  1. I posted this solution to the ARGO system years ago. Both a hand held tool and a Delrin slotted compression pin to release / install the ARGO pin secured in a vise. The factory tool is does not seem to be as kind as the Delrin and polished hand held tool.

  2. You can mount a rail to the OEM handguards....did it many years ago when the forum old guard were spitballing solutions. T-nuts work.

  3. I looked at pictures of the M4A1 supernova stock and it definitely looks like it uses the same pistol grip portion as the regular M4. Its rare to find pictures of the left side. You can see the notch on the left side of the grip where the unlock button sits when the stock is fully collapsed on the M4 model. Personally I'm not a big fan of the M4A1 "upgrades". So converting it to have a traditional stock is a solid choice in my opinion. The enhanced RXArms extension is the way to go!

  4. I forgot about the safety spring depressor tool he made too. Here’s a picture of the tools. Hope he’s doing well. I know he traveled internationally for work.

  5. As Sly Stone put it, "different strokes for different folks". Some may desire one over the other but I don't think you could go wrong with either, or both.

  6. I have stippled a ton of Glocks over the years to give them more grip. Has anyone here stippled their Nova or SuperNova? I can't see how the plastic would react any differently to heat. I am going to chop down my Nova's stock and use the scrap from the stock as a test sample but I wanted to see if anyone here has already taken the plunge? Any lessons learned? I am working on a Nova pawn shop find I am converting to a SBS. Its project "cheap-scape" I bought the gun for $200 at a local pawn shop and I'll add a $200 stamp and pretty much be done. Here is a cheesy rendering.

  7. 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? Photo of my shotgun as it sits… RMR and scallerworks mount on the way.

  8. I asked that same question from Benelli and eventually got a response from Italy. Just take the screw out and remove the red insert. Then place the silver oval in place. You can use a drop of glue to bond it. I used a tiny bit of gorilla glue on the underside of the medallion and a drop on the serrations on the insert post. Tap on the medallion with a rubber mallet. I used a gunsmith hard rubber mallet (you can by that for cheap on Amazon). Be careful because once you drive that medallion in you cannot remove it. I had to pound on the medallion pretty hard to get the sides to be reasonably flush with the wood. Don't use anything harder than hard rubber or you will marr the wood. Don't start the installation until you have the proper type of mallet. It worked pretty well and looks good. I found an engraver in Denver that beautifully hand engraved my initials in the medallion with some scroll border work. He did an awesome job and his charge for the work was reasonable. If you want more details about that and a photo PM me and let me know.

  9. Such a cool product. The time and effort you’re putting in to being innovative products to an older design isn’t lost on me. My M4 is an entry model so I won’t be able to try this but I LOVE how it will allow a “c-clamp” grip. So rad. I just ordered a M4 charging handle last night from your site. Keep it up man, your eye for details is what impresses me.

  11. Our 6 position recoil tube is only compatible with the original legacy OEM collapsible stock. So it would work for your needs if I understand you correctly.

  12. Got it, many thanks! (I forgot to look at the separate schematic for stocks... I need some TACO's) Once again, those items "should" be able to be reused from what's already on the new M4...

  13. That piece fits inside the pistol grip and applies tension as you tighten the grip onto the receiver extension. It's part #120 on this picture.

  14. OK, CONFIRMED: All of the internal parts of the 5-Position Tube Assembly (# 70135) are the exact same as the internal parts of the older/previous 3-Position Tube Assembly (# 70043). Verified by two (2) unit armorers and Benelli C.S. today. This means that I can use the extra OEM M4 Collapsible Stock (# 70085) I have already on the new M4 Entry if I can find a plain 3-Position Tube itself (# 70130). I know the newer LE M4's may have a "better" collapsible stock w/ 5 positions and are now common with LE M3's and SuperNova's, but I like & prefer the classic "look" for the original M4 c-stock. I do see some aftermarket 6-Position tubes out there, but I've yet to hear or see anything on them working out with the older c-stock parts...

  15. I haven’t handled one to say for certain, but I imagine the internals are the same so they could remain compatible with the pistol grip stock and field stock. I can’t imagine why they’d force themselves into making new parts. However, we are talking Benelli here…

  16. M4 is more robust. I have all 3, the berettas are a lot of plastic… M4 is heavier but can go through a battle field and still function if dropped, banged around, thrown around etc, to be honest I wouldn’t ever take a 1301 or a 300UP into a battle if the M4 was there as a choice. the berettas shine in sport shooting. Pick your poison.

  17. I would imagine u can’t go wrong with either pick. I have heard great things about each. That being said I own an M4. Largely because of the reputation it has with the USMC, it became my dream gun. Truth be told, I was unaware of the 1301 when I got mine a few years ago. Otherwise, I think I would’ve had a much a harder decision. What really helped me make the leap was a thread on arfcom written by the manager/owner/whomever of a shooting range in Las Vegas regarding the sturdiness and reliability of the M4. I believe the name of the range is Battlefield Las Vegas. They cater to a lot of tourists because they rent machine guns. He wrote a lengthy thread describing the parts breaking in even the most reliable of guns like the Rem 870 and Mossberg 500 guns. He had raving review of the Benelli M4/M1014 and that even after 10s of thousands of rounds it never broke a single part and was never not available for rent due to repair. Now this was a thread from many years ago, quite possibly before the 1301 came to market, let alone the A300 ultimate patrol. I’m sure if u did a search u will find the thread. It definitely helped me get over the cost of the M4. Love mine, even after putting another 1k into it to make it how I wanted it. With all that said, I will likely own Beretta 1301 and possibly the A300 Ultimate Patrol eventually. Good luck with whatever u choose.

  18. They seem to be machined well. Not sure why they skipped the drainage holes though. I wouldn’t go out of my way to put a 6 position in over an oem 3 position. I’m not that sensitive to stock length. I usually just throw it fully open.

  19. Great choice, be patient it will be a long wait. They are backordered. Could be 60 - 120 days.
