Does anyone else here see the need or think it would be helpful to have a separate "FOR SALE/WANTED" section?

I assume you were responding to a different user about a different post on here that looks like it has since been deleted and not by me yeah?

Can't say I've really noticed the weight but I have the briley carbon fiber magazine tube which probably offset some of that front end weight.

They do have a lot of configurations. There is a version that has a qd slider that slips over the nylon webbing on one end of the sling l to convert what would be a two point sling to single point. I ended up removing the slider on one that I have that came with it, not sure how to guide you on which version that is. Maybe someone else has more details, but keep hunting because it is out there. Edit: if you go to their sling hardware section on the site, it's the burnsed socket you are looking for to add the single point capability.

I've always been able to reach Benelli and receive good information. When did you call them last?

I'm game and take it if its still available! My number is 8312101098 feel free to text me and we can figure out the details ie payment and shipping. Thanks

Well, I'm glad for you that you were able to get a new bolt out of them however, that dinged up ejector shroud would bug me. It's not normal friction wear, as you know it was caused by the defective bolt and so they should have replaced the barrel as well. Hopefully that ejector shroud will stay in one piece and won't throw off a chip of metal.

Update to this- I called Benelli back. The CS guy I talked to was nice, however he was following a script, which basically said that they would need to have me send it back again, to re-review. I explained that I had already done that once with a brand new gun, providing detailed written description and pictures, however still was not resolved, and the damage and ‘repair’ to the gun was still there. I explained the switch out of the bolts with my current M1014, and how the other bolt worked in the M4. Also pointed out how the repair description itself didnt have the right name of the piece that was modified- “ejector vs extractor”. I had to push, but eventually told the CS guy to talk to a manager, which he agreed. He went to find the shop manager, and then came back a little while later and said the manager had reviewed the case and “we dont normally do this” but we would be willing to send you a replacement bolt. However we need to have your initial bolt back first. So he is sending me a return label to ship them the bolt, and then stated that once they have it they will ship me out a new bolt to test. Ironically though this call, which I intentionally remained VERY calm so as to not allow for any description of a yelling/cussing Customer, I mentioned how i had several posts going on the forum with the pictures if they needed to review to see the damage. I got the same response as I received the first time I called, that “the forum isn’t run by benelli”. I told him that was not why I was telling him this, I was telling him this both so they could see the pictures again that i had posted and printed to them, as well as the threads with the various feedback. I said that if I were Benelli management I would want to take notice of the reports/posts/pictures/concerns, as not only is it bad product but also potentially bad press for the company. I also did not say this as a threat, it was to raise awareness to them to hopefully do the right thing, in that I also work in management for a major company, and would be something that if it was happening in my company we would address and make right for the customer. I am still not happy with having to wait several more weeks to send in the bad bolt and wait to get a bolt back from them, but I will give it a chance. It does not address the damage that the initial bad bolt caused to the ejector housing. This doesnt affect function, so maybe I will just have to let that go if the new bolt works, but still a bummer all the way. PS I am trying to just post facts of what is happening without anger/threats etc, dont want to become ‘that guy’, so apologies if this is at all coming across that way.

Man..the intended resolve..or more accurately the lack of resolve..with this clearly malfunctioning part by Benelli is really pathetic. Sorry to hear Benelli is chasing their tail around vs. not properly addressing your M4. The work done to the bolt(attempted anyway) looks like it was passed off to a espresso machine repair man..it’s like Benelli got mad & took it out on your bolt for bothering them!

My order took 18 days back in Sept 2019. Let me know your order number and I will reach out to them on Fakebook.

I bought 2 M4s this year and no issues. Always good to keep in mind you get to see the best and worst online else it’s not worth posting. I’m sure several 100s to 1000s go out across the world a year. We get to read about a few issues here and there. If your unlucky enough to catch a lemon, why wouldn’t you ask for help solving the problem from the enthusiasts who know best? I know I would.

That is total crud. I bet you would have received better service from Kel-Tec or Taurus. My new M4's top rail screws came buggered up from the factory. It looks like a 9 year old installed them and the screwdriver slipped on every screw head. The only reason I didn't make an issue out of it is because I'm pulling it off for a Scalarworks mount. I'll have to post some pics one of these days. Their QC and workmanship is going the way of the Do Do Bird!

I would also not accept that. Keep fighting it.

It's crazy you had this defect in the first place. I agree, why they did not replace the parts is worthy of follow up inquiry. I've experienced lousy customer support but would definitely not expect it from Benelli.

I must agree with Unobtaninum in the fullest !! brand new gun, all parts effected should have been replaced with brand new parts or.. sent you back another brand new gun or.. refunded your money..

This is unsat. Absolutely unsat. Refund time.

Thanks Stranger. That's good to know. I saw these and searched the website looking for Installation instructions because I wanted to know exactly how it mounted. I could not find any details. I have the 11721 with the collapsible stock.

'Naked' Rein full size compliments the cerakote titanium well.

I hate waiting also. I'm more inclined to pay more and get it now.(Gotta love Gunbroker) I tell myself I didn't spend too much money I just bought it too early. So far my way overboard preparation for Hillary is paying off.
