I picked mine up today. Its a Gen 1 and I thought I was buying a Gen 2. No big deal. The nicer $60 fix to the bolt latch is available on backorder and Beretta has a $10 shroud fix as well on their web store. I bought the Beretta shroud. To be honest I thought the malfunction would be super easy to replicate but you really have to smash the latch button hard to do it. The $10 dollar fix should be a legit solution. I do wish the gun had the Gen 2 screw in chokes though. Compared to the M4 it is lighter which is ok for certain purposes but that lightness makes it feel like an airsoft toy compared to the M4.

Great firearm there and 922 compliant. The stippling really improves the feel over OEM handguards. You can deal with Milspec with confidence.

I recently got an m4/mag upgrade and dealt with the 6 rounds problem. I could only fit 7 with target loads, 6 with everything else. I'm spamming the top googled threads with this reply because got sick of being told it's about shell length and unfixable, or I have to cut my spring to fix it. I could never find a thread that just gave me a clear answer about an easy spring swap or anything else that worked. I'm blown away by how hard it was to find a clear answer on this simple topic. The fix? I replaced the factory spring with a wolff m4 spring from freedom fighter tactical and it went from being a half inch away from holding 7, to holding 7 of anything 2 3/4" long. It's tight, but mine holds 7 of everything now. This isn't meant to be an ad for wolff, as there may be others out there that would fix the problem, but it worked for me and should for you. Non-target-load 2 3/4in shells are longer and that's a fact, but assuming your m4 parts are the same dimensions as mine which they should be, your M4 WILL hold 7+2 if you get the spring replaced. I hope I can bring a few people's blood pressure down if you are dealing with the same problem and as frustrated as me with the threads full of non answers out there.
