Yeah, wish these were available, too.

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

And the field stock is the best!

For home defense fully expect that you will be held accountable, both at civil and criminal law levels, for all 9-12 .30 caliber rounds contained in your 12 ga. "00" buckshot cartridge. One intended target miss and there they go down range thru the housing dry walls, a long way, into adjacent room spaces, your neighbors bedroom, etc. Unless the bad guy is charging into your home, and why would you be there with your loaded 12 ga. shotgun waiting to ambush him? Shooting the retreating bad guy in the back as he is retreating may be tempting at the moment, hope you can afford to defend the local zealot prosecutor on homicide charges. First off, you could throw a firecracker at most home-invading crackers, and they would scatter away like rats. Consider #4 or #6 shot shells for home defense, especially in 12 gauge; more than enough fire power to thwart a rat, and the individual shot will most likely not exit your domicile to harm other innocents. Can't imagine even the rationale for using a slug for home defense. Just as FBI studies have concluded a M4 in 5.56 is safer on interior encounters than their 9mm pistols for over-penetration.
Here's a 18" Winchester 1200 pump ("world's fastest pat 2ump shotgun") training at the elite Rogers Shooting School, using # 6 shot, slamming down head plates at 25 yards......it's more than adequate for home defenses. "00" buckshot is used for final testing, to make the student has acquired proper recoil management. Just sayin'.
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.

No luck, I'm going to order another set to modify with my sander.
They do look good together
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.

First time I've seen one of those screws sheer off. I'd recommend contacting Scalarworks. I'm sure they'd at the very least replace the screw. Do you think you could notch the screw stump so that you can back it out with a flathead?
Looks like the Torx bit sheared off inside the screw recess.

I ordered mine Dec 10th delivery scheduled to arrive the 19th
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.

Thx, just grabbed a set from PSA. This is gonna be one of those you say in about ten years, many I wish I had bought those when they were available… you can’t go wrong for $70.
Totally.

Looks nice but aren’t these imported? Worth losing handguard for 922r compliance?
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.

Yes, it's beautiful John! I looked up who did the camo job, he's out of Smithville Mo. I'm originally from KC so I know it well. Did he do your loading port also? I might have to give him a call, thanks for posting it!
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!
Benelli M4 or Beretta 1301/A300 Ultima Patrol? Why one versus the other?

Looks like I’ll need to get one of these limited edition A300 Ultima Patrols in Multicam:
