  1. As far as I know, it was the same as the early civvie ones. Black anodize with a red polymer insert.
  2. Replied. I am sorry for the delay, as the forum was down.
  3. I'm snotty about idiot marks, and the IWC will mar the gun less than shooting 10 rounds, literally.
  4. Ti/steel, black, RX Arms charging handle, LNIB: $80 IWC mount for scout lights: $60 Tango Arms stippled OEM Italian (full/complete) M4 handguards (1 pair), LNIB: $200 Payment: -Zelle -Facebook pay -Personal check if established forum member. Prices include shipping, sales are CONUS only. Email at [email protected] Or PM me on site. Pictures can be had upon request from any angle you want. The items are LNIB and indistinguishable from website stock pictures. ***Order of replies to this thread with firm commitment will be used to establish who gets an item if multiple people also reach out to me via private communication.***
  5. I typically will tighten that little nut right up until the point that the wrench begins to ever so slightly move the metal on the corners. I don't know the torque value for this, and it's very much a "feel" type thing. "Snug". YMMV, proceed with caution.
  6. The m2 is an excellent weapon.
  7. https://www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/prod/70078
  8. Every now and then you see the PG only for sale at various retailers.
  9. I had a couple of questions: 1) Will the M600IB head in OEM format fit the M4 Benelli using the supplied scout body, and the IWC mount? If it will not, will it fit using the IWC mount and the Backbone body?
  10. I just use Slip2000 EWL, a boresnake, a tornado brush, a toothbrush, and microfiber cloths. This pretty much handles it.
  11. I would add that at no juncture have I ever found any official PM interval for the springs on a Benelli M4 weapon system. However, springs are springs. What matters is heat, number of compression cycles, and the percent of compression (as relates to approach of plastic deformation. This requires some pretty beefy math, not just "looking at it", although kindof like a car, you can look at it and decide if it looks fast or slow, and probably make a decent deduction) for the spring. The Benelli M4 appears exceptionally well engineered so as to avoid over-stressing the springs in say, the manner that a Colt 6920 will stress the extractor spring. As such, you LIKELY could see roughly 20K rounds of serviceable life from your weapons springs without appreciable degradation of performance. However, 5K rounds is absolutely 100% sure to be within this window, and will do you a solid. It's also a good time to inspect for chipped edges (extractor), etc. and allow you to clean the weapon well. I prefer to use SLIP 2000 EWL. Any quality CLP that performs in accordance with current military specifications should suffice. The M4 is not a high heat system regarding the moving parts that are lubricated. Corrosion prevention and anti-wear additives are the main thing, here.
  12. Basics you need (Might need this tomorrow maybe): https://www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/prod/70107 x2 or more These can tear when plugs are removed, and there is no round count predictor here.

Could they last longer? You bet! But PM matters for optimal function. Things like the extractor would be inspected closely during the spring replacement. The Ejector spring is an exception due to it's absolute pain to service. 1 drop of oil on the ejector pin, and work the plunger. If no glaring deficiency is noted, you're done with that. Same for gas cap springs, sans the oil bit.): https://www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/prod/70037 https://www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/prod/70036 https://www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/prod/70038 (harbor Freight punches here...it will be bent/sacrificed.) https://www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/prod/70030 https://www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/prod/70040 https://www.midwestgunworks.com/benelli-m4/hammer-spring.html (OOS, it will come back before you need it likely...) https://www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/prod/70057 https://www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/prod/70012 https://www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/prod/60303 https://shop.carriercomp.com/product.sc?productId=1 https://www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/prod/70021 https://www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/prod/70016 https://www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/prod/70004 https://www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/prod/70029 https://www.gunpartscorp.com/products/1439350 https://www.gunpartscorp.com/products/1439180B https://www.amazon.com/VISE-GRIP-Convertible-Pliers-2-Inch-2078900/dp/B000JNRR0Y/ref=sr_1_10?crid=17V7SVNOIFCWP&keywords=snap+ring+pliers&qid=1662453717&sprefix=snap+ring+pliars%2Caps%2C98&sr=8-10 This isn't a bad kit and may be substituted for some of the above: https://www.benelliparts.net/products/benelli-m4-essentials-small-parts-kit
  13. The V cut allows a shell to lower/remain parallel to the chamber, and centers it off of the rim, as it flows forward when the bolt closes. This V cut is a better solution vs the ramp in a lifter which requires a precise bend and that said bend be maintained. The V cut is just a precise cut vs an artistic bend, basically.
  14. I like the OG Benelli follower. Black aluminum body, red polymer insert. Why? They all work, and nostalgia.
  15. The micro 2.0 isn't chonky at all. That said, the m600v is down right svelt, but white light output isnt even close .
  16. Not faulty, just not stout enough. This complaint has existed with the 7 shot tube for over a decade and a half. If you want further diagnostic, run some 12 pellet 2.75" 1290fps or some #4 3" buck. It will exacerbate an under sprung mag.
  17. I presume this was the last, or next to last round in the tube. If correct in my presumption, your issue is that you need a new mag spring. I recommend Carriercomp's, and if you cannot source that, FFTs.
  18. I am quoting others who used them over there. Im not invalidating your experience, nor am I claiming I was there. I appreciate your input and take it under advisement. The wildest experience I was told of was mounting pvs14s to the rail. About 50 units (items) were involved, with something like a 25% failure rate after zero/fam fire.
