I want one:

Are you sure about the 10 round thing? I thought it was 5 rounds for semiauto shotguns. I don't live in the PRK though, just what I heard.

caligvla, I have a red dot scope (BSA I think...something cheap) on my M4 similar in concept to the EOtechs, and it is great fun to shoot clays with. Granted, only trap, but have heard others have similar giggles with skeet. Sure beats sighting done a ribbed barrel.

Funny, I just got back and saw this response. For the full auto AK 47 shooting 7.62x39, I can pull the trigger as fast as that AK will shoot but for only 3 rounds before the AK beats it. Seems that way when standing there...no nanosecond clocks or high speed cameras here. Of course, that's with someone else on the AK trigger and me right next to him on the M4..I am not good enough to hold both simultaneously. Maybe Glockguy is a genius and can do that. I'll take that bet about 20 shots off from the AK before the 2nd round chambered. That M4 cycles FAST! My limited mental capacity only knows that my MP5 is much faster at cycling and rounds/minute than the AK. 1 round of buckshot at close range will stop the intruder regardless of cycle rate, rounds fired, mud in the barrel, relative humidity. I don't do home defense with rifle or pistol because I care about my neighbors and family. The M4 will still stop the dude coming through with that auto AK before the rest of my family gets hurt. As far as dragging through the mud, the USMC has tested this for me and I learn from other's experiences, unlike some mental midgets. Yes, I luv beating dead horses into glue.

At least it says free shipping:eek:

Comparing an 870 to an M4 is a non sequitur. I own both, and of course, the 870 I've owned for 20 years, and even bought used . It works well, hasn't broken yet (knock on woody). BUT, I would not bet my life on it when I have an M4 available. A little less than 1000 rounds without a hickup and the M4 is my choice of self defense close quarters firearm. I've seen LEOs training with their 870's, but the M4 would just stomp if they had it. You try to come through my door with an 870, I'll bet I'll win. To paraphrase a favorite movie line "you'll look pretty stupid to the coroner with that (insert choice of weapon here) sticking out of your ass"

Wow, it's a huge landside! so far. I bet they won't publish that result at all.

Does the bolt move far enough that it brings up the shell? Just doesn't fire? Since this is an inertia system, are you holding it tight? Tried other brands/loads? Specifically, try any heavy loads or did you do a heavy load break-in? Just trying to spout off a few obvious nuisance things that plague us from time to time. Hope it's just it needs a good break in with heavy stuff. Please let us know your progress.

Use the Search feature and you will see plenty of opinions, but some folks like the smaller Doctor Optic and others over the bigger Eotechs.

My favorite quotes: I carry a gun because I can't carry a cop. When seconds count, cops are minutes away. Anyone know when the Supreme Court gonna rule on the DC gun ban?(yeah I know, another off topic post) HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Thanks Ding. I have a Gemtech for Colt M4 and very happy with it. Never seen a surefire so I didn't feel like plopping just under $1k for an unknown entity. Now if someone could devise one for the Benelli M4, I'd get it:D

How much is Surefire asking for their suppressors? It doesn't say on the site.

Some 2+ extensions like the surecycle have to be removed before you break down the gun. The collar won't let you slide off the barrel. However, I have one because it was less than $100 and I don't plan on breaking it down that often. I think the full length tube is definitely nicer but I didn't want to fiddle with heating the locktite etc etc. Someone posted about Dave Metal Work's full length tube, and it might be cheaper than SoCom guy's, but the latter is a proven entity.

Thanks for the link Mr d. You have a good memory. I didn't remember that technique was actually 'official'. Happy Veterans Day!

I had some time to kill, so here's a video of what Thunderbolt described so nicely. http://s57.photobucket.com/albums/g225/afpj1/m4/?action=view&current=m4final.flv

Benelli use to have 3 (C, IC, Mod) come with it but this year it only comes with one:confused:. According to the website now it would be the Cylinder choke. Fine for home defense, but a little tough if you want to do trap. Yes, mine does look odd at a trap range with the collapsible pistol grip stock and red dot sight, but it does well.

OOoooh, 8+1. That's plenty for home defense too. Thanks for the reply. Now I have to think about getting a full length tube. Which mag extension is that? It looks like that extension has the detents to hold it in place like a mag cap?? Thanks again.

Nice grouping. I apologize for my ignorance, as I am strictly smoothbore and an amateur one at that, but are rifled chokes graded? ie IC, mod etc? I know nothing about rifled chokes. Also, did you have to compensate for the range or are the groupings pretty much point of aim? Lastly, what is that at the end of your full length mag (since I don't have one) another mag extension? special standoff device? Thanks. I haven't been around too often lately so I haven't seen your other posts if you described these in the past, and since I am inquiring about the choke, I got lazy and didn't do a search...

Congrats P.J. Now you get to agonize over which accessories to get...

Like Super M4, I put one on my M4 and it works great. I had some concerns at first (about the longer/stiffer spring) but the company owner actually answers the phone and is quite helpful and down to earth. The only drawback for the M4 is that you have to disassemble the extension to remove the barrel, unlike some of the others. But, my tolerances are such that I have to even remove the 'dummy' extension that comes stock to field strip the thing so to me it made no difference.

Glad that the store took it back. There's something wrong if it doesn't cycle that many different brands especially for a pump. DId they offer a possible explaination? Chamber need polishing? Your son will probably like the less felt recoil of the Stoeger anyway. BTW, you may have seen this old article but the recoil reducer idea seems nice and has been discuused on this forum at various times: http://www.gunhuntermag.com/features/050926Stoeger.htm

Poor brass sounds about right. Too much expansion etc. Never have used that Fasteel stuff but would have to agree on trying different brand(s).

Wow! Now that's a cleaning guide! Only thing that's missing is a Benelli branded table.
