  1. with a permanently attached 1.5" long flash suppressor it is legal. There are also some running a 11.5" barrel and a permanently attached 5.5" flash suppressor (bushmaster and DPMS made them from the factory that way)... don't really see the point in these, but to each their own. If I wanted a barrel that short I would get another AR pistol or SBR it and not worry about the added length of a decoration.
  2. The total barrel length for a rifle must be no shorter than 16". Some have done the 14.5 with a A2 birdcage flash surpressor (actually think its 14.7", or a modified longer birdcage) permanently attached to meet the 16" criteria. As for the twist. If you are sticking to 55gr FMJ, then either will be sufficient if you are going with the 75 gr taps or what not, then 1:7. Out of the 10.5 ARs I own, only 2 ar 1:7, the rest of the 223/5.56 are 1:9 with the exception of the 1:8 SS wylde chamber varmint rifle. Both my 308s and the 9mm are 1:10. The 22lr dedicated is 1:16. I have no issues with the 1:9 since I mainly shoot M193. Your results may vary.
  3. To buy, either find used at a local shop/ pawn shop (picked one up there before) or find a shop that will order it for you. I placed my order at impact guns since they are local to me late 2005 early 2006 for the one pictured. Bad news, I paid in full. Took many months to arrive. While I waiting for it to come in I kept watching the site as they increased the cost of the firearm more than $100, think it was closer to 150 if I remember right. They gave it to me when they called to say it was in no hassles or extra money, but I heard differnt when they were doing the FN packages PS90/five7even.... it was on their forums for a while. Think I paid almost 600 even for it. Its model 4449 that I added a "take off" extension from a guy on the AR15 forums for $40, the surefire light and thats it. The 4449 and Pmax both come with the ghost ring "XS sights" but they are not he 24.7 XS sights, which would make the trinium. I called XS and asked if I could purchase just the front to replace it and they said only sell sets? At a extra 100. So I kept them how they came. Really nothing special about the police other than QA and build procedures, and a few better parts.
  4. Nova, like I mentioned before opnions are just that and hope I didnt step on your toes. As for the Nova it was a 26" ribbed with bead. I do own 4 870s, and 2 are long barrels, 2 are short. I understand anyone can get a bad gun to change ones mind on something. The CX4 was kind of a good price and deal but it was better timing. Someone at a local shop ordered it with a few accessories (top bottom and side rails, the VFG, hard case, and sling)When to go pick it up and didnt like it, and refused to pay, after 10 months of it sitting around I stopped by and seen it. Found out the price and it went home with me. $515 with everything. Converted to from 96 to PX4 configurations.. $30, added the morese lekker shroud (It fills a ugly gap when the light was mounted) $45, TLR1 @$90, EOtech 552 $189 (work for L3 get 1 per calander year at discount). It has well over 3000 working on 4000 round thru it and only one FTFeed, the case had a small dent and I said, well lets see what she does with it, it hung on the mag lip. Accurate to 100 yard easy, At 50 I will make 1 ragged 4" hole with 4 17 rd mags. The trigger did stink at first and within 1000 rounds it was much better, the sights stink, they are like the ARs sights with a LR and SR peep, but they are the same size which is SMALL. The eotech fixed it. There is little that can be done to the trigger other than trimming it with a exacto blade, but if you screw up you are now screwed. The hammer, trigger ect are all plastic, but I have never seen nor heard of one breaking. A few years (about 3) they had issues, the buffer spring assy, had a bad batch. But Mine was great and has been, I bought a spare to be on the safe side since I am that way, I could easily build a AR with spare parts including receivers. The M590A1 is really sweet as well. But I added a Vangs oversized safety and just got done adding geat sectors 2point slings to the 590 and the M4, then added a GGG HK clip adapter to the 590 for a single point sling. As for the sporting/ military thing, my collection is very very black. Figured I would grab what I could due to unknown futures. 5 black shotties, 9 ARs, and a few misc, its about done. Still want a serbu 870, and a custom "tactical" leveraction 30/30. The Gearsector sling are top notch if anyone is wondering, just wish GGG would finish the single point M$ mount (hopefully in HK ring like the 870 and 590 have).
  5. And incase anyone is wondering, the cx4 is much shorter than the 18" 870 (old picture before I got bored and started disliking the knoxx stock), GREATLY reduced recoil, holds 17 in the mag (40 S&W Px4 configuration) and reloads much faster.
  6. First opnions are just that, everyone wil have their own, so be it guns, cars, woman..... that being said, I am probally going to get flamed for saying this, but my first shotgun was 870express. Now 17 years later it is still a tank, never had a issue of any sort. I now own 3 other 870s, a M590A1, and M4. Had a nova, felt like a toy, and had issues out the box with chambering 2 3/4" rounds. I know lemons exist (mostly in VWs), so I sold it and never looked back, true it can shot 3.5" but who does? Really... very few. There are 870s that can shoot 3.5" as well but the magnums are just 3" receivers/ barrels, but this is good since you do not need to work the action as far on the 3" compared to the 3.5. If I have to take a shotgun with me incase the end of the world or a home invasion, it will be the 870P pictured below. However, one of the ARs and CX4 (for the girl) stays loaded for this case. Over penetration is a mute point since all bullets will go thru a few walls, recoil is much better on these 2, they are shorter, and I am comfortable with either and the girl really likes the CX4. The Benelli M4 however is one of 3 shotguns I have ever said that I "WANT", have 2 of the 3 the 3rd is a AOW but maybe soon. The bottom (870P) is my newest and most favorite to date.
  7. Oh I guess I should link it right? http://www.e-gunparts.com/DisplayAd.asp?chrProductSKU=980370&chrSuperSKU=&MC= And mine
  8. I purchased mine from numrich.A little pricy yes, but I like it better than the other config and yes I shot them all before I settled.
  9. Yeah I got the factory number. Then using the factory number I found ableammo which has the stock in stock (that looks weird typed out), for 165. Then Numrich got it back in stock as well, but for $18 more.
  10. Outstanding Fbody. I will call him Monday morning. I am currently out of country for work but this would be nice to have when I arrive back next month waiting in my room. Also your user name, do you drive a Camaro or TA? I drive a DSM (may be a enemy of yours now), but thank you for the information. I appreciate it.
  11. I am trying to find the STANDARD Benelli M4 stock, not the skelton/M1014 one, but the plain jane regular "hunting" style stock. Or even a factory PN to help my searches for one. The only place I can find it even listing it was numrich gun parts, and they are out of stock. I have spent the last few days just googling "benelli m4 stock" and going thru the sites to no avail. If anyone wouldnt mind hooking me up with a source I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
