Benelli M1 Super90

The bulb upgrade is actually a "end of light unit" upgrade.
The entire end of the weapon light is removed and replaced with a new one that contains the LED bulb, reflector, lens, and so forth.

Help me understand...

Is the upgrade you are talking about different from the factory LED lights available from SureFire?
Does one buy the factory LED light (617LF LED or 617LFG LED) and send it off to another company for the upgrade?

Question 2: What choke to use? Right now I prefer improved cylinder because of my strong belief in slugs. In my experience, slugs are much more accurate for field use; whereas one only has a limited amount of control over the pattern of pellets. If I did use buckshot, it would be full choke.... but full choke leaves me unable to use slugs - and in a TEOTWAWKI scenario, versatility could be appreciated.

Choke? We don't need no steenking choke.

Sure thing.

When you order this kit you get the following:


It's my understanding that the reflector angle is different due to the near linear light output of an LED. They're almost as co-linear as a laser, not quite, but close. Couple that with the need to shock mount everything on a weapon light to account for recoil, you need the entire front of the light replaced, unlike the flashlight which only needs the bulb/reflector replaced. You simply unscrew the old end of the light and install the new one, pretty much like a bulb change, but with the new light end piece and lens.

As an aside, brighter LED's are coming online. As it is today, the LED upgrade takes you from 65 lumens to 80 lumens, plus the 350% increase in battery life. The weapon light is available new with the LED already a part of it.

What is the idea w/ using pistol stocks on "tactical" weapons? On long guns, it seems more ergonomic to have the traditional rifle stock....?

To each his own but I shoot way better with a full pistol grip stock on my 870 and my Mini-14. Its more natural of a position for my wrist when shooting something thats ground level.

I remoed the factory pistol grip butt stock and went with a conventional type, because the pistol grip interfears with reloading (for me).

I love my M-1. It's the greatest autoloader on the market. I traded a SPAS-12 for mine; never shot the thing and it was just too heavy to be of any practical use.
