The only one that I know of that is making a breeching device for the m4 is Vang Comp. It isn't a choke/ breeching combo like the Remington device, instead it replaces the end cap on the magazine tube and extends 2" past the barrel. I'll post a picture of it in a few days when I return home.

Actually, the teeth help the breecher with positive barrel placement on the wooden door frame while providing adequate standoff.

It's a breeching standoff device incorporated into a choke. Remington sells it on the 870 TAC Desert model CLICK HERE to see it installed.

Are you referring to something like this?

It's the same load ( 00, 9 pellet) thats used in the military for breeching doors.

Just finished Duracoating it and a few other guns. It came out pretty good, a lot better looking than the desert factory camo job it came with. As soon as it cures a bit more, I'll assemble it and post some pictures of it. I have discovered what caused the barrel to not want to come out initially. As was pointed out, there is very little space between the fake mag extension and the round piece of metal it must pass through to secure the nut. I found this out as I attempted to assemble the weapon. The very light coat of Duracoat that I had sprayed on the tube and on the inside of the metal ring was too much to allow the tube into the ring. I remember seeing some of the factory beige coating on the inside of the ring after I had taken it apart. I believe this to be the source of my initial problem. I sanded the inside of the ring down until the factory beige was also gone. I had to also remove some of the Dura coat on the tube to allow it to fit properly into the ring. That said, there are a few areas I'll touch up later on but for the most part I am happy with the outcome. for some reason I cannot upload photos. I get a message saying I am maxed out on photos but I have never uploaded anything and I don't see a way to delete anything. Here are the links to the pictures . BEFORE AFTER 1 AFTER 2 BONUS

I've used it quite a bit for door breeching ( I'm in the military). However I haven't seen it with an OD hull like in the picture. The box looks the same but the shells are your average red hull with the Winchester Super X on it with the pellet count and gold head. If you're asking if its different from other 00 9 pellet rounds, as far as I can tell, it isn't.

Well after setting over night with lube on the weapon I attempted to remove the barrel this morning. It moved slightly by hand but not much past the 1" already exposed. At this point I tried what I had initially done and placed my left foot on the base of the front sight and the right foot on the sling mount. Holding the pistol grip and the butt stock with my hands I began pulling with my arms and pushing with my feet. Right when I thought I'd give myself a hernia, the barrel came apart from the receiver. After inspecting the two parts, there is nothing to give an indication of why it was so hard to separate the two parts. No signs of binding or scrapping or any deformation,etc. Now the two parts slide in and out as everyone has said they should. I have no idea what caused this, what an ordeal. Now I will degrease and begin applying Duracoat as planned.

I removed the Pic rail and still no joy. I even removed the trigger group and stock to see if it helped and nothing. I have however managed to pry the foregrips off and with a little bit of sanding and Duracoat they should be fine. The barrel still does not want to come out of the receiver. It has come out about 1" but that is it. I have sprayed the inside of the receiver with lubrication and even applied a little bit of gentle hammer action to try and loosen things up.....still no luck. I am going to let it set over night and allow the lube to work on things. Hopefully tomorrow I will have better luck at removing the barrel. This is my first Benelli and so far I am not impressed. I hope it shoots better than it disassembles.

I have done all of those things minus the part where the barrel should slide out. No matter how hard I pull on the barrel, it doesn't come free from the receiver. Let me also add that I purchased the gun already assembled from the store.

Let me preface with: I did a search and didn't find anyone who has had the following issue. I read the owners manual as well as watched a very well done video on disassembly. None of which addresses my problem. I own the camo M4 model 11717 and don't care for the camo finish and am attempting to disassemble it so I can Duracoat it the color I want. I can take it apart with the exception of removing the barrel and foregrips. The manual shows the removal of the fore grips by pushing them forward and sliding them downward to remove them prior to removing the barrel(bolt is locked to the rear as illustrated in the manual). I have attempted to remove the foregrips to no avail. The video I watched showed the removal of the barrel without removing the foregrips, which I am also unable to do. The foregrip has a lip at the upper most part that it appears needs to clear the metal lip attached to the receiver prior to pushing it downward and removing it. No matter how much I push the foregrip forwards, it does not compress enough to allow the foregrip to move downwards. I have moved it forward enough to see that the barrel begins to separate from the receiver but never enough to completely remove the foregrip. I have achieved this with the aid of a flat head screw driver and have caused a few nicks in the plastic foregrip to my dismay. I am at the point where I don't want to try anything else for fear of damaging the foregrips more than I already have. I simply cannot believe that all M4s are this difficult to disassemble. Does anyone have any hints or useful advice on how to remove the foregrips and has anyone else experienced this before?

Just bought the desert camo version at a local store. It too has several chips in the camo just from sitting in the store gun case. I don't know what Benelli was thinking when they decided on doing this model in camo, it makes it look like a toy. However,the chips got me $100.00 off the price after a little bargaining. Since I would much rather have a solid color M4 I decided that I would be dura coating this M4 as soon as I got it . I just have to decide on color at this point.
