  1. but I went Dove hunting with my M4 last Sunday and can't believe the fun! This is the only shotgun I own. I'll be getting a more appropriate bird hunting gun at some point, but for now, I've only got the M4. And man, I've got to say, I've never had more fun shooting this gun. What a blast! I had to put a plug in it to make it legal (could only have 3 rounds in it)...but I'm hooked. Can't wait to take it out again. And not that I was trigger happy (ok - maybe I was...but that was part of the fun!), but comparing my ability to shoot quickly to that of my buddies that had pump guns...wow!
  2. This makes no sense to me, whatsoever. That rep must have pulled that response out of his backside. There is no way to install the M80 backwards. A total newbie that has never held a gun before could figure out if the thing were on backwards. I call BS on him! I doubt a single consumer ever fully installed the M80 backwards and actually thought to him/herself, "Well, I know it's on right...but what's with this gap?" No - that is not the reason for the gap. Having said all of that, I don't have the gap with my M80.
  3. - Excellent set-up. Two very dependable guns!!

    B&T Quadrail

    Everyone is certainly entitled to his/her opinion - but I certainly do not feel like a "sucker" for having purchased an M80. I've purchased many SureFire products throughout the years, and their fit, finish, and overall quality has always been exemplar! SureFire has a well-deserved reputation for producing extremely high-quality products - and it was based on this deserved reputation (and my own experience with the awesome quality of many other products) that I "took a chance" on their M80. Is the M80 a new offering by SureFire? Yes. Is buying anything from SureFire anything close to rolling the dice? Hardly. I do agree that the M80 would look cooler without the SureFire logo on the side...but it doesn't bother me in the least. More importantly, the quality of the M80 is beyond reproach. It is a product that lives up to SureFire's reputation. Mine fits my gun perfectly. Like many products, some things only become apparent down the road...but I have not experienced any problems with mine. I have not needed to put any tape on it to compensate for a fitting issue. I do not mean to take anything away from the B&T - but one can buy the SureFire M80 with complete confidence in it being a top-of-the-line product. If you care about a full quadrail - purchase the B&T. I have no intention of loading my M4 down with stuff on all 4 rails. The three on the M80 more than suffice for my needs.

    M4 Capacity?

    5 + 1 2 3/4 shells
  6. Fascinating! Yeah - I'm pretty intrigued by the PH50. My bro-in-law lives in South Korea, and I've asked him to look into local South Korean prices on the pH50. I doubt it'll be any cheaper there, but with the dollar exchange, country of origin, etc...you never know! If it turns into a deal I can't turn down, I'll own a PH50, as well...but man, those things are pricey!!
  7. Took a buddy to the range today with my M4. He had never shot one before, but when I told him about it and invited him along, he was totally excited. The smile on his face was priceless, as he unloaded his first tube of 00. I suspect he's out shopping for one now! This gun is within a very selective category of things that I own that puts a smile on my face every time I use it! :)
  8. People's experiences with this M80 have certainly been polar. As for me - I haven't had any trouble with mine, as of yet. The fit is fine, the finish is excellent (typical SureFire quality), and I very much like the look and feel of this picatinny rail. Different people's mileage certainly varies - but the M80 is living up to everything I had expected of it, so far!
  9. You'll want to use a cylinder chose for rifled slugs.
  10. I guess I'll be the first to say SH** on your behalf! What a bummer. Sounds like this saddle should have shipped with longer screws in the first place and none of this would have happened!
  11. Yep - these are available. I ordered one from Surefire about a week ago and received it a couple of days ago. Very easy to install, the fit and finish is excellent, and it looks great on the gun. I have not gotten mine out to shoot with the M80 on it yet, but I hope to find the time soon.
  12. Yes - I'll certainly post that write-up. I've seen/heard of the issues that some have experienced. I've got my fingers crossed that I won't experience any issues myself. I was hopeful for the rail from Mesa Tactical, as well - but you are more patient than me. I gave up on that one a long time ago. For what it's worth, when I ordered mine from Surefire last week, I was told it was the last in-stock. Certainly, other Surefire dealers out there would have some, but any more from Surefire are now on backorder (I was told backorder items like this from them are typically 5 - 8 weeks out). Hopefully, Surefire has picked up on the issues some people have experienced, and they'll incorporate a small design change to ensure none of them cause problems with the pistons!
  13. So - not that everybody has been beating my door down for this tube, but it's now off the market. I suppose everybody that wants one pretty much has one - a year ago, this thing would have sold within 10 minutes of posting! In any case, it's just as well. It took several days, but I came back to my senses. I received the Surefire M80 and installed it last night. The gun looks so good with the M80 on it, I was re-inspired to proceed with configuring my M4 as it's supposed to be configured (with the full-length mag tube)!
  14. So - just shy of a year ago I ordered one of SOCOMguy's full-length mag tubes for my M4, and then never got around to installing it. In fact, I only once took it out of the shipping tube, right when I received it, and immediately put it back into the shipping container where it has sat up until now. I can attest to SOCOMguy's quality - the workmanship on this tube is outstanding. And this particular one is from a batch he did at some point after he changed his finishing process so that it more closely matches Benelli's finish than the first batch he did. I've decided this tube is not doing me any good sitting in its box, and I'm not going to install it any time soon, so I'm going to sell it. And I just picked up a Surefire M80 for my M4, which needs the storage space the mag tube is currently consuming (kidding - I hope to actually put this M80 rail on my gun). In any case - the mag tube is available if anybody wants it. Brand new, in its original shipping package. $150 shipped. (A $40.00 discount to what I paid for it). PM me and we can work out the logistics. Thanks, vagabundo94
