    Options to mount flashlight and forgrip to M4?

    in Benelli

    Posted

    The guy I talked to said it had kinda fallen by the wayside, due at least in part to the fact that they encountered innumerable engineering obsticals - then he went in to some details that were way over my head.

     

    In a nutshell, apparently it is harder than we (or at least I) think, and they have begun to think it's more trouble than it's worth...

     

    Any more info on that B&T rail?

    So I've ordered my light and grip, but my recent conversation with Mesa about the FCAM didn't really fill me with confidence, so I'm starting to consider altermate means for attaching a surefire and tangodown vertical grip.

     

    I'm aware of SideArmor (with mixed reviews), and the fabled (but unavailable) FCAM, what other options are there?

     

    Does it strike anyone else as odd that there is such a dirth of attachment options for a combat shotgun like the M4? WTF?!

    Any update on FCAM for M4?

    FYI: I just talked with someone at Mesa who indicated that, while development was ongoing (albeit slowly), he didn't think it would ever make it to market.

     

    Ugh. Now how am I going to attach the forward vertical grip and flashlight???

    Like many others, my M4 came with only one choke. Truth be told, I wouldn't have known others were supposed to be included if it weren't for forum members pointing it out - so thanks...

     

    Now that I know I should have them, can someone who has gone through the process to get them let me know what I need to do?

     

    As always, TIA!

    New M4, best items to add??

    1. GG&G Bolt Handle

    2. Extended Bolt release

    3. Rail system ( I have the B&T and it works fine)

    4. A forward vertical grip really helps with recoil and quick follow up shots ( I can get five shots off before the first hull hits the ground and still stay on the target )

    5. Sling - three point should work fine

     

     

    Wanna haves :

     

    1. Surefire light ( any weapons grade should do )

    2. Side-saddle for handy reloads

    3. Optical sight - I run an aimpoint and swear by it but... its not light . I've been thinking about getting an Optima 2000

    4. Extended safety - cool if you shoot and operate alot or if you have small hands .

     

    I'm a big guy (6'4 255 ) with big hands and these accessories really helped me.

     

    You may have noticed that I've talked about weight and stuff a bit. The primary reason is as an LEO it does become and issue over prolonged operations.

     

    For a home/personal defense its not a big deal as you probably wont have to worry about prolonged use.

     

    have fun dressing up the best combat shotgun in the world !

    That is some great input Colt, thanks! Like you inferred, I'm not too concerned with weight, and 'dressing up' the M4 is pretty much what I'm doing, so I'll look at each of the items you mentioned.

     

    Where do you guys buy this stuff? LGS, or online? Is there any way to mount a light or forward sight without the rail system?

     

    I'd like to get an some AR variant next...anybody have any recommendations?? :D

     

    TIA everyone.

    (pardon the threadjack - please reply in the linked thread so as to minimize the interruption...)

     

    ColtM4: I hope you don't mind, but I admire your weapon so much that I've strived to replicate it (New M4 thread). Do you have any other items you'd consider, anything you would do differently, or added advice?

     

    TIA

    I just got my new M4 and want to add some nifty bits. Truth be told, I'm not in LE or anything, and I don't have a real need for a tactical setup, but I want to set this gun up as completely as possible - if for no other reason that because I think it's a great weapon and would be fun to kit out. Anyway...

     

    So far I've been considering an Aimpoint red-dot sight, Knights vertical front grip, larger GGG bolt handle, the B&T rail system, and a Surefire 952p light (lifted from ColtM4's post about his tactical setup - hope you don't mind). Does anyone else have anything they think is better, or that I may have left out? Also, where are the best places online to get stuff like this?

     

    Thanks everyone.
