AR-BALLISTIC

I just purchased this FOLLOWER for my M4 from BROWNELLS and installed it fine. My question for you guys is its a little SHORTER than the FACTORY FOLLOWER is that a problem. Seems oK I haven't taken the M4 out yet to test it and figured I would ask first.Also the old factory FOLLOWER has this little RED plastic piece that snaps into the follower. Am I suppose to snap that into the BROWNELLS aluminum follower or just install the new aluminum follower as is. Thanks.

I have owned the AIMPOINT COMP M2 but not the COMP M4... I sold the AIMPOINT because I just prefer the EOTECH SIGHTS.

I don't know about you but 00 BUCK and Deer Slugs are pretty damn badass to put any would be attacker down if that's what you are looking to hear. Our military uses the M4 with 00 buck so if its good enough for them than its good enough for me. Plus their are probably hotter loads out there but I sure don't want to harm my M4s action with it. Mike;)

I think it was a LIMITED EDITION M1014 that fetched that price. Standard M4 are in the $1500 to $1700 range these days depending on the stock and color. Mike

Just curious bro... What do the bolt carrier and handguards have to do with replacing the 4 port barrel?

Man I am sorry to hear that. As for myself I have had only positive C.S. experience with Benelli. They took very good care of me and in a timely manner. Take care.

No problemo bro;) Hope you get it. Mike

They all look good to me. Great stuff guys. Mike:D

That is an awesome setup you have there. As for the M3X I am confident it can withstand 12 guage recoil without any problems. In fact SIDEARMOR actually recommended the M3 when I purchased the mount.

INSIGHT makes some great weapon lights. The M3X being one of the best for the M4. It adds a fraction of the weight to the weapon compared to the SUREFIRES.

Those are very nice M1014. You shoot those or just take them out for photos. They look like serious collectors pieces. Mike

Those are just milling to help lighten the mount because there are more you just can't see in the pic. Also I have a much smaller weapon light on mine the INSIGHT M3X which is perfect size and bright as heck. Mike

I agree and really like mine. It adds very little weight to the weapon and it is designed so you can remove the barrel with it still attached.

Not mine but a pic I found here somewhere:

What do you mean bro. Save the original set after buying the U.S. Made set? or forget about getting a U.S. made set?

Right now I am using the original SIDEARMOR M-401 RAIL on my M4 to accommodate the INSIGHT light I am using. I will most likely wait on the MESA STOCK. my main issue is I have a Benelli Factory FULL LENGTH MAG TUBE I want to use so I am going to need a total of 3 replacement parts to allow me to use it. Thanks to you the U.S. made FOLLOWER is ordered. Now I need 2 more U.S. made parts. The Mesa Stock will be an option so what else can I go with other than a replacement FOREARM?

Thank you bro. One part down 2 to go.

Any update on this?

Thanks for the advice. I typed BENELLI FOLLOWER on Brownells site and all the FOLLOWERS that come up say BENELLI as the MANUFACTURER. Just looking for a little help on U.S. made parts to add to my M4 to become 922r complaint. And advice on WHICH parts you guys recommend. HERE IS A GREAT POST I FOUND from MeanGreen with the info I needed I will repost it if anyone else needs the info: MeanGreen MeanGreen is offline Member Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: San Francisco, CA Posts: 43 Default ATF Response to Legality of Full Length Mag Tube on Benelli M4 I recently received back a letter from the ATF's Chief of Firearms Technology in West Virginia regarding the legality under 922 r of putting a full length magazine tube on a Benelli M4, the same Benelli M4 that has the pistol grip stock. I was completely confused by all the stuff posted on the internet by everyone who has their own opinion and everyone will give you a different answer. But this shouldn't come as a surprise when you try and call your local ATF branch to talk to a Special Agent to get an answer and find out that most agents don't know what 922r is or how it applies. Thankfuly I spoke to an humble agent that told me she didn't know what 922 r was and refered me to the Firearms Technology Branch in West Virginia. Upon talking with someone, who I think may have been the chief that ended up responding to my letter, his warning was that since there are many zealous new agents out there that don't know how 922 r applies, that the best thing to do was to write in and get a response in writting. And then hold onto this letter like it was made of gold. I have to stress the reason for the letter is for my own protection against law enforcement agents that do not correctly interpret the law. I know that most people think it maybe stirring up some interest by the ATF into people that want to change their M4's, but when talking with the person in the Technology branch his response was more like "I do these letters for lots of M4 owners to protect them from zealous agents." This letter clearly states that there are 13 imported parts (contradicting another letter I've seen online that stated 11) and that it is legal to add a full length mag tube or extension greater than 4 rounds provided that you add three US made parts to get to the magic "No more than 10 imported parts" I can't figure out how to attach the files. Everytime I click on 'Manage Attachments', it tells me "you have uploaded the maximum amount of 1 files". I have already scanned them in as PDFs so that I can share them. So if someone can give me any tips I'll attach them. EDITED AFTER POST #17 SINCE I NOW HAVE THE LETTERS POSTED: Please read my original request to understand the context of his responses Original Request to ATF: http://i25.tinypic.com/2u7xdzn.jpg ATF Response pg 1 http://i30.tinypic.com/sxhn2r.jpg ATF Response pg 2 http://i26.tinypic.com/etwkkn.jpg Here is a list of the parts that the Chief listed in the letter for quick reference. 1) Receiver 2) Barrel 3) Bolt 4) Bolt Carrier 5) Gas Piston 6) Trigger Housing 7) Trigger 8) Hammer 9) Disconnector 10) Buttstocks 11) Forearm 12) Magazine body 13) Followers

If you have the money MICROTECH knives are TOP OF THE FOOD CHAIN when it comes to automatic knives. They are just unbeatable quality wise. Very expensive but worth the money if you have it to spend. I really like some of their older models like the HALO II and HALO III out the front knives. http://www.microtechknives.com/home.html

Trying to make my M4 922r compliant with some U.S. made parts so I can use a factory FULL LENGTH MAG TUBE I already own. Could somebody please post some links to the appropriate sites that sell U.S. parts for the M4. Looking for a U.S. made FOLLOWER and whatever else you guys can recommend to accomplish my task . Thanks. Mike UPDATE: Got the FOLLOWER ( Thanks Hookster)

Thanks Skeeter. Especially if shooting WOLF 00 BUCK. A bit dirty.

Hey guys... How far do you break down your M4 when cleaning it. Is there a certain round count before you clean it or do you clean yours everytime after shooting. Thanks , Mike

Pistol grip in Cali is not a problem as long as the stock is FIXED.
