I'm looking at a current brand new benelli M4 with a field stock #11703. I called Benelli USA and the rep told me the recoil tube isn't compatible (3 positions). Is this correct?
Purchased in feb 2013.
less 200 rounds fired. Dave's metal works 7 round tube and follower installed. Surefire railed forearm, mesa urbino pistol grip stock with riser.
Is around 2100 right?
I have a m4 field stock and mesa stock. After shooting the gun with both I prefer the mesa stock.
The field stock was standard field stock that I cut down, made two oak pieces, and marine tex ed them in place. Then I fit a limbsaver recoil pad to the oak pieces. The limbsaver is a rough fit as I didn't have a belt sander to finish it with. There is around 200 rounds through it. LOP is around 12.5 inches.

Any tips, tricks, downsides to using a US made forearm (I think a FFT one comes with the Botach mesa forearm, saddle, stock package) and adding a rail with screws and epoxy.
I'd like to mount a G2X.
How much less robust is it than a surefire M80?
I understand the benelli m4 urbino stock is 12.5 LOP. Would it be possible to go 12.0 with a straight stock? I've got that LOP on my 870 and it's just about perfect.
If I go to a dealer and order one through him/her would I get quicker results?
ETA: Got a hold of a customer service rep and they will only sell to dealers.
