Hi guys. It’s been awhile since I’ve posted but I’ve been reading frequently about all the improvements you all have been making to your M4s. I was able to do a couple small things like the TTI extended carrier and tried out various bolt handles. You guys are a gigantic wealth of information! Thank you! I don’t yet quite have the gunsmithing confidence to make sure that my M4 is built correctly, so I sent it off to Briley to get a bunch of work done. They did the elite package for me as well as the 6 position buffer tube. It took close to 3 months as they explained the buffer tube wasn’t commercially available yet but they were going to get it for me. Needless to say, my credit card has vastly outpaced my skill level. Last time I saw my credit card it was heading westbound over the horizon. If anyone sees it, use your Benelli and put it out of its misery. Now, I’m hoping to up my game with defensive shotgun classes at Sig Sauer Academy this week. I’ve had that on the books for quite awhile and that’s why I ended up sending it off to Briley, so I could have the mods I wanted done correctly before the classes. I thought I’d share some pictures in case anyone was interested how it turned out from Briley. I was thinking about losing the iron sights to shed some weight, not sure if it would make much difference, but one thing I noticed that makes me feel I should keep them and possibly upgrade them to tritium sights, is when I use the weapon light it washes out the red dot on the SRO. I’m thinking if I need to use it with the light on, I would have to revert to the irons. Anyone experience this issue?

I remain a Benelli Parts shell stop fan.

My Dad was nice enough to film me having another go at the targets under NODS. It's a trick to time the lighting where Sionyx has enough light and yet the L3 filmless tubes aren't ABC'ing down bad.

Recoil is identical. What actuslly differs is the blast, fireball, and slap/concussion with full house slug or buck. Use low recoil and life is better.

As much of a PITA as changing that tube is, you make it without cost in mind, imo!

The Sionyx is my Dad's Father's Day gift. I bought it for him so that he can go on walks and look at "what was that noise" and record things and share it with his wife when they go walking or whatever. It's not meant for anything but fun and building quality time for him. I took it out, charged all of the batteries, and configured the camera settings for him so that when he unwraps it, it's 100% ready to roll. This was just a test video I did. Here is my setup: L3 filmless tubes that I spec'ed.

with that many different positions some indicator is probably necessary. looks good. i wasn't planning on getting one, but i'm reconsidering now.

Metal has been ordered. Don't want to get too optimistic on pricing as I am still waiting on the cost of making the spring retaining ring. But is looking like will be less than $150 USD at the moment which was my goal. But I wanted your guys' opinion on something. Was thinking about laser engraving the stock positions on the flat portion. Rough idea attached. Yay or Nay?

Exactly, cerakoting those extensions is not the best idea. The tolerances are so tight that that couple of microns of coating makes the stock harder to adjust.
