In a way, this thread turned out to be a disappointment. I was looking forward to hear a persuasive conversation as to what made this optic a good choice. I can’t see a better choice, because I haven’t physically had one in hand. However that is what conversation is for. Possibly will be will come back a level head and produce a convincing debate. Price and a picatinny rail mount are not a convincing sales point for me.

I may be crazy, but his posts are really funny if you read them, and mentally put his words into the voice of Mr. T. I PITTY THE FOOL…..SON!

The Briley carbon fiber magazine tubes are made from three pieces. Two threaded stainless ends, then an actual carbon fiber magazine tube body. The threaded stainless ends are attached to each end of the carbon fiber tube. The trouble is the transition point between the stainless and the carbon fiber tube isn't perfectly flush. This leave a small shelf or lip on many of the tubes. Briley made a follower to try to minimize this shelf that has tapered ends to help the follower transition over the transition point. It usually works, but sometimes you'll get a tube that when you're inserting shells, you'll feel the shell hang up on the transition point. Sometimes its just a bump you can feel. Other times you can't push the shell past it. You can then play warranty games with Briley to get a better one. Another issue is if you're shooting slugs for accuracy. These carbon fiber tubes flex quite a bit. So your repeat accuracy will degrade with a flexible tube. Even the titanium magazine tubes flex more than the steel ones. A steel tube will provide the best rigid lockup for accuracy work. 75 yard slug patterns from a lead sled to minimize shooter influence: Steel: Slug shots are touching one another. Titanium: Clover patterns, sometimes a slight separation between shots. Carbon Fiber: 4-6" patterns are pretty common. You can still be delivering headshots at 75 yards. So accuracy isn't always a must. Sometimes the lighter weight outweighs the need for a heavy steel tube. For me, I'd just go with the carriercomp magazine tube. You'd only cut about 2 more ounces by going with the carbon fiber one.

Has to be a troll post 😀.

Great video! I tried to insert the video here, but ran into problems.

They are at black oxide right now. Around a week. Then I need to quality check them. I would say 1-2 weeks..

If we're taking inventory I have 15 Aimpoints (eight Micros, three PROs, four CompM4s) and 2 EOTechs, and some other stuff, but no low end red dots, don't trust 'em. And NO, I'm not a gunsmith.

I have a QD sling mount available soon, 4140 steel. Machining is complete, just waiting for surface finishing… https://rxarms.com/products/benelli-m4-parts-and-accessories/benelli-m4-qd-sling-mount-rear/

Went to the range yesterday. Everything worked great. No problem loading 8 rounds. Not FTF. Ghost loaded 10 rounds. Boy was that fun? Action shot of my buddy who emigrated from Scotland. He sent the photo to his friends in Europe titled" Sunday morning Merica!". You can see the flash pattern from the breacher choke.

I run the Nordic +1 in conjunction to the factory choke/brake. With that combo there’s plenty of room to spare.
