Taran Tactical, Benelli for you amusement.
I just got my second custom shotgun from Taran, and my third Benelli custom in total, with the last being from Salient.
In dealing with Taran, it's always been smooth, and he seems to always be there at the shop with his staff. The gun mods are not stagnant. They are always evolving at his shop. for instance, on the load port, the old one was flared and beveled, now the new one is even larger and flared at the front, instead of the factory flare whose lines run parallel, and unlike the previous one, has a guide fore and aft of the lifter for 2 up, or dual load feeding.

Nice shotgun, let us know how it works.
Generally, don't people who spend a lot of money on customization want the world to know who crafted or modded their gun? Especially in competition?

Very nice! I got a Salient M2 in 2010 for 3 Gun great shotgun. TTI does great work.
If I had to get another one it would be a TTI. Really like the increased size of the loading port.

No, was given a discount for being a repeat customer. The name is only on twice, one on each side, the rest is the trademark, you know, I think like Magpul then the M. The bolt used to be sold separately, so is the charge handle, the safety, lifter, etc, etc. It's quality stuff, that works smooth and fast. Last edited by ERdept; 03-24-2015 at 4:54 PM.. |

There's only 3 people that do Benelli's well. 2 are in Ca, the other back east. Taran and Salient. So, it's open knowledge. With Taran, you can drive it there, and see the shooting range/shop. He's a very jovial person, and fast as lightning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A28y0zaPWx4 |

This is more similar to the Wilson Combat Border Patrol (based on Remington 870 pump action) I think. |

My last was a 21 inch bbl, with vent rib. Now, I want a shorter one with ghosts. I like this more, and not having a long mag tube and long barrel feels better for me. The stippling is my own. Also, the shell latch is my own mod. I polished it, and cut the back, and dished the lip, so it has less spring, so it would be easier to load 2 shells at once, and not push past a heavy spring and latch. Im doing it to save $100 bucks. Fired 60 low brass/low power shells and it ran all. Last edited by ERdept; 03-24-2015 at 6:15 PM.. |

On Glocks, not really. Not the fancy stuff Zev does, but it's functional…

Thanks for sharing.
I've been thinking about sending my Benelli to Taran for some work that I can't do myself. Definitely like the way they do the loading port. I'd like to have then lighten and TIN coat my bolt as well.

And OP, which do you like better and why, between the Teran and Salient? I want a 3 Gun M2 in the worst way. And I'm not really sure why because I don't even shoot 3 Gun! I just want one! |

Hey what is that "knob thing" where the rear stock meets the receiver?
And would it be too impolite to ask what Taran charges for one of his guns? |

Taran. Communication is a call away, or visit. Taran keeps evolving his parts, and mods. For instance, the bevel in the receiver load port used to be flared and parallel withe the sided of the bottom. NOW, the flare is beveled wider the ever near the mag tube, and rides up into the receiver, higher than previous generation. It's the biggest port flare, and in a few years, evolved from my first one. Just goes to show it's not just mods, but shooting it and mods from participating. |

That price is not bad at all. Very fair for all there work they are doing.
And reasonable with the oh S**t factor if they screw up and make a mistake on the receiver.
