The JKenny was developed for competition use. I ended up buying both the JKenny and the M2 latch to compare. I wanted to see for myself if the $150 JKenny latch is superior to the $45 M2 latch. I can say the OEM latch has gotten a little easier over the past few months to load, but it still doesn’t compare to the M2 latch. I can load shells with the M2 latch installed with my index finger easily. No more Benelli thumb. Knowing what I know now, I would have made the M2 latch one of the first things on the list to upgrade on my M4. In my opinion, $45 well worth it if you’re okay not being able to drill and tap for the larger pad as previously noted. I’m still gonna put the JKenny latch through it’s paces once it arrives and decide which to keep on. Thanks, Garza

Yes it had crossed my mind, but I’d like to keep things as realistic as I can. But ya it has crossed my mind to use shipping/handling/processing as a means to increase the price. With all this said, for this batch, I’m happy with the price I’m able to offer it at.

Just an update, I cleaned and oiled it and it shoots great now. I thought about trying that before posting but didn't figure that would help since it was a new gun. Thank you all for your help, hopefully this will help someone else that might have the same problem.

I did the 7 round card and actually had to remove the loop part to swap out the 5 round tube for a 7 round tube. Doing so didn't mar the receiver one bit or leave any residue.

I’ve done the homework, here is the pricing for $138 list: 99 USD value (under the $100 ATF limit) Minor Firearms Component M4 6 Position Recoil Tube (Customs Label “Shotgun Accessories” HST Code 9305.20.80 Found in Chapter 93) $39 USD Value for 5 pack internal retaining springs (Customs Label “Screws Nuts and Bolts” HST Code 7318.13.00 found in Chapter 73) $20 shipping and handling is extra

Got the initial prototypes today, scheduled for production in about 3 weeks… slides very nice and is tight on the notches. Complete with “drain holes” for a punch to get the spring out. some surface finishing aspects will be improved for final run (even though these look pretty good). the wall thickness is so thin in some areas I may not be able to do black nitride. At least not a full bath (usually 90 minutes). I might do a short bath of 7 minutes or so to at least get a microscopic layer of corrosion resistance, then hot black oxide after. I’ll post more pics once I get it on the gun and do some function tests.
