The factory-original buttstock and forend assembly of the Benelli M3 Super 90 shotgun serves as the interface between the firearm and the shooter. Typically constructed from synthetic materials or wood, this assembly provides a stable platform for aiming and firing, contributing significantly to the weapon’s control and overall effectiveness. Different configurations, including pistol grips and collapsible stocks, are available to suit specific needs and preferences.
A properly fitted assembly is crucial for comfortable and accurate shooting. It influences the shooter’s ability to manage recoil, acquire targets quickly, and maintain proper cheek weld. The choice of material and design can also affect the shotgun’s overall weight and balance. Historically, wooden furniture was standard, but advancements in polymer technology have led to the widespread adoption of lighter, more durable synthetic options. This evolution reflects a continuous improvement in ergonomics and practicality for various applications, from hunting and sport shooting to law enforcement and military use.
