Yeah there is definetly no way a hairdryer will get hot enough. A heat gun or torch is the way to go and has been mentioned on the forum many times. Everybody has a favorite way to do it. I grabbed the mag tube with a vise and then used the "club" anti-autotheft device's fork end to turn the receiver. It has rubber padded surfaces and the fork is almost the exact width of the receiver. You can use locktite but I personally did not use it. The tube threads into the receiver tight then is held in by the barrel and end cap. I left the locktite off so after a long shoot I could disassemble it all the way for a good cleaning. If you use locktite, use the blue stuff. If anybody has more question please e-mail them to me as I do not check the forum often enough to give you a prompt answer. Thanks, Joe

Thank you Sir and thank you for your business. More tubes currently in stock! Joe

I can get it done for you in either a milspec OD (darker greyish-green) or regular OD green. I don't have any made right now and it would have to be paid for in full before I would make a special trip. Most people get black or tan since benelli grey changes in shades every 4-5 months or so.

As I have said before. I sell the US Made full length tubes and I always recommend using the factory spring as that is what it was designed for. As long as the aftermarket follower you are using is the same exact shape and has same dimensions as the factory follower you should be fine. Also, when I manufacture my tubes, I keep a very specific tight tolerance on the receiver end of the tube so that it screws in and locks up tight to the receiver where the shells pop out. Some tubes I have seen including some factory 5 shot tubes leave a little gap between the end of the tube and the inside of the receiver, a big no-no.

Mag tubes ready!

Btt with more tubes in stock! Thanks all! Joe

Yes Sir, Postal Money orders, Cashier's Check, or any other certified Money Orders as such. If none of the above works for a person in particular, if you are overseas on duty etc, I am always willing to work out something. Thanks, Joe

Your factory spring should be more than adequate. Are you getting failure to feeds? You can cheat by giving your factory spring a healthy stretch to about 8"-10" longer than stock length and then you should defiently be okay. Benelli only made one mag spring for the M4 to be used with both 5 and 7 shot tubes. Anybody selling a factory 7 shot spring is only selling you what you already have or selling you an aftermarket tube spring from a remington or something like that.

EDIT: NEW PRICE AS OF 10/21/09 $165 shipped EDIT: I am not socomguy on gunbroker.com. People on here are assuming that is me but I am in no way related. Also I do not do gunbroker sales at this time. EDIT: New users can email me at: [email protected] After making and selling these for almost 2 years and having hundreds of very satisfied customers, it is time to start a new sale thread after having 85,000 + forum hits and almost 500 posts. For those that do not know, my Full Length mag tubes for the M4/M1014 are made right here in Michigan and are a legal U.S. made part to install on the Benelli M4. My tubes are made of high grade one-piece 4130 aircraft grade steel and made to exact specifications to be gauranteed to fit and function perfectly. These tubes hold 7+1 2.75" shells and 6+1 3" shells as was originally designed for this shotgun. My tubes are stamped "U.S." to insure the status of a US made compliant part. Other tubes not bearing such a mark are not legal install under federal law 922R. The origins of other tubes offered are also suspect as some were made overseas in china and as well as not being U.S. compliant, the quality and materials are not up to standards. My tubes meet or exceed the standards for quality, fit, and finish. Over the past 2 years I have sold hundreds of these tubes and have not had ONE unhappy customer. The total price for a mag tube is $165 US Priority Mail shipping is standard and is included in the price. I can also do custom colors such as the desert tan finish M4 for a small fee. To contact me by e-mail: [email protected] To all of you forum users who have bought from me in the past thank you very much for your business and support! Thanks, Joe

There are quite a few online companies that I have seen selling the M4 for $1400-$1500 and they have them in stock.

Winchester Buckshot is good stuff.

I was about to mention Specter Gear (formerly CQB Solutions). I use the CQB sling without QRB on all my AR-15's and my M4 Benelli. They are nice slings and made very well. The have a solid feel about them over other ones that I have tried.

New out of the box both my buddies and my M4 would cycle the Winchester low-recoil rounds no problems out of 50 rounds each. We were using the Ranger 00buck 9 pellet low-recoil. 2 3/4" of course. We also ran a few boxes of the Remington reduced recoil slugs afterwards and no problems with those either. Maybe you have to hold the gun up to your shoulder pretty firm and solid, especially since the gun is new and hasn't been broken in. If you move back with the recoil of the gun perhaps the bolt carrier moves back with you and is not able to get the most possible firm back-travel.

Just out of curiosity who is selling full length tubes for $299? My tubes are excellent quality and I have many happy customers and they are $195 shipped. I can't say much about the numrich tubes because I've never seen one in person. However thier country of manufacture is questionable (possibly china or something like that) and definetly not made in the USA like mine. If you plan on getting US made compliance parts for your M4, the numrich tube won't do much for you unfortunately.
