[Benelli M4 magazine tube spring questions.]

I've had a few FTFs, especially with cheap Rio ammo. I ordered the CC spring. Thanks all.

[Benelli M4 magazine tube spring questions.]

How would I know if the OEM spring needs to be upgraded to a better spring?

[Cause of Misfire?]

Thanks guys. Hopefully just a bad shell.

 

M2, not the first malfunction - have had several failures to feed related to underpowered ammo. I had a shell detach from brass and get lodged in the barrel. I think that was related to user error - repeated chambering of the round.

 

SD, ammo pictured is Fiocchi.

Shooting my M1014 today and had a slug casing deform and fail to eject. It was lodged in the ejection port. I have about 2,000 rounds through the gun and have never seen this before. Any ideas?

[WTB: Benelli M4 7 Round Mag Tube]

Prefer OEM. Have one to sell? PM please.

[Who makes the best tube and spring?]

Usually the rule of thumb (if I have read correctly) is to have about 12-14 inches of spring sticking out of the mag tube before you put it all back together.

I've tried what your attempting and it seemed to work just fine at first but then I started experiencing failure to feed.

The spring just didnt have enough tension to push the last shell onto the elevator far enough for proper operation.

Buy a Carriercomp 7 rnd spring and save yourself any headaches in the future. Its cheap and well worth it.

 

While your at it, polish the inside of the tube with a bit of steel wool wrapped around a cleaning swab. Hook the rod up to a drill and give it a good 10 minutes.

The result will make it smooth and quite.

Use some Rem dry lube and your good to go!

 

CC Spring ordered. Appreciate the other tips as well! Will follow your advice.

Quick question - not a hijack I hope - I have the factory +2 extension and the original 5 round spring. Seems to work fine. Moving to the 7 rnd magazine. Any reason to think the same spring will not continue to be okay? Thanks for any help!

[Mesa Tactical Pocket Push Button Sling Mount for Urbino Stock]

Anybody using one? I'm interested. Mainly concerned about it getting caught on stuff.

[Advice for QD Flush Mount Location on M1014 Urbino Stock]

I'm a right-handed shooter. I want to install a Noveske QD flush mount on an Urbino stock on my M1014. I have the AVA Tactical light mount with the QD on the left side. I'm planning to install the mount on the right side of the stock to keep the sling away from my cheek/face. I'm not sure of the best location on the stock. One of my concerns is that if it is too low, the gun will tend to rotate in the patrol carry position. Appreciate any advice. Thanks.
