Looks like I’ll need to get one of these limited edition A300 Ultima Patrols in Multicam: To sit next to this guy:

Yeah, wish these were available, too.

I’ve always twisted until there’s no slop or movement.

And the field stock is the best!

You okay, bro?

Yeah, it’s been a topic since I’ve been on this forum (2007).

Not all shells are the same length. Some people buy certain shells for this reason. Some cut a couple coils from their mag spring.

Yes, field stock handles much better for me, too.

Yeah, couldn’t be a thing. Better chance with the Beretta 1301.

Sure do!

Mine were just delivered. They seem fine—no amazing burl or movement, but decent for the price. Will probably keep my Multicam field stock/forends on the gun.

Yeah, nice grain. Mine are due tonight.

Looks like the Torx bit sheared off inside the screw recess.

Me, too, and I’m the one who told everyone about ‘em. 😂

They look nice! On the Benelli M4 group on Reddit some people have posted that the provided hardware doesn’t attach to the OEM Benelli recoil tube. Luckily the hardware from my Mesa Tactical Urbino would probably work. It’s a bit of a bummer that this stock doesn’t attach like the OEM Benelli field stock (no tools required). Maybe if all else is good about the stock I’ll try to replicate the OEM tool less design. Or maybe this’ll go in my gun gear storage along with my other 2 Benelli M4 stocks.

I bought the fix it sticks (sp?) torque “wrench” and it really does provide peace of mind when messing around with aluminum receivers. Of course, in your example the bit was clearly subpar. But, still! And every Scalarworks product I’ve bought has been top notch.

Between the comments on Reddit and here, I’m pretty certain this is becoming another missed revenue opportunity for Benelli.

Will do.

Totally.

I use other US-made parts to hit my number, so this isn’t a consideration for me.

Been wondering if we’d ever have the option of buying wood sets. These are Panzer Arms from Turkey—one of the clone makers (“Turknellis”) that sells clone versions with these stocks. I wish Benelli made wood furniture for the M4, but it is what it is. Cheapest right now for $70 at PSA, and also available for $100 at MidwayUSA. Better pics at this site, but they are sold out. I’ll follow up once my set arrives. If they’re good to go, I’ll likely add QD swivels and a Limbsaver as I did here. If the finish is glossy I’ll probably also use steel wool to make them matte.

Thanks—the loading port and bolt release was done by Steve Rose, Rose Action Sports (RAS). He’s a member here and posted in this thread a few posts up. Brendan at Custom Gun Coatings did the paintwork on the forends and stock. Earlier in the year he did paintwork on a Tikka project for me, too

Go for it—it’s way better this way! You can find Steve a couple of posts up.

Thanks, guys! Love this thing!
