Hey guys, I recently got the stamp back on a Benelli M1 entry. This is the 14" SBS and this particular one is a pre-ban HK import that's been sitting in the NFA cage new in box for the last decade+. Now that I have it in my possession I want to get it ready to go for HD. I've installed a Surefire forend and one of the later Benelli large triangular paddle-style safety buttons. This one has the rifle sights on the barrel and I've painted the front with some hi-vis yellow/green.
My main question at this point is ammo carriage. The idea is that if the fight is going to be outside/away from my house, then I'll grab my AR15 SBR, but for in the house, I believe in the single shot wounding capabilities of the 12ga. I've got Doc's recommended buck (LE1321B) and slug (PB127DPRS) loads on-hand. Should I do a side-saddle? I've got some velcro and one of the SKD shotgun cards on my 3gun shotgun that I could pull off and use on this. I've also seen the Mesa stock saddle that attaches to the sling tab in the Benelli stock. For those that have run these guns hard, what are my best bets for setup? Currently I just have it loaded with 5 + 1 + 1 of the #1 Flite Control buck (LE1321B).
Thanks for input/feedback!
