Yes, that is a big concern for me, especially since I've got a 7 shell carrier on the left of the receiver, and a 2 shell carrier on the right. It has been reliable so far with heavy loads without the Aimpoint on it. So, it may work just fine with the Aimpoint and fewer shells in the shell carriers. I don't know yet, and there is only one way to find out.
If this setup proves to be unreliable, I'll likely sell the M1 and either get the M4 (when it comes out with a full magazine tube), a Winchester Super X2 (or similarly FN or Browning.) I'm not crazy about Remington gas guns, so those are out.
My Benelli is a pre ban, with screw in choke tubes, pistol grip, 7+1+1 capacity and ghost ring sights. If need be, I can probably sell it for enough to buy a replacement (albeit post ban) shotgun outright. Which is too bad, as I really like the pistol grip.....
