Someone should be along shortly with cash in hand at that price.

Man-child, does your daddy know that you are using his computer when he is away from his desk? As to the empty implied threat about "coming around where you live", that one cracked me up. Yes, the M4 is a tool, and I figured since you and it had at least that in common, you might know more about the platform and how your 2-piece setup was just a "patch". On another note, your fixation with phallic images and homosexuality is disturbing. To us anyways. To you, I am sure it is just a normal part of your daily life to picture a giant phallus whenever you see something long and cylindrical. When you think of other men, homosexual thoughts probably come just as naturally as breathing to you as well. At any rate, please refrain from telling us every sordid little detail that pops into that teenage mind of yours.

*The word I used was "uninformed", for those among us who are illiterate, the definition of that word can be found here www.dictionary.com. If you can't spell it, just highlight it with your cursor, press CTRL+C, and then click your mouse once in the little box with "search" beside it, press "CTRL+V" and then press "enter". It should do the rest for you. Does the use of large words threaten some people? Perhaps it does! I can understand your feelings, and maybe even empathize with your confusion involving things you don't understand. However, I cannot tolerate your fetal demise of a post going unanswered. *The first clue I have that someone isn't rolling with a full deck is when they go out of their way to inform me that they are. *Yeah, if you don't want to sell something, it's generally a good idea not to try to sell it. You got a valid point there! *The only nose that I see where it isn't needed is the nose of some illiterate man-child being stuck in the middle of Kip's business while he is making our community a better place. Now go enjoy your multi-piece tube and leave the heavy thinking to the rest of us.

You forgot to put the ":p" in there so that the uninformed would know that you were trying to make a joke.

LNIB $740 shipped CONUS USPS Priority payed via USPS MO

Remember to tack on $100 taxes as well as do they even have one in stock. Benelli can take 6+mo to deliver those to dealers.

Duggan sent me a USPS MO First Class one time (NY to LA) and it took over a month to arrive.

Buck listed patterned very even from my M4 (not the same lot number obviously, same product number). The PP slugs were accurate too. GL on sale, quality items/good prices.

Looks good, the spring--not so much. I would get the spring from Kip, personally.

Kip called me as well. I felt bad explaining to a former Marine why I was asleep at 0930. Sheepish.

There is no inertia system on the M4. The gas system IS the system. Not some "back-up".

all well and good then

Several M4C users who have used the M4S90 in combat say it ran like a sewing machine, although they didn't like it as they felt a breeching shotgun should have something other than a rubber pistol-grip and should be pump to cycle breeching loads. As far as function though, they said it was flawless.

-Fellow AR15.com user's experience dredged from the 2007 archives.

*86 the UTG, Duggan won't be happy.

I'm going to say the M4 is more consistantly reliable than the M2. I also plan on proving it, if you so require it.

+1 and yes, I can and have limp-wristed M4's, and yes, you can limp-wrist an M2, and yes I have fired my M4 with target loads from the hip, and yes it worked.

I can do flawless mag-dumps with 2.75 dram 1-1/8oz 1145fps STS Light Target ammo. My point isn't to prove that I can buy expensive target loads, but rather to show you that the M4 has a lot larger "performance window" than the M2. I want my weapon to have as large a performance window as possible to make up for the imperfect element of my human nature and blind circumstance. If you are comfortable with less "slack", as it were, more power to you.

Kip probably is knee-deep in PM's right now and I would guess he was just making sure you had not altered your order before he shipped it to you, assuming that he ships on schedual today.

Why have active cylinder control in a Z06? Why have windshield wipers on a Ferrari? Why do you walk anywhere when you could just run? Why would you take normal breaths of air when you can take deep manly breaths and hold it for a minute at a time? Why use toilet-paper when you could use benjamins? I don't understand why people think it is rediculous to want to practice with bird-shot, or simply go out and have some fun with it.

Explain that to the people who worked for Kip that could not keep a schedual.

"Working in manufacturing" and running a small machine-shop with just a few employees are two VERY different animals.

+1 I don't see how Kip's not meeting a deadline because his work-staff abandoned him is him taking advantage of you.

I feel that Kip is the kind of person who in the future will remember that he gave me 3 deadlines that he did not meet, and each time, I accepted it without getting too ruffled in public. Since I don't think that Kip did this on purpose, I think you have 1 of 2 options realistically: Ask for a refund and move on--or don't. However, asking for a refund now that the tubes are already done (confirmed, they are cut and ready for painting as of NOW) and just await painting, would be kindof dumb. By the time you got your inferior tube the rest of us will have our Ti tube. You can't get blood from a turnip and spurning Kip for not delivering on time won't make him deliver any faster.

Dime less? Are you aware of what next-day air costs? It ain't a dime over priority I promise you that. What do you think Kip should have done when someone refused to show up to work most of the time? Fire him? He did. Then he hired someone else, who also seemed to be full of fail. Fired and hired again. A machine-shop isn't like a lemonade stand, there is training time, etc. involved. A good machinist is worth more than any of those multi-thousand dollar machines he will use. A good machinist is worth his weight in gold and hard as **** to find. Like I said, I am not aplogizing for Kip, that's on him. I am stating however, that he is handling it the best he can be expected to.
