M4 just arrived and note that it came with the enhanced charging handle and bolt release found on the gen 2. This is a 11721 LE. Pleasantly surprised, and glad I held off on ordering aftermarket options. Speaking of aftermarket, bt-parts is running a firesale on the B&T quad rail ($125). Can't wait to take this out to the range!

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?
