A certain MDS member has one of those, but he hasn't posted since 10/18/2020.
Their screen name is Benelli Gal or something like that.

There is a benellibabe but no evidence of this shotgun in that person's 2 posts from 9 years ago

Change brands and gender and you'll figure out who it is.

That one went over my head admittedly

Never knew him well from around here so the joke snuck past me

Year ago Sarco was selling off all the forward parts to build those in a kit. Relatively inexpensively to boot.
Like a lot of things I passed them up thinking they would be around for use later on but not so much anymore.
Shoulda coulda but didnt.....

Yep, I remember Sarco having them.
Do you remember when they were selling all the surplus parts, to make the STEVENS 77f 12 gauge pump copies?
It was crazy, you could by the shortened stained black buttstocks with the unobtainable red butt pad, for like $12. The only other parts you needed were the sling swivels, and barrel band. Sarco had them to for just a couple of bucks each.
Last time I seen the Buttstock it was around $100, and didn’t have the butt pad!

So don’t feel bad, I missed the boat on both of them.

Sure would like to see some these become available again, found or uncovered in the back of the ole warehouse of wackyness one day.
Limited availability, dont wait or they'll all be gone!

I remember when White marsh arms used to have one hanging on the wall, not for sale.

I like it, but Clyde Barrow does not

WHAT?!

As Bertfish said, Duffy's will transfer inch-pattern. They're about the only place I know willing to do so though.

Inch mags aren't an issue as inch receivers will accept metric mags.

I know this is a shotgun thread, but here's my Argentine Rosario Mk IV with some legit Rhodie mags that I nabbed from SARCO last year via a friend in a more free state.

End threadjack.

Wrong person. The referenced person has one (maybe more). I touched it. You will be a slotted floppy if you try to take it from him.

I called dibs on that one years ago . I do get to go touch it when ever I want though.

Saw one for sale a few years back with the baby poop green paint all over at a show but the guy was way out of line on his price . They are the only 2 I have ever had my hands on .

I don't even know what realistic pricing is. If I ever encounter one I'll decide then and there if I think it's reasonable I suppose

Last one I saw sold at auction years ago for over 3 grand, one of my wants

I touched it too.
Out of curiosity, did he make you guys wear short shorts (Daisy Duke khakis) before you were allowed to handle it? I understand the shorts requirement, but the follow-up photo shoot was a little awkward.

One went off on GB a few month back for a little over 5K. It was also mislabeled as an FN A5 and made no mention of the words “Rhodesian” or “Military” and still went that high. Select people know what they are.

They go for stupid money at this point.
