At last, The long labor pains are over. Congrats on the delivery of the bouncing baby Benelli. We look forward to pics of your new bundle of joy

Glad you're happy with your new aquisition. Enjoy!! Hookster

Yeah, no problem. I think I just peeled it away a liitle when I was positioning for the pics. It's made by Ergo and I'm happy with their stuff. Hookster

That's just a ladder style rail cover. I hadn't noticed it had peeled away slightly until I looked at the photo. Hookster

I did hold the barrel and tapped the stock on the floor just to make sure everything was fully seated but maybe they machined yours on the day the QC manager was on vacation. Have you contacted them about the fit issue (maybe you could exchange) or tried your own fix? Hookster

A friend of mine did the full house wrap but the satellites zeroed in on it right away needless to say he hasn't been heard from since -[Mr. Smiley sez... paranoia is fun]

This shows the KZ on the left, Sidearmor in the middle and stock Benelli on the right. The KZ and SideArmor seem identical in size and shape. http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/vv262/hookster_photo/benellikz108.jpg

I think this is the area that MeanGreen was having a fit issue but mine seems to fit fine http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/vv262/hookster_photo/benellikz106.jpg

Hey All, Sorry about the long delay. Here are some shots of the KZ rail installed http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/vv262/hookster_photo/benellikz104.jpg

Yeah, I'm thinking I might have to go the full suit route too. Better safe than sorry Hookster

Hey JoeD, PG vs Standard is probably just personal preference, whatever feels right to you. I have PG on both my M1 and M4. The military standard stock for the M4 is the collapsable. Hookster

Just make sure before you attach any pie plate to the existing foil hat that it's stamped "Made in U.S.A." Hookster

I have the Meprolights front and rear and they seem plenty bright to me. I'm very happy with them Hookster

This is why I said we need to wear our tin foil hats at all times:D Hookster

Never heard of them but their stuff looks interesting. It looked like their charging handle might not be one of the rotating type but it was hard to tell for sure from the picture. I'd been thinking about ordering one of the FL tubes from TacticalShotgunner.com but I decided just to wait till Kip gets things going. I ordered the day after the cutoff so hopefully, I should be near the top of the list when he gets production moving. Hookster

Welcome McDaddy, Yeah, you're one of us now. Your tin foil hat and decoder ring should arrive in the mail this week. Make sure you put the hat on right away. Seriously though, You got a great deal on your M1. Enjoy!, and let us know what you think after you take it out blasting. Take Care Hookster

BINGO!!!!

Am I on the right track??? http://www.eurochasse.com/pages/guns/enlarged%20guns/benelli/benelli_sbe_atlfly_e.htm

If you decide to go with a synth. standard stock you might want to start a WTB thread here for it. It's possible that someone may have one that they'd let go at a better price or if by chance, you currently have a collapsable stock. I'm sure someone would want to trade with you. Hookster

Welcome Kublah, I don't hold out much hope for you finding wood furniture for an M4 without talking to someone who does custom stocks. Here's a link to the standard synthetic stock though: http://www.e-gunparts.com/DisplayAd.asp?chrProductSKU=980370&chrSuperSKU=&MC= Hookster

There should be some small notches visable in the edge of the choke in addition to the 4 cut outs for the choke tool that tell you what type it is. Four notches = Improved cylinder (which is probably what's in the gun), three notches=Modified and one notch=Full Hookster

Let us know how you like it. Hookster
