Got one!! Someone on a different forum referred me to a friend of his who just has his M4 sitting around. Apparently the gun has less than 500 rounds though it, has a bunch of the good mods, including factory 7 round mag tube and the stock I want. Selling me the stock for $250 and the tube for $150. Pretty happy!

Was playing with my gun the other day and noticed the bolt release button was loose. What?! This was the OEM release lever that I drilled and tapped for a bolt release pad. For some reason that process didn't go very well, probably the wrong tap. So bought a Redneck Tactical bolt release tab and pressed-on for several + years. You'll notice I polished the heck out of it as well. Polished it in places that didn't need to be polished! I also recently did a little bending adjustment for easier loading. Probably went something like this: Not enough, still not enough, oh too much, back the other way, a little more ahh just right. So here is what I think happened: Possibly weakened the bolt release button fitment during the drill and tap process. Polished off too way too much material on the flange of the button where it's pressed into the lever. Weakened everything by bending it back and forth a bit as noted in the video above. Luckily I had a GG&G shell stop as a spare and swapped it out. Other than a little polishing, I don't think I'm gonna mess with it! My stupidity is your gain!?

Rhodes - You mentioned that the extra shell capacity is for home defense, not necessarily for hunting. In that case, for rapid reloads you may want to reconsider the velcro option on the receiver as a faster way to pull a round and feed it up into the mag tube with the support hand without having to dismount the gun. I suppose that one could do the same with a stock mounted shell holder as well (assuming you bought the Beartooth Gun Jacket model) . Not sure. Once you get it, I'd play with it a lot and consider things like speed and economy of motion during re-loads, keeping the gun at the ready (as much as possible), eyes down range, etc. Best of luck!

Mainly the weight savings. 5.5 ounces is a significant amount of weight off the front end of a shotgun. I've paid a lot more than that cutting grams off of builds sadly. The color match on the carriercomp is better than the oem or any other aftermarket tube. There are no real benefits to any specific follower other than being a 922 compliant part. The magazine spring supplied by carriercomp/wolff is considered the best out there. I have about 10k rounds on one of mine without any signs of being worn out over the past decade or so.
