Been searching for a specific shotgun, every night, for about a month straight now and having no luck.
Its not finding a needle in a haystack, its like finding a needle in a stack of needles. I am looking for 1 specific model in a sea of simillar models.

[EagleMark]

I have one of them?

[JeepsAndGuns]

I am looking for a early model Benelli M3 tactical. The early models are stamped with H&K, as they imported them for benelli for many years untill benelli started importing themselfs. I am looking for a H&K marked M3 with the factory ghost ring sights, 7+1 mag tube and the factory pistol grip stock. This is turning out to be something thats not easy to find. I can find all kinds of the newer benelli usa imported models with a 4 or 5+1 mag tube, but can not find the H&K marked model with ghost ring sights and 7+1 mag. The stock can be changed out easy, so I would take a model with the straight stock as long as it was H&K marked, 7+1 mag and ghost ring sights.
I currently have a early H&K marked M3 and love it. I have had it for a long time, but ever since I have had it, I wished it had the ghost rings sights and pistol grip stock. But mine has the straight stock and rifle sights. The rifle sights are made onto the barrel, and the ghost ring sight models use a different barrel. I priced a ghost ring sight barrel, the pistol grip stock, the rear sight, and machine work to mount the rear sight on my current one, and I am a little over half the cost of just buying one in the configuration I want. Then I figure I could sell my old one. All the H&K marked models I am finding, are in the configuration of the one I already have.

My kids 88 Chevy truck has had a rear brake issue, grabbing. So he's been after me to fix it? Why? He's afraid he won't be able to get all the springs and such back together let alone right!

So I told him NO! He's like Huh? But I will teach you! Oh, OK... so he got all new parts together and we pulled both drums. Drums were new as were pads. But it looks like they did not adjust brakes so they cocked and cracked. Been like this since he got the truck but just recently the pad fell off and jambed things up.

So I taught him one side and when we went to the other I said your on your own, kicked back in a chair and wathced. He almost made a couple mistakes but recovered before I had to say anything. He did well!

Yep, I HATE drum brakes! Thats why 2 out of my 3 jeeps have rear discs. The 3rd (my 79 cherokee) will be getting rear discs when it gets lifted with 1 tons.

i guess it would depend on the vehicle, but the rear drums on the monte carlo have been more reliable than the front disks considering the many times i've had to make it home using only the e-brake to slow me down. with the amount of salt that gets thrown on the road here, brake lines take no time at all to turn into dust.

of course, the e-brake cable is so stretched now that i have about 2" of ground clearance when it isn't applied.

i am curious about slotting the inside of the drum, i've seen it done before and heard of good results, but never felt them.
