Great thread. I just got an M4 sbs out of NFA jail. It has the plastic triggerguard/assembly. I wanted to swap out the collapsible stock for a pistol grip stock (I hate the cs cheekpiece). What a pain. The plastic trigger group would not fit into the receiver fully (pin wouldn't sit flush against receiver all the way) with the pg stock. I had to lightly sand the pg and and parts of the plastic triggerguard (rear half moon tab) to get everything to seat rearward in the receiver properly. Anyone else have this issue? Other than that, it seems durable enough what with all of the manhandling I put it through. I wonder if the aftermarket will come up with a metal solution . . . edited: Also, I have owned 5 M4s. This one has by far the worst trigger of any M4 or long gun for that matter that I have seen. No creep but I kid you not probably a 12 lb pull. I have a Wolff spring kit on the way. Fingers crossed.

Yes. When logging on yesterday.

My M4 sbs does not have that wear. I don't have that many rounds through it but there is zero wear. I would say yours is not normal. Have you removed the pistons? Are they bent? Are the cylinders in line with the barrel or angled?

Would this also help loading with gloves on? I always get the leather pinched . . .

Better ticket sales= better likelihood movies like jw2 are made in future. Just sayin . . .

Anyone with the slightest interest in firearms or cars needs to see jw2 asap.

Just ignore the tacticool crowd and get the KZ ergonomic version. I abused one in a shotgun class doing various drills over and over again with no ill effects to it or the M4. https://www.botach.com/kley-zion-benelli-m4-ergonomic-3x-oversized-charging-handle/

The ad says 30 were made. Elsewhere I have read 60 (maybe even on here)? Anyone know the real total? I was able to get my hands on two of them. I sold one off. Interestingly enough, one (the one I still kept) lacked coating on the trigger guard. I realize the 11711 is now a regular item for LE.

I have found that every Benelli/M4 I have fired/owned loves Wolf slugs. One ragged hole at 50 if you do your job.

Give us the M4 SBE Benelli!

I found this part most interesting:

I have found a bore snake can help. I havent been that impressed by the tornado brushes. A baby bottle brush/cleaner works well to clean out the breech end of the barrel where most of the slug fouling is and can be found at any grocery store

I have the sidearmor. Looks like they are now going by the name asgard so yeah . . .

Anyone consider this one? http://www.gggaz.com/universal-quick-detach-sling-attachment.html

Yes, I was once told the minimum order you can place with Benelli is $10K in stock. That was a few years ago. Might be more now.

I have seen them in my area for the past couple of months. The cerakote seemed to be light and clashes with the black furniture imho.

Just take one of the phillips and go to lowes or home depot and see if you can find a hex replacement on the fastener aisle. Most have a fixture to thread your existing fastener into to find the pitch. Might be worth a try.

I have two sets I bought at the same time from Botach about 4 years ago. One set is hex, one is phillips. The H2O has hex.

I had the geissele and hated it. The trigger pull on my gun became heavy. No biggie, I just returned it. I use the FFT now. http://www.brownells.com/shotgun-parts/trigger-group-parts/hammer-parts/hammers/benelli-m4-hammer-prod44723.aspx

Can you fire rifled slugs through it?

FP-10 or the oil the gun comes with.

Had a geissele and hated the extra heavy pull it created. I installed the FFT and the pull is much better. Not quite factory though. I am watching the wear. I hope I gets to a point and then stops.

I have noticed some shells are tighter than others. i dont think plastic hulls will break in the aluminum carriers but the shells get easier to remove or insert after several tries. So either the metal gets smoother or the shell gets worn down a little?

The Sidearmor is a quality piece. The only downsides (small) are that it can add weight when loaded up with 8 shells, the pic rail is kinda sharp, and it takes practice sliding it on under stress. [ATTACH=CONFIG]2733[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]2734[/ATTACH]

Yeah even benelli's website says you can get them with that stock now.
