M4CQB

LOL, not the answer I was looking for, but thanks.

Fabarms are VERY nice shotguns, and they are definitely comparable to Benelli's inertia driven shotguns. I have an M2, and I really can't say that it is much better than a Fabarm. Now in regard to your question about the M4, I would not consider a Fabarm if I were to compare it to an M4. The only thing that would make a Fabarm even a thought is the difference in price, but in my opinion the extra cost is well worth the admission of ownership for an M4. Fabarms are nice shotguns, and there is nothing to really fault, but I think the M4 simply cycles smoother, and has a tighter feel to it than a Fabarm. The Benelli simply has that custom feel to it that you can only get from specialty manufacturers like Wilson Combat.

The barrel length is 14", and the magazine capacity is 5+1. The spread with 00 buck at 100 yards is about 8 feet, and at 100 feet it is about 2-3 feet. The pattern is very symmetrical, and unlike some SBS that have odd distributions of shot, the M4 does not. I have even shot #4 at 100 yards, and the symmetrical pattern is very apparent when you shoot into water. There are very few pellets that strike outside of the concentration of pellets. The shot definitely spreads faster than my M2, even when I have the largest bore choke installed. The recoil is also very mild compared to my M2. The M2 kicks a little when I shoot the 3" magnum loads, but despite the shorter barrel, the M4 with the ARGO system definitely cycles smoother.

I already posted a pic in another thread, but seeing as your thread is devoid of pics (even though you asked politely) I though I would post another. Same one as the other thread. The sight is an Eotech 552 with NV compatibility.

Well, it looks like that last one was my fifth. Here you are. Now I expect some answers.

Sorry, the message says I cannot post pictures until I have accumulated 5 posts. Stay tuned....

I think this is the red locktite vs. the standard blue. That stuff is really solid and generally the seal cannot be broken by mechanical means alone, so the previous posts are correct that it must be heated up before attempting to loosen it.

Do you mean two positions as in only fully collasped and fully extended with nothing in between?

I think the M1014 has the standard recoil slide like the M2/M1. The M4LE and the M4CQB are the ones that have the recoil slides that accept the collapsible stock.

I have been told not to shoot my M4CQB as they are rare and difficult to find. I am also being told that they are now worth anywhere from $2,500 to $3,500. Exactly how rare are these guns, and are they really worth that much now?
