So, I just watched my buddy disassembling his Super Black Eagle 12 gauge the other day... and it occurred to me that Benelli basically stole the recoil system directly from the FAL. Literally, the bolt, bolt carrier, recoil spring and compressing rod are pretty much slightly modified versions of the FAL's. Obviously, the long stroke piston gas system is different, but even the lower receivers are similar. Just food for thought... most people probably wouldn't think to compare the right arm of freedom to a modern day Italian sporting shotgun.
