+1. I've searched but haven't found a way to get that handguard. The incorporated heat shield on top would be great. If it ever does come available, I imagine it will cost a small fortune.

Small update. After a long 4-5 months since I initially started this project, I am happy to say, the tubes are machined and completed. Im hoping to get them off for heat treating next week, then PVD finishing thereafter, slowly but surely...

This is more a documentary of my personal evolution. I am not an instructor, "expert", or Holiday Inn frequenter, and would be happy to hear how I can improve. That said, a big reason for my fumble on the live drill is I loaded the shot card mixed, when I typically leave it all slug. It tripped me up. Normally, its all buck in the gun, and all slug for select slug on the card.

Speaking of RxArms ... Good job on that Benelli M4 Bolt Release Tab! Nice, simple clean lines. I just got it and it worked like a charm in my office. I was looking forward to trying it out at the range, but that will have to wait now that I won't have a barrel for 3 weeks or so.

Hello Benelli owners, I got a really great deal on an almost new Benelli M2 from a local gun dealer, minus the chokes! My question is this; is my barrel a cryo treated barrel? The choice of chokes, wether or not they are Benelli or aftermarket is not as straight forward as I was hoping. Need help identifying which chokes I need to obtain for my gun. Thanks in advance! Confused in Tennessee

An option would be a wave spring washer. I have quite a few of them actually from a prior product I did. PM me if you want one, just pay shipping and it’s yours.

thank you, I am so excited, I really like the oem handguards fully stippled that I can do + IWC QD mount but the only reason I ask about those x2 rails is.. the IWC mount especially NP3 is $100+ so its not far off from a MI with discount. does anyone have a spare GG&G bolt release? here it is before I get it and add some "upgrades" I got : TTI charging handle, TTI shell lifter, Daves MW safety, Blitzkrieg components tritium chevron front sight post, Diamond D custom Alaskan leather sling, and a Streamlight TLR1 HL light temporarily , FFT and oem fully stippled hand-guards I am looking at getting: •GG&G or FFT bolt catch/release •Scalar works mount + RMR •Limbsaver stock pad •IWC QD mount for stock and upfront for light maybe a follower potentially in the future an A&S trigger guard and Strangerdanger port work / TI tube and end cap

Was the M4 lubed at all? When I bought a Beretta 92FS, it wouldn't function. That was disappointing, but after I lubed it, it functioned flawlessly ever since. For that reason, I always lube any new gun. Some may argue that an M4 shouldn't require lube, but I lube.

so whats the consensus from the hive mind, oem handguard stippled still the way to go? or MI handguard, just about to pick up my new NP3 m4 this week and debating on stippled oem handguard + NP3 IWC QD mount or MI handguard, is the MI considered go to over the Briley !?

This ammunition is, as you discovered, just on the ragged edge of function. I have a case of it and have tested it, as well. It is NOT indicative of typical 9 pellet 00B at 1250fps in the least. This is a special case situation where the numbers on the box do not add up to the expected results. A better solution for you is Federal LE132 00 or Federal LE133 00.

I placed my light under the barrel for that very reason, no more shadow-casting.

Bought an H2O with 7-round mag but they sent me the 5-round version. Just after I upgraded to 7-round tube, I saw a brand new, old-stock with factory 7-round mag.

Here’s a couple of mine

When I have to leverage stuff, I go Arisaka only. 7075 is very critical here. https://arisakadefense.com/inline-scout-mount-m-lok/ I've seen 5.56 guns break 6061 one's. The pictures are now gone, but you get the idea. https://www.ar15.com/forums/AR-15/Maybe-ultralight-scout-mounts-aren-t-a-good-idea-/20-758035/?page=1&anc=bottom#bottom

Finally got around to installing another Limbsaver to my second M4. Stranger as always is spot on, the new plastic material Limbsaver switched to for the plate ain’t very cooperative when drilling & progressing up to a 7/8” hole, took me a while longer this time but she’s tight n’ right now! Btw..wtf is up with the Limbsaver packing statement: “Designed with Anti-Muzzle Jump Technology”??…sounds like a FlexSeal info-mercial!

SD, thank you for the update. This is good to know!

Here’s a closeup of the benelliparts one installed

I like this a lot.

Update: I installed the bolt release button. Thanks to StrangerDanger for the awesome instructions. Here are a couple of pictures. Thanks

The larger the button, the easier it is to break the post the button is mounted to. This post is welded into the body of the stamped sheet metal latch. If you hit it hard or twist it, it can break the weld and you end up with a shitty fidget spinner. I broke a GG$G years ago when unscrewing the pad without holding the pad with a wrench. GG$G did replace it for me. I wish FFT had spent more time improving the latch so that it was easier/smoother to load the M4. They’re set up with a plater too, wouldn’t hurt to have the latch Np3 plated. This added value would make the price point more palatable and would possibly convince owners who already have a GG$G to upgrade.

Looks great and may pick one up. I've always just run the OEM bolt release and can certainly agree the factory one is a good bit too small.

The price is certainly up there!

This hasn't sold bc he is asking B's price for something that is 200. These are the people that will stab you in the back when shtf. You can buy a panzer m4 clone for 429 and the adjustable stock for 62 shipped. Save yourself 300 and buy ammo.
