Also $30 - and I also consider that completely reasonable. There are higher fees and less efficient shops for sure!

Started replacing parts on my Turknelli last night. Didn’t get very far. Upside: the mesa tactical Urbino stock dropped on easily and the bolt recommended by erwos worked perfectly. Downside: could not get the factory extractor and extractor spring out. I don’t know what they did to that pin, but it feels soldered in there. Will give it another go with a smaller roll pin punch when I have time again, but so far all I’ve done is raise a big burr at the edge of the access hole. Which in and of itself is a little strange, as I did not hit it there. I went ahead and knocked the burr off. I wonder if Aksa only heat treated the bolt face and left the rest soft? If I can’t get it next try, I may be the guy who spends half the cost of the shotgun on a Benelli bolt to see if it drops in. The TTI charging handle is going to need to be turned down slightly to fit in the carrier, but that’s easy enough. I have a friend with a lathe and blue dykem. This was obviously not a surprise given I ordered my charging handle after erwos said his wasn’t a great fit.
Didn’t get any farther on the parts installations because I can’t find my snap ring pliers to take down the OEM magazine tube. Seems like a bad idea to hit it with a plumbing torch to take it off while the spring and follower are still in there.
Also went through and tightened a bunch of screws to correct torque value.
I suppose I should not be surprised RE: the soft bolt material and stuck extractor pin. I wanted a project gun, and I got a project gun.

The ejector pin isnt straight down in the hole, its set into the side of the hole, but you may know this.
I am aware of this, yes.
I had to use an EXTREMELY small diameter punch to get the extractor out. None of my typical roll pin punches were small enough. You basically need to get the pin out just enough so you can pull it the rest of the way with needle nose pliers. Surprised no one's made a curved tool specifically for doing Benelli extractor removal.
(Benelli bolt should drop in based on other things I've read.)

I got the extractor pin out easy enough with a 1/16 roll pin punch. It doesn’t need to come out all the way, just enough to release the extractor.
The biggest problem I had getting the new extractor in, was that I was trying to install it with the spring on the wrong side. The spring obviously goes to the rear (left side). Once I got that figured out it was an easy swap.

My extractor pin looks like it has a bead of solder or something else on it. Can’t get it to budge following the tutorials from the interwebz.
Strange. That’s from the top looking down I assume?
the side that’s down in a hole and off to the side has shiny material on top of and all around it. Doesn’t look like melted lead. At first I thought it was just mushroomed out but the material looks blended into the bolt. I’m going to take it to my machinist friend and see what he thinks is going on. If he can’t figure it out, I may give it a kiss from my plumbing torch to see if it will melt off like solder would.

I ordered one too. I was hesitant due to their description of it being a magazine, but multiple folks here have received the Turknelli from them.
Finished installing the stock with the proper bolt (hat tip to Erwos). Now to see how Botach handles the broken stock component.
I’ve never heard of Deese but they have S4s for tree fiddy. Same weird deal with the label being wrong.

Yeah, very weird that they have the same flawed database entry as Battlehawk. That would make me nervous till proven otherwise legit.
