[QUOTE="Profreedomokie, post: 3196380, member: 524"] Talk about making your butt pucker. I wanted the collapsible stock for my M-1014 for years. During the ASB they went up to around $600 bucks so I never bought one. Well with the push to pass another ASB I started shopping for a collapsible stock again. Hoping to buy one before they went back up. My gun has the fake collapsible stock. Well Benelliparts.net was sold out ,so I ordered the recoil tube that would make my fake collapsible stock work. I also ordered the 922r complaint hammer, sear, and disconnector. I removed the old stock and pistol grip and there was a locknut on the recoil tube where it screwed into the receiver. Benelli never wanted that locknut to ever come loose. They put them on with the green Locktite Retaining Compound. I found this out after a little internet research . One guy said he used a heat gun or a Mapps torch. He said the heat gun took about 30 minutes to get it hot enough. I not one wanting to hold a heat gun for half an hour. I got out the smallest heating tip for my acetylene torch. I held a .015" SS shim against the receiver at each flat around the nut and heated it barely red hot. Then the nut came loose with the help of a custom made 1" and 1/16" socket. It didn't even mark the finish on the receiver. I didn't really want to take a torch to a $2K shotgun and risk something going wrong but, it worked out.
