After increasing the pull with my home made synthetic extender (polystyrene cutting board shaped with a dremmel) I decided to take a chance on a Benelli Shim. I spoke with the parts supplier and he told me the shim was made of plastic, so for $4.00 I ordered the "D" shim which is the thickest they have.
When I looked at it after taking off the m2000 stock I could see that the shape of the shim was perfect, but I relized I had to drill a small hole in the shim to allow for the firing pin mechanism to be completely extended when the bolt is pulled back. I also had to drill a very small and shallow hole in the stock to allow the shim to seat properly in the stock.
After that I put it all together and it made a nice difference in the drop. I have not shot it yet with the shim change but I will guarantee it will make a big difference based on where my cheek position is.
NO MORE FACE RECOIL!
For anyone who says Benelli shims don't work, they are right. But with a cordless drill and literally 5 minutes of time they will work!!! smile.gif :D
