shell on your carrier is popping out of the mag tube that aint "Ghost Loading". The Ghost loaded shell is inserted into the action via the ejection port with the mag tube remaining fully loaded. Load the mag tube full, pull the bolt back and (1) drop a shell into the chamber and (2) put a shell into the receiver on to the top of the carrier. Ease the bolt forward allowing the bolt to slide over the "ghost load" shell and into battery. |
