  1. Can you take a few more photos or a video? I am trying to see how the spring seats into the retainer on the tube. Can you compress the spring with one hand and free the piston with another? I assume that spring adds tension to the gen2 handguard? Does the owner's manual say anything?
  2. I wonder what a completely stock one would go for nowadays.
  3. Yeah it kinda sucks. I had one M4 that ran ANYTHING. Others seem to not like the really low fps buckshot and cheap birdshot. I have found that the Estate buckshot is a great balance of tight pattern, good reliability and price.
  4. Which flitecontrol? The 1145 advertised fps? I have a few M4s that don't like it. Even ones that are completely stock. Did your M4 function with the flitecontrol before mods?
  5. They have been available in the U.S. for a while at LE distributors as a "Gen 2" model. https://botach.com/benelli-m4-18-5-shotgun-w-5-position-stock-7-1-full-tube-gen-2/
  6. I like how we have been informed that he was a white supremacist incel hispanic even though he murdered mostly other hispanics. Yet we don't have the Nashville transgender school shooter's manifesto yet. Shocking.
  7. No one watch this review. The reviewer is not a gunsmith. I repeat, NOT a gunsmith.
  8. Ask your procurement officer is there are exceptions for sole sources. That way you don't have to jump through the t&e/approval hoops. At least some .gov entities have that option.
  9. Dang, you must be quite the Billy Bad Ass to call a member of the SAS a fool. Now you've got me scared.
  10. Tell the British SAS they are doing it wrong.

  12. This is what you want. I have had one for 15 years and have abused it in classes with no issues. https://botach.com/kz-benelli-m4-oversized-charging-handles/
  13. Here is the text of the law. r)It shall be unlawful for any person to assemble from imported parts any semiautomatic rifle or any shotgun which is identical to any rifle or shotgun prohibited from importation under section 925(d)(3) of this chapter as not being particularly suitable for or readily adaptable to sporting purposes except that this subsection shall not apply to— (1) the assembly of any such rifle or shotgun for sale or distribution by a licensed manufacturer to the United States or any department or agency thereof or to any State or any department, agency, or political subdivision thereof; or (2) the assembly of any such rifle or shotgun for the purposes of testing or experimentation authorized by the Attorney General.
  14. 922r relates to the ASSEMBLY of an imported, non-sporting firearm. You didn't do the assembling (someone ahead of you in the supply chain did) therefore 922r doesn't apply to you.
  15. They are pretty high quality. The only issue is that the slots are narrow-ish and some shells dont' fit/are too snug. Mine are too narrow for federal le loads. YMMV though.

  17. Normal, just dirty with residue and lead. As mentioned a tornado brush will help. A remington bore squegee also helps push everything out once it is broken up.
  18. Look for buckshot advertised at 1300fps or greater. That fiocchi HD buckshot is awesome but isn't reliable in an M4 in my experience.
  19. No updates. I haven't fired it since I discovered the latest wear. I would love to see other owners post photos of the their piston housings . . . I have no idea how the barrel bulged. It was on its second range trip and I was shooting pheasant loads and some fiocchi and federal low recoil slugs. I am trying to get my hands on a Mossberg 940 Tactical for a comparo.
  20. Just 922r parts on one, others stock.
  21. Both. Both failed to clear the ejection port. I am sure since both are 1145fps. Mine seem to like 1250ish and up. Patterns I don't recall a difference. I used to have some photos but must have deleted them. It was a long time ago.
  22. I have M4s that don't like the low recoil le flite control. But i generally have bad luck with firearms so who knows. For cheap buckshot try estate, aguila, and lax ammo extreme. For cheap slugs . . . well any of them.
  23. Well it could just be me. Sometimes I have horrible luck . . .
  24. Funny thing is, that particular M4 was one of the original imported H2O robar np3 models. I bought it and literally shot 5 wolf slugs out of it and put it away. I don't think I will be doing any more shooting with it.
  25. Perhaps. To be clear, I am not anti 1301. I have one and while I am disappointed in it, I am keeping it. It is easy to shoot slugs accurately (only gone to 25 yds; I have an M4 that put 5 slugs in one hole at 50yds seated so I am not declaring a winner there yet), it is light, manueverable, and the stock cylinder choke is pretty good. What I am is anti 1301 vs. M4 comparisons that ignore all of the 1301's substantial deficiencies compared to the M4. All the big name youtubers have done this. They are both Italian, that is about it. My posterity will be shooting my M4s long after I am gone. I think my 1301 will be done after another 300 rounds of buckshot.
