A friend of mine has an older Benelli that he has offered to me.
Like I said, it's a little older (say 15-20yrs??) and it has a TWO PIECE RECEIVER. It seems like I've heard that these are desireable..(?). Has extended tube mag, wood furnished, rifle-type sites, LNIB condition.
Questions:
- I've heard these older, two piece receivered guns refered to as the "real Benellis" and the "good ones", etc. Is this true? Why?
- What is it called? Is it just an M1? Or is their some other name for this type?
- About what is it worth (ballpark)?
- What is a "Benelli button"? I understand it is an aftermarket addition which improves the ease of loading... Is this true? How? How available are they?
Thanks in advance for any help!
