So...will the 13" model fit the Entry guns...? Pic?

What are the screws for?

So...how does that rail work? Set screws or what?

Ive done business with Sukhoi. This is out of character. Id see whats going on.

Have you checked around? M4s all over the place of all models.

Q: A: the design of the M4 doesnt make it easy to have the hand guard install or remove without having to remove some screws on the hand guard. best regards

Honestly, it's just a black duffel. I take it to training courses and stuff "everything" in it. I don't really have an organized range bag because my typical range is about 150 yards from the porch.

One randomly wild possibility is that one of the washers on the rear part of the rail was forgotten. Without this lock washer in place, the bolt retaining the top rail will protrude and impinge against the barrel extension.

Absolutely. I honestly prefer passive to laser. Its faster and more precise from almost any anywhere near conventional position aside prone.

Normal.

I remain a Benelli Parts shell stop fan.

My Dad was nice enough to film me having another go at the targets under NODS. It's a trick to time the lighting where Sionyx has enough light and yet the L3 filmless tubes aren't ABC'ing down bad.

My Dad finally made it up to my place and we're having a Father's week.

Recoil is identical. What actuslly differs is the blast, fireball, and slap/concussion with full house slug or buck. Use low recoil and life is better.

Thankyou! Im honestly getting over being sick (resp. non covid), and am pretty soft. I have been slacking and need to drop about 30#, but I do maintain muscle mass and strength, as well as try to hit the BJJ mats 2x a week.

As much of a PITA as changing that tube is, you make it without cost in mind, imo!

Mine is in between the two. It is a 2017-2018 Entry model. It is not bevelled inside like the one on the left, not is it "crisp". The inside looks like the outside, one the one on the left, nearest the camera. Gentle roll-over. I think there is some variability for sure.

The Sionyx is my Dad's Father's Day gift. I bought it for him so that he can go on walks and look at "what was that noise" and record things and share it with his wife when they go walking or whatever. It's not meant for anything but fun and building quality time for him. I took it out, charged all of the batteries, and configured the camera settings for him so that when he unwraps it, it's 100% ready to roll. This was just a test video I did. Here is my setup: L3 filmless tubes that I spec'ed.

Now, under NODS. (Sorry, the sionyx wanted more light. I just got it and am learning. Really, it's a Father's Day gift for my Dad, but I charged all batteries and so forth and got it all set up for him so it's unwrap and play, was just testing it). 6 rounds on 3 targets, followed by a reload from shot card/side saddle and 3 rounds on 3 targets. (First 6 shots LE133, next 3 shots LE127RS)

A friend of mine ordered a C-stock from them when there was a 1 week ETA. He got his stock in about 2, 2.5 weeks. Zero issues. Makes sense considering shipping and inventory time.

I just got back in from patterning 10 rounds of LE133 00 at 25 meters (maybe a hair longer, I paced it off, and my pace measures out a hair longer than a meter). The largest single-shell pattern was 9" across. The combined group size of 5 round's pattern was 11" and 13", for each group, respectively. This is a 14" Entry gun.

Look at this forum. It has grown pretty heavily in the last few years vs. how it was for years. Check out Google Trends. The Benelli M2 searches don't turn up much of a trend. It's been pretty flat. The M4 on the other hand right around the end of 2019 began getting a LOT more hits. I say all of this to say that I think quality has been the same, we are just seeing more samples in the wild, and more people at home on the internet posting about it. The only thing "new" is that the stock extensions on SOME of the shotguns being put out are a hair crooked. That is new, but it is not entirely damning, as yeah, it's a thing that can happen. That it happened now, in isolation, doesn't mean a lot. Back in 2009 or so, I had an M4 with a FSB welded on so crooked I used nearly all my windage on the rear to zero it. Benelli replaced my barrel or front sight, I don't recall, probably barrel. I also notice some machine marks inside my upper receiver where the barrel tang goes on my new M4 Entry...weird? New sign of dull tooling? Well here is Kip Carrier's from the 2000's... Everything I am seeing from Benelli is "within tolerance" and just an increase in prevalence, more or less. This Blu Boi was posted in 2013 by Stranger Danger: Again, I am seeing nothing really bad going on here, just more guns out in the wild.

It sounds like raw material is a huge key player, here. Corrosion resistance and so forth of the material, that sort of thing.
