The M4 will fire that crappy Walmart valuepack 2 3/4 birdshot all day long if you want. Gun store commando trying to sell you what he has on hand.

I started off with the cheap walmart winchester loads and my new M1014 ran like a champ from the get go. Followed up with 3" slugs and had a lot of fun. Recently installed the Urbino stock, holosun green circle dot sight and received Carrier comp 7rd Ti tube color matched midnight bronze. I'll install later today and post to the picture thread.

I went with a 50 yard zero using slugs, which felt like a good “general purpose” zero for my Aimpoint T2. A couple of inches high at 25, a couple of inches low at 100 (translation: “minute of man”). This is for my home defense load, which consists of Federal Flite Control 00 Buckshot with some PDX1 segmented slugs on the side saddle. Given how tight the Flite Control stuff patterns, the slug zero works for me. YMMV depending on your preferred ammo.

My M4 looks just like any other right now, but the custom case with a benelli flashlight and a interestingly gripped knife with a matching serial number is pretty unique. The only downside is the case is a bit oversized, and the foam isn’t cut in a way that permits adding an RMR, a light, or a stock with an adjustable length of pull so I might have to buy another pelican case.

I did just to confirm the listed timeframe and that's when the owner told me how long the real wait was.
