Not trying to convince you, but Andrew has a wood composite material available which is very un-plasticlike. It's sandable and even takes an oil finish.

IIRC, the trigger doesn't move much but the distance does change. I think it moves differently if you adjust when the hammer is cocked, but there is resistance in that case. I do agree that staying between the lines doesn't seem like enough. As with any adjustment on this module, make minimal change...

9 o'clock is pretty far, but if the gun cocks reliably it may be ok. Be EXTREMELY cautious when first firing with multiple rounds in the magazine. If the sear doesn't catch, the pistol will go full-auto. I keep mine no more than 8-ish. A drop of oil on the pivots and plungers is ok, but grease shoul...

They've simplified the settings in recent versions of the software. There is no longer any "sensitivity" setting, it's pretty much automatic, and accurate. There is a setting for the type of gun, which might mean they have pre-set values for many. I was happy to find my Benelli MP90 in the...

The Scatt software can print targets scaled to tenths of a meter. It will do this even in demo mode, very useful.

I think it's standard M3, but yeah, very special shape. You'll need the authentic item. One possibility might be to repair the top surface, with epoxy or some careful filing/machining. Probably not worth it. Tip: if you remove it, be sure to tie the sight down with a ziptie because the tension sprin...

The most important thing is not to store it in a cocked condition. That can weaken the hammer spring over time. ... Using the dry fire plug is fine if you have one that works I'm not sure I agree that this is accomplished when the dryfire plug is in place. When dry firing, the hammer only strikes t...

Definitely no ultrasonic baths. All that will do is drive dirt deep into the mechanisms and trigger plungers. The only cleaning I do is to wipe off the top surfaces, and run a swab or cloth through the magazine channel, where carbon adheres. I also wipe off the hammer surface, where it strikes the f...

Excellent source, since it includes recent years most of the other online Italian date code lists only (much) earlier ones. I've taken the liberty of excerpting the important table below! Sigla Anno Sigla Anno Sigla Anno X 1954 AE 1979 BU 2004 XI 1955 AF 1980 BZ 2005 XII 1956 AH 1981 CA 2006 XIII 19...

Ok, the issue is settled, at least for my pistol: 2mm . 1.5mm - falls through hole 2.5mm - sits too high, falls out 2.0mm - nestles in like a coddled egg Photo looks exactly like nik365's, below. I plan to use a dot of threadlocker to keep the parts from departing the seating hole. And I did not req...

Aha! Evidence of The Balls. Thanks. I will try some 1.5mm, and 2mm if they fall through. I think your diagram and mine are the same, but yours is a lot clearer. Mine is apparently a reprint, although original. It's commercially printed, rebranded to the USA importer at the time (EAA in Cocoa Beach F...

Colorful! Enjoy your new Freedom :)

Mine must be from the tiny-ball era. Also predating the printing press, apparently :) The holes are definitely 1.5mm. A #52 drill bit is a no-go, a #53 is a go. #53 is exactly 1.5mm, so I would be quite surprised if a 1.5mm bb will ride and not fall through! I will experiment. Regarding springs 069P...

Both are through holes, 1.5mm. I will try a 2mm bb.

Very strange these are not shown on the diagram, if so. I am looking at the one in the manual that came with the gun, in addition to other sources.

If you have to take the bolt apart, I have a tool that makes it pretty easy. I made a bunch with the intention of offering them for donations to the team I help coach, but I haven't gotten around to figuring out shipping costs. Thumbs-up on my newly received third hand. The beveled extractor slot i...

I'm reinstalling the rear sight onto my MP95E Benelli. It's an older model pistol and the sight has been off for some time. I've collected all the parts and cannot figure out what is missing from the click detents. Here are two photos showing the ~1.5mm holes (see arrows) under the adjusters for bot...

I have no idea when Benelli manufactures their pistols, or resupplies parts. The US supplier was a sole proprietor, who passed away almost two years ago. His business has since been reopened under a new owner, but the pipeline is not fully up. To my knowledge there are no new pistols being imported....

I completely agree with GWhite that the bolt rarely needs to be dismantled, and only slightly needs oiling. One area to inspect though is the little lengthwise slot below the tip of the firing pin. It often gets crudded up with wax and carbon, and can cause the pin to stick. When the pin fails to re...

Would love to see photo(s), even without a writeup! Taking a close look at mine just now, with the chamber empty I don't see any outward deflection of the extractor as the bolt closes, but I do see a slight rearward movement indicating the extractor is certainly touching something in the barrel/bree...

...The tip of the extractor in the Benelli hits the slot in the barrel, and how much it gets deflected depends on how well the angle on the tip matches the angle of the bottom of the slot. I matched that carefully, and now the extractor deflects only slightly off the case when the slide closes. So,...
