The Benelli M3 (Super 90) is a dual-mode (both pump-action and semi-automatic) shotgun designed and manufactured by Italian firearms manufacturer Benelli Armi SpA. The M3 holds a maximum of seven rounds and uses the proprietary Benelli semi-automatic system first showcased in the M1. The M3 is notable for allowing the user the choice of semi-automatic or pump-action operation. It is reliable and versatile, and popular with military and police forces as well as civilians.

Background[edit]

Benelli M1 Super 90 Manual

Pump-action operation is employed when shooting less powerful shells, such as rubber bullets, that do not generate enough recoil to operate the semi-automatic mechanism. Conversely, the semi-automatic mode can be employed with more powerful shells, absorbing some of the recoil. Switching between the two modes is done by manipulating the ring located at the front of the forend grip.

The Benelli M3 also features a removable stock allowing the user to choose one of two styles, the traditional shotgun stock or a stock with a pistol grip.

The Benelli M3 is an updated version of the Benelli M1 shotgun. The M3 uses the same inertia recoil semi-automatic system as the earlier Benelli M1, but adds another Benelli-patented feature, which allows the shooter to lock the semi-automatic action and switch to the manually operated pump-action mode and back in the matter of seconds. The action type switch is located at the forward end of the forearm, and is formed as an annular knurled ring. Rotation of this ring either engages the action rods of the pump system and locks the semi-automatic recoil system, or disengages the action bars, locks the forearm and allows the inertia recoil system to operate the action automatically. This greatly improves the versatility of the shotgun, allowing it to fire low-powered ammunition (mostly of special purpose, such as less-lethal rubber or tear-gas projectiles) in the manually operated pump action mode, and to fire full power combat loads with slugs or buckshot in rapid semi-automatic mode. An underbarrel tubular magazine usually holds 8 rounds for police or military versions, or less in some civilian models.

The M3 Super 90 is available with various barrel lengths and stock options, with fixed butt and semi-pistol or pistol grips, or with top-folding butts and pistol grips. Sight options include shotgun-type open sights, rifle type open sights, ghost ring (diopter) sights and various mounts for reflex or low magnification telescope sights and tactical flashlights and laser pointers.

Variants[edit]

The Benelli M3 comes in several variations, most notably the M3 Super 90, which features a smaller body. There is also a shorter version, which is easier to transport, used by law enforcement officers. Samsung galaxy tablet 2 10.1 user manual.

While other Benelli self-loading shotguns have the recoil spring inside a tube in butt-stock, in the M3 the recoil spring is placed around the magazine tube. This is an interesting feature for weapon modification, since other shotguns (such as M1, M2 and M4) attach the butt-stock to the recoil spring tube. The M3 has a dummy tube just for stock attachment.

Can't access user manual for my samsung phone free. Benelli's M3T is an OEM variant, where the butt-stock and dummy tube have been replaced with a pistol grip and up-folding skeleton butt-stock.

Benelli's SuperNova pump-shotgun and MR1 self-loading rifle have similar butt-stock attachment to the M3, so this adds two new butt-stock options to M3.

The M3 butt-stock and dummy rod can be replaced with a 'Benelli SuperNova Tactical Collapsible Stock'. The collapsible stock allows 5-position draw length adjustment, so a shooter can compensate the effects of thick winter clothes or body armor by adjusting the stock length. The required spare parts are: Adjustment rod, pistol grip and collapsible butt-stock.

It is not.I couldn't be happier with my decision!! I love the design of their soundbar.the remote control is fantastic, allowing you to change settings and volumes so easily. Nakamichi shockwafe ultra 9.2 user manual. Which, by the way, is very easy.After I bought this, I was second guessing myself, wondering if what I bought was overkill. It gave me goosebumps.the 4K television with this Shockwafe Ultra 9.2.4 has reinvented watching movies at home!It is obvious that a lot of thought was put into this system because you can feel, see, and hear the quality. The user manual is also very well thought out.I believe the people who are having problems have not taken the time to read and get familiar with this system before setting it up.

A rare modification is to replace the M3 butt-stock and dummy rod with a 'Benelli SuperNova Handle Grip'. The 'handle grip' is just the pistol grip attached to the receiver with a screw.

well for starters, my name is Savva and I just got out of the military. I have been deployed to Afghanistan and other places as an Infantry man. Now a-days i work as a aircraft mechanic in Omaha Ne.
my father gave me a Benelli M1 super 90. It came with both the stocks( pistol grip and standard) holds 6 3inch rounds and seems to have a 27ish inch barrel. Also, the chokes i have for it i cant tell which is which, all they have is I, II, III notches on top.
from looking on the internet this is not the typical barrel configuration it comes with, it is stamped benneli on the barrel so its not a aftermarket barrel. stamped H&K on one side and Benneli on the other. no rights what so ever on it either.
can you guys give me the ge-wizz i should know about it or sites i can get parts for it ie. shorter barrels, rails, stocks and sights?
thanks.

Welcome home and welcome to the Basement!
Full=I =*
IM =II =**
M =III =***
IC =IIII =****
C =IIIII =*****
You wll use the C or IC chokes for 00 buckshot and rifled slugs. You can approximate 00 buckshot patterns by using the full choke and #8 birdshot. Never shoot 00 buckshot or a slug through the full choke, however. Buy a good two-point sling, maybe a two-point bungee cord sling if you need to get over a coat quickly in winter. Try to shoot 200 shells before you buy any accessories for your gun. H&K imported Benelli guns in the 1990's until 1997, so your gun is 15 years old or so. Was it a civilian or a LE gun? This Benelli M1 Super 90 sold for $650 recently. Good luck, savva!

You should be able to find a short barrel without much effort. This was a good thread elsewhere about the Benelli M1 Super 90: http://glocktalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1216806. Mentioned were:
Excellent shotgun, my favorite out of my non OU shotguns, and has been 100% reliable in the 22 years I've had it.
Shoots like a house afire with heavy loads. It keeps slugs in a group the size of your palm at 50 yards. I put something like 400 rounds through it before I felt I just 'had' to clean it. Just about didn't have to; compared to any gas-op gun it was still very clean inside. I just wiped it down, lubed it wherever it seemed to need lube, and put it back together.
I have a few and love them. Plenty of rounds through them and they continue to run. Tom Knapp ran a M1 for many years, finally retired it after 300K rounds.
I used M1 Super 90's on my Fed. BOP SORT (SWAT) teams. They functioned well for us and I never felt that I was at risk using them in that venue. I could have used 1100's or 870's but I felt the Benelli was up to any potential challenge. Maybe since I've shot one for so many years has a big influence though I also have and use an 870 Police I got back in 1979.
