    Benelli M4 advice on purchase!!!

    in Benelli

    Posted

    Ok, I have my new M4 and it is nice. It was very easy to add my 2 shot extension tube after removing the spring. I cleaned it up, added oil and put it together. Wow its nice looking and now time to go shoot it. I now need to buy a Cyl choke for the M4 so I can shoot slugs becuase it only came with a Mod choke.

     

    This is my third Benelli the other two are, SBE II and the Nova pump both in 26". I will try out the Hornaday 00 buck tap round with 8 pellets and see what type of pattern . I will need to get a tritium front sight and look for a sling. I need the sling for Transitions from rifle to handgun.

     

    Congrats on your new shotgun....you will soon notice that you do not shoot your other shotguns much at all anymore, then you will find you cant stop adding slings, full length tubes, vertical grips, lasers, optics, stand off devices, railed handguards, bipod, bayonet lugs.....beer tap, maybe even gernade launcher until it weighs sooo much you need help to field it :D

    Question-new Benelli owner

    Took me a long time to get to this point....got a tip on a SBE selling for around 500 and I couldn't believe it when the wife said go for it....oh yeah, I wrote that one down to read later :) I was told that the gun didn't cycle reloads and that it shot high. I wasn't worried because I've heard on this forum how good CS is at Benelli. The recoil spring hadn't ever been cleaned, and this gun was supposedly purchased back in '97 or '98. The gun now cycles like a dream. I put some heat to the recoil tube near the base and was able to back the plug out and clean the tube and the spring, and lightly reoil.

     

    Now here is the question....the stock retaining bolt, that screws into the tube, was cut short so the previous owner could get a socket on it...apparently didn't have a 6" extention. How long is this bolt supposed to be? I was able to start a 8 mm nut in order to back the threads back off, but is that bolt a fine or course threaded 8mm? Anyone know? CS was not able to help.

     

    Now all I have to do is find out if shim A will solve the low POI and I'm good to go. Curious, when did they go with the raised rib, this barrel is almost like a Monte and don't know if it's the gun or me.

     

    Sorry for the long post...lots of great info here, thanks for the shortening the homework!

     

    Tucker will be on shortly and I'm sure he will have the answer all typed out in detail for you before he has his first cup of coffee this morning :D

    Review: Mesa Tactical 6-Shot Holder for M4

    in Benelli

    Posted

    Any problems with thesheels falling out with magnum loads.. I am wondering because I'm researching and want to get the 8 shot saddle for a m4, and have had nothing but problems on my m1's and m3 ???:confused:

     

    just put one on my M1014 last week, talked with the fella from Mesa for a long time on the phone about this problem and he explained to me that with the new material they are using now that holds the shells in that this would no longer be an issue....I held off for a long time putting one on mine, after putting it on I can't believe I waited! one of the best additions to my shotty for sure. plus this would be another U.S. made part twords your total count ;)

    usda raids hunting preserve

    in Benelli

    And why are you posting this political drivel here?

    I researched the case, and it appears to me that the USDA acted within the law.

     

    These people were operating an illegal preserve (mammalian preserves are illegal in VA). Virginia law prevents the operation of such preserves in order to preserve the integrity of indiginous species and to guard against the introduction of exotic diseases into livestock and wild populations.

     

    Having moved their operation from one county to the next and not obtaining the proper permits, the owners violated the law.

    Whether they were aware of the violations or not is up for debate, but it is a moot point.

    If I drive 90 mph down the Interstate, I can't claim that I didn't law stated the limit was 65.

     

    Could argue the point all day, but this is not the place.

    Take it elsewhere.

     

    you go Tuck!

    4. They don't like beer, pickup trucks, country music, or Jesus.

     

    5. They are directly responsible for the death of Dale Earnhardt.
