If imported as 'intended for LE/MIL use only', then why the need for the mag extension rather than simply having an OEM FL mag tube?? And *in theory* I can *possibly* see if a LE agency purchased them initially with any such item having been imported 'LE/MIL use only' and then released how any such item could be deemed exempt - much like a LE agency selling off any used M4 as surplus (and therefore exempt from 922r).

righty tighty, lefty loosie

I need some O-rings.

Many thanks BW and SD for all your great contributions.

Perhaps this will help - http://www.benelliusa.com/forum/showthread.php/29526-Benelli-M4-Trigger-Disconnector-and-Hammer-Disassembly?highlight=trigger+install

If that's the case then one has to wonder why Benelli sells the M4 with a modified choke rather than an improved cylinder as they "strongly recommend" since buck and slugs is what can be expected to be used in a M4..

This swine's asinine comment made the Denver Post - http://blogs.denverpost.com/thespot/2013/04/03/as-lead-sponsor-in-house-on-gun-legislation-rep-diana-degette-appears-to-not-understand-how-they-work/93506/

Ammo mags can only be used once. Help this video go viral -

JMO but I submit you opened yourself up to it. If you want to get the *maximum* price then there's feebay or gunjoker. Attempting to take advantage of your fellow forum members on this forum is inappropriate imo. There was another way without mentioning a price: "Offers considered - submit offers via PM." Surely you're not into that stock anywhere near $500, and if you are then you're playing the greater fool game. In these times gunowners should be treating their fellow gunowners with the utmost respect and not trying to price gouge (as I'm seeing with the a$$hats trying to flip ammo). Again, jmo.

I missed the fact that you have another M4 - that being the case I agree with the notion of selling it for the mega score to someone who just has to have it and funding some other activity, like buying more ammo. Can't ever have too much ammo...

Yeah, screw that 'collectible' nonsense, shoot it like there's no tomorrow (with the Communist gungrabbers you can never tell, note Colorado) and be glad you have it. I've got a 'collectible' M1014 and I regard it as a shooter.

It appears you're unfamiliar with Texas history. The fight (and subsequent defeat) at the Alamo set the stage for Sam Houston's victory at San Jacinto.

Two gas plugs, one o-ring per gas plug.

And the winner is...

Not just Benelli shotguns, ALL shotguns which will accept a magazine extension. http://denver.cbslocal.com/2013/03/01/popular-standard-shotgun-could-be-banned-under-proposed-bill/

Thanks for that feedback Uno.

It's sad that moneychangers have absolutely gutted two fine companies, even stripping the heart and soul from them. I'm a long time Marlin lever gun fan myself.

Has anyone used these? On the box it says they're made for smooth bore barrels. http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/winchester-super-x-slugs-12-gauge-x123rs15-rifled-slug-3-1-ozs-5-rounds.aspx?a=202724

Makes little difference what the MSRP is, it's Remington crap*. You couldn't give me one. *Obviously Remington hasn't always been crap, it's just since the investment banksters/speculator swine have taken over that Remington (and Marlin, et al.) has turned to crap.

You're welcome. I forgot to mention - from my experience when you subject elastic material to 90+ degree temperatures, the more exposure the quicker the elastic gives out over time - one summer in your car or truck in the southern regions will kill the elastic on your bandolier. So for the kit in your car you may want to run the cheaper bandolier. FYI

I bought a low end bandolier (AIM Sports/holds 55 rounds) and a high end bandolier (Urban E.R.T./holds 50 rounds). They both serve the purpose, however as you can imagine the low end one has less material. The downside to the AIM Sports bandolier is the girth which is 53". The two significant positives to the Urban E.R.T. is that there's extra material which isn't covered by the elastic shell holder so that when over your shoulder the bandolier does not interfere with shouldering your shotgun (whereas a bandolier which has the shell holders all the way to the end definitely will); the other advantage over the AIM Sports bandolier is the girth, the Urban E.R.T. has a girth of 62" which I'm certain would be very helpful when suited up with body armor, or if one is on the large side. The Urban E.R.T. is pricey, that's for sure, but I'm convinced it's worth it. http://www.urbanertslings.com/tacoshbafor1.html I've got five different types of rounds on my bandoliers: (by round count) #4 buck, Ranger Low Recoil 00, Federal 000 (I really like 000), Dupleks 028, and BRI sabots. Each has its own feel on the ends and each type is placed in the same locations on each bandolier so I can feel the difference even in the dark while under stressfire. I've positioned them all brass down for ease of use. I'm still working it out, but since I've been in a situation where I only had a single round left at the end of the incident I have this thing about not running out of ammo. For my purposes I want something I can grab and go with in an instant. I've tried it and I could carry four bandoliers on my shoulders ok, but that is a bit much of a load for the purposes of speed and movement so I've settled on two bandoliers - given enough time to grab two. Each of my shotguns has it own ready to go kit, although I'm still working out the details, hence this thread to fish for some more ideas.

First of all I'd like to express my appreciation for those of you who never rest and spare no expense in your pursuit of getting your tactical shotgun and related kit 'just right'. I could start naming names, however I'm sure I'd leave someone out (and I certainly don't mean to) - but you guys know who you are. I've very interested in hearing the different solutions some of you have come up with for carrying the most ammo possible while nominally impeding movement. I will share my thoughts later in this thread, as my own solutions are still evolving. I will say this - I've yet to find a tactical shotgun vest which carries enough ammo to keep me happy and safe. TIA

I called FFT, they're backordered on FL mag tubes for a couple of months.

Welcome to the forum Reggie. Most folks install the Geissele hammer for 922® compliance, not because it's a vast improvement over the OEM hammer. Where are you able to find a Geissele hammer these days anyway? Geissele's webpage says out of stock. ETA: I called Geissele and inquired as to when their Benelli M4 hammers will be available again and the fellow who answered the phone said, "...because of everything going on, late April."

I hear that. And not only with respect to recoil, that extra muzzle flash is a problem as well.
