  1. Ok, I just purchased the 11707 M4 but it will not be here until I pay the balance after X-Mas. I have already bought the 2 mag extension Benelli in package. Yes I had to have a Benelli Product and payed 199.00 for it.

     

    That is just like me I have to get a Benelli extension not a aftermarket one. Oh well but I will soon post pics.

  2. Ok, I need to understand about the difference between both tubes. I see Benelli 6 shot tubes and the 2 shot tubes for sale. What is the difference or should I say is one for a specific M4 such as the 1014 or 11707.

  3. It is important to read the manual!!! It does not matter how old your are or experience with weapons. The manual tells you about the break in period and it does work. I have had no problems with my SBEII but I also use quality ammunition not that cheap stuff.

  4. I also read similar things on jamming about the SBE 2. I bought it anyways and have had no problems. I did read the manual and do as suggested as to shooting quality ammunition and not under power type.

     

    To break it in I went to the trap range and shot four rounds with Hi brass quality ammunition and after that there has been no problems. I can only remember two or three malfunctions using my SBE 2 but one was my fault. I checked the chamber by by pulling back the charging handle a few just to see if there was a round inside.

     

    I went to shoot and it just went click. I later found out that when I let the charging handle forward with the carrier it did not seat fully forward.

     

    I like the Benelli's and have two of them, a Nova and the SBE 2. I will be purchasing the M4 soon.

  5. Hello, I am considering purchasing the M4 but would like some advice on what to look for.

     

    Such as I have seen the limited M4 out there that has no screw in chokes and not the fix stock but it rotates to each side but will not adjust back.

     

    What is the newest of the M4 on modifications that are made to the newer ones coming out of production?

     

    I have also heard of the adjustable stocks but they wont fit certain postban M4's if your replacing the fixed stock.

     

    Just need some advice before the big buy. Thx :cool: :cool: :cool:

    Hey all , thought I would post some experiences I've had while taking this course. Its being given by a major law enforcement agency which I cant name (sorry)

     

    The Tactical Shotgun Course is an Instructor level course for SWAT and Firearms Instructors.

     

    Its a five day course with alot of shooting , right now I just finished day two.

     

    I'm using a Benelli M4 shotgun , it has the B&T rail system , a tac star side saddle , a gg&g oversize bolt handle , an aimpoint comp M and a spector 3 pt. sling and a forward vertical grip

     

    Day 1- classroom topics such as types of sg's , ammo selection , applications , zeroing , sights , slings etc...

     

    We also shot 125 rounds mix of #8 , OO and slug . The Benelli handled everything well but I did have a couple of malfunctions with the #8 which I attributed to an improper grip on my part ( I was getting tired as it was like 100 degrees) Once I figured it out I held the gun a little tighter and it ran smooth.

     

    My shot groups were insanely tight ;) Everyone wanted to finger**** it after the range session.

     

    Recoil on this gun is the lightest I have ever felt on any shotgun , my recovery times were tight and many times I was the first done on the strings.

     

     

    Day 2 - the heat index was 111 degrees :eek:

     

    classroom topics include manual of arms , tac and combat reloads , terminal ballistics ,, shooting positions , transitions , tactics etc...

     

    We then hit the range for 4 HOURS ! :mad: I thought I was gonna pass out , we fired 150 rds again mixed and 250 rds pistol.

     

    50 yards using standard 1 oz slugs was cake and I shot a nice group . Had only one malfunction again my fault due to exhuastion. Shot a 100% on the qual course (we qual every day )

     

    So far I must say that the only concern is the weight of the M4 with all the **** I have hanging on it. I know it helps absorb recoil but I'm begining to feel that for prolonged use it can be a burden , additionally the side saddle gets hung up sometimes on my sling under stress shooting. It may have to go... The B&T rail system , gg&g bolt handle , the aimpoint and forward vertical grip all rock !

     

    If you guys are interested I'll keep you all updated. Tomorrow is night fire

  7. Does Your SuperNova have the comfort tech stock if so thats your recoil reducer system with the gel pad. If it does not then I think the recoil reducer can be installed in the stock.

     

    If you need one I can sell you the bracket and mercury reducer cheap.

  8. :cool: When You pay alot of money for a weapon and want it too last then why would you shoot cheap ammo. You take your weapon out to the range to sight it in , pattern and ect but you use cheap ammo, why??

     

    Would you use cheap ammo for Defense loads? I wouldnt. One day at a Carbine class a buddy of mine was using wolf ammo. The instructor saw this and said what the **** are you using that stuff for. This instructor has alot of credit behind his classes including teaching at Gunsite in AZ where military and law enforcement attend to train.

  9. depends on the MOA you have chosen. The Acog is very good but when in CQB situation the red dot of the Aimpoint is excellent and fast. The Aimpoint lens can be partialy obstructed and you can see the red dot to the side and its not centered when this happens. But all you need to do is put the dot on target and you will still hit your target and thats how they are made.

     

    A friend has many of is buds who are Delta and other special forces and yes Acogs are excellent but they cant say anything bad about the Aimpoint ML3 it takes a beating but still works great with that long 50,000 hrs of battery life.

  10. tongue.gif Yes I would have to agree with USMARINE, alot of the problems is not mounting the weapon properly so the inertia system can function correctly.

     

    For example when you shoot a handgun and limp wrist it during a shoot, you can cause a malfunction such as a stove pipe or misfeed. Remember when duck hunting with soft heavy clothing to keep warm just make sure your mounting it correctly.

  11. :D :D There could be a simple reason why this is happening besides the cleaning and ect. The problem could be when your mounting the weapon, remember the inertia system needs a stable resting place when the weapon is in motion. Just a thought.

     

    when Handgunners limp wrist the weapon a malfunction happens and this could be the problem.
