    Benelli M4 -- Refinish Time!

    in Benelli

    Posted

    What a great thread, I finally finished reading it all.

     

    Do you have pics of your light setup?

     

    I'm wanting to get to an M4, had one sold it, but I'm curious about the collapsible stock compared to the straight stock. Big difference?

     

    This morning I took one of the Surefire M600IB 600 lumen output IntelliBeam lamps and stuck it in the lathe and machined off the high spots of the lamp to permit a tighter fit to the Benelli when using the Ava Tactical mount. Unfortunately you have to remove the the light from the mount in order to remove the head, but it does fit with the use of the IWC backbone body.

     

    I'm going to order a couple more, then have them painted to hide the machining work.

     

    It makes for swapping batteries to be kind of a pain, but I feel it is worth it for the IB technology.

    I just bought a factory Benelli M4 collapsible stock off Gunbroker, NIB for under $300 shipped. I just got my M4 and its a work in progress and have been wanting one of these for sometime. The Company I bought it from has several on GB.

    My Federal tactical slugs are very difficult to get in and out.

     

    My plastic orange dummy rounds took a gunsmith hammer to get out, I got two in and it took a couple of minutes to get them out.

     

    I'm going to try some of my other rounds, buckshot etc.

     

    Going to a shotgun course and not being able to easily get the rounds in and out of the side saddle for a two day course is not going to be fun.

     

    I have noticed some shells are tighter than others.

    i dont think plastic hulls will break in the aluminum carriers

    but the shells get easier to remove or insert after

    several tries. So either the metal gets smoother or the

    shell gets worn down a little?

    I got the 8 round short rail for my M4 and I'm having a hard time getting the shells in and out, is there a break in period or am I doing something wrong?

    New Benelli M4 on the way your additions? setup?

    I have a new Benelli M4 inbound, had one a few years ago and sold it, you know one of those sales that you did good on but regretted later.

     

    So it will be here next week. Already have a new titanium tube on the way and several other additions but trying to find the best way to put a light on it.

     

    Do not really want the surefire forearm, would like to find a good way to mount my streamlight TRL 1 HL (same light as duty weapon), any good clamps out there with a rail on it?

     

    How have you setup your Benelli M4 (pictures?)

    I just ordered an 8 rounder and looking forward to trying it. My mesa tacticals I have work, but depends on the WX (hot or cold) and some areas of the mesa allow the shells in easily others take work.

    Is there that much difference between M2 and M4 Benelli Shotguns?

    Wow, what a great collection.

     

    I use my M1/M2's a lot more than my M4. I purchased the M4 on a whim when a LGS had one for a pretty good deal. I didn't realize it was so much heavier until I got it home and put it together. I'll shoot the it on the skeet/sporting clays range every now and then just for grins and once in a while in a 3-gun match but if I needed cash and had to sell one or the other, the M4 would go before the others. I can't think of a thing that it will do any better than the others.
