  1. What "we" have found to be helpfull is a shotbag up front and an angled one to the rear, will cut the recoil significantly. Also, remember the standard choke on the M4 is really designed for 00 Buck and you should step "open" a size to tighten your slug groups. My "test" showed a need for a choke size between "IC" and "Mod". BlackBore (GTPSC) is doing a test and will be coming out with a "Tactical" Choke, should fill the bill nicely. Mg GTPSC
  2. I just got home from being on the Range for 10 hours, another Benelli M4 Transition School, I settled in and logged into the Forum, saw this and brought it up. OMG! My sides hurt so much I'll need traction. Thanks all for the amusing time after spanking the kids at the range into shape!!! Mg
  3. Good advice. Now to find a Beretta 391 for a decent price!!!
  4. Thanks so far! I'm open to Beretta's also. So I can get away with a 26" autoloader for Trap and skeet? Or buy multiple bbls? Mike BTW Duggan, had one of those but it was more of a "sporting" clays gun....... Mg
  5. Just joined a local Sports Club for me and the boy. Years ago owned several OUs for Trap / Skeet. Can I get some opinions and reasons behind which Benelli autoloader will work best for both? BBl length? Which eats all ammo? and so forth...... Thanks Mike
  6. No the H1/T1 does not co-witness either, i'll look at whatever comes out if it does co-witness but I don't think we'll see that. I have not seen any deforming yet, but, I do not regulary remove the sight. Again, I really have a more specific use for the removal. I wish there was a cheekpiece offered like the ones on some of the other Benelli shotguns, it would raise your weld and then the LaRue would be on my weapon, they make an outstanding mount. Mg
  7. Don't take any offense to the following but, Why do you care about zero if removed? Only an amateur would rely on an optical sight that was removed and then reinstated to take a shot that would save a life. The main reason the lever is there is to get rid of the sight if it fails, thus giving you unencumbered access to your iron sights. Any time you reinstall a sight, optical or iron, your zero should be checked prior to use. Even the best can be off an inch or more at 100 yards, thats unacceptable if the target is holding your child. I have not fired it with 3" slugs. The Slugs we use are more than enough at the proven ranges. The setup is as you stated. Until someone comes out with a lower sight that allows co-witness, this is what I'll use. Mg
  8. Yes, it's a poor carpenter who blames his tools.... Mg
  9. Repeats Zero without a problem. No sign of screw or lever failure, on my duty weapon for 2 months, at least 100rds fired. I'm betting my life on it right now. I don't really care who manufacturers it. Never broke a cast ARMS lever and have been on a great share of Military ranges, both square and live, never saw a ton of levers. Mg
  10. We tested many of the "low" mounts out there including LaRue. Although they were good mounts, all of them raised the sight enough that a proper cheek weld was lost with the standard stock. That said, we tested Aimpoints own LRP, a little known accessory ($32) that replaces the screw system on the H1 / T1 systems that we have gone with. This is the lowest possible combination and works very well in "field" use. I will try to post a picture later, but for now here is what the system consists of. Mg
  11. Due to the unique way the stock on the M4 rotates and unlocks, it needs to be flush for the lugs to engage, placing a spacer in there causes the problem and the GG&G does not function. We did a pretty good search on it and spoke to manufacturers to see if it was feasible, all said no without turning down ( modifying) the neck of the stock. Mg
  12. You should have your "Friend" check with his local FFL Dealer, he should steer him in the right direction. There are many here and on other sites that would say it's OK. It's not. It will take a bit more than the tube to satisfy the Importation Law. Mg
  13. Here's mine, just take off the Blackbore choke (it was for a test) and add a Aimpoint T1 Micro, otherwise it's how I carry it everyday. Mg
  14. That's correct. he must buy it from a licensed CA Dealer. He can have it sent into the State to his Dealer but make the arrangements first, certain new laws require your out of state Dealer to get a "permission" letter from CA before shipping it in to the State. The Dealers in CA got together to cry over the fact that out of state Dealers gave better deals! Mike
  15. 1 in 7 with the notched bbl is the standard M4 profile. It will handle a wider available range of ammunition the the 1 in 9. Mg
  16. Although it isn't the most accurate projectile around and it's not a primary choice for defense, the round is VERY LETHAL. The Breacher, if faced with a Tango, as he approaches the door or while in position can effectively use a breaching round to engage the Tango and neutralize it. Mg
  17. You may run into headspacing problems, so your best bet is to buy a complete upper M4 receiver. Check the offsets on your front pin to see if A) you have mil spec pin, B) the new upper has mil spec pins. Just as Hookster stated, conversion pins are available in either direction. Mg
  18. There are no private "Tax Stamps" in California. So don't stress yourself in finding one and buying it only to be denied in our "Fair" State. You must have CA DOJ permits for SBS, SBR, MG, DD or the like in order to Sell, Rent or Demo those type of weapons. Mike
  19. What's a Vinci? Guess I'm with you Duggan! Mike
  20. There is a CDL, Cartridge Drop Lever, near the trigger guard, when it is pressed it allows a round from the mag tube to enter the "pre chamber" area" then racking the bolt loads the weapon. When you fire the weapon it automatically engages that lever. Mg
  21. What is your definition of "functional improvement"? Mg
  22. The CDL is a feature unique to Benelli's. The standard factory choke is (lll) Modified and shoots slugs without a problem, in fact, we qualify at 100 yards with the combination. Like anything else check your ammunition against the choke prior to using it and fire small groups to check for accuracy.
  23. I have to agree, it's a working setup, hundreds of rounds and not one problem... Mg
  24. I actually bought a "Benelli Tactical" baseball cap on eBay cause it's always out of stock, nothing else to put on the weapon, so bought something for me!!!
