wdritchey Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 It’s a pet peeve I feel a tactical shotgun should absolutely have a light. I was lucky to find a M4 Gen 2 with the new proprietary rail among other features. However, Benelli makes no accessories so you must add picatinny sections provided to mount to it. It’s well made, but heavy and just inconvenient. I personally like the feel of the plastic hand guards more. In any case, I have heard complaints about literally every rail out there except the Surefire which is a little lighter than this rail, but discontinued. I do care about tool-less field stripping of the shotgun and the rail should fit correctly. These guns have been around over 20 years, surely there are some quality options out there? Photo of my shotgun as it sits… RMR and scallerworks mount on the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4prime Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Here's some discussion on my thread about the Agency rail. I really really disliked the Midwest Industries rail, although the function was there. Takedown was too difficult and required set screws that did leave marring on my titanium mag tube. I'm back with the OEM handguards, but I'm probably going to head the Agency route soon. RX Arms is also coming out with a highly anticipated heatshield / MLok rail, but there isn't a solid ETA on it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdritchey Posted January 28 Author Share Posted January 28 Yeah, the Agency rail looks even more complex than the MI rail after watching some videos on them. I think I’m going to stick to the Benelli multirail until I see anything better come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep seeing people talk about the Benelli rail or the Agency and the MI, but why isnt the Briley ever added to that list? I have the 13" Briley on my M4 and it is awesome. What do you think about it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you post some pics I would love to see yours. I just don't understand why Briley keeps getting forgotten. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the long one, the exact length escapes me at the moment.

REZARF2 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I love my Midwest Industries M4 rail too. Might as well toss that one into the mix. It is a great rail, very solid and looks great in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-nuts work. I need to get around to my project solution similar to this. I am trying to get a Tri-Rail attachment 3D printed to fit snug to the OEM handguard, it will be screwed down similar to yours. Think of the Tri-Rail attachment on Benelli MR1 or Beretta CX4, basically that. Has anyone ever tried to "weld" the 2 L/R handguard pieces together? Kind of thinking of doing that as well.

T-nuts work. I love this! Great write up too. To my understanding the multirail and this older rail are easily hot swapped too. I really love the near stock looking Surefire rails too, but holy cow they’re expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was avoiding it solely because I don’t like how much work it takes to take it off for cleaning and put back on. The factory rail just slides off, because it’s wedged on and tightened when you tighten the magazine tube nut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3one5 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 After a ton of searching I ended up going with the Agency rail for my Benlleli M2. Should be here this weekend, it was expensive so I hope I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
