Got the Celtic Mist one. Good to go. Install one these are fairly easy. You just have to remove the pivot pin taking into acount to location and position of the spring. Then swap out the part and replace the spring and pin.

So much speculation. So how about one more? Almost certainly not the case, but one can dream ... Imagine, if you will, a true "combination muzzle device and 8th round extender". Not two independent pieces, but peices that are sold as a unit with integral coupler for added rigidity. Detents in the coupler would also prevent unwanted rotation; so no worries about the muzzle device coming lose and rotating (or flying off) after indexing. Coupler also gets picatinny rails at 3, 6, 9 ... For all you accessorizors! Cleaner lines, more solid mouting, better function. All in one. Price? eight bajillion dollars! Mwa-ha-ha. ETA ... Oh, and it's made of an adamantium and unobtainum hybrid. So there. 'Nuff said. No need to speculate further.

I've got an EOtech 556. It is kind of finicky (stopped working after 30 days and I had to send it off to L3 for warranty work). GREAT sight, but I'm going to leave it on my carbine. For the Benelli, I'm hoping to get a Trij RMR. Specifically, the dual-illuminated, battery-free RMR that runs tritium and fiber optics. Gotta save up some dough for that though. I really love the EOtech's parralax-free holographic reticle and wide-open field of view for a CQB carbine; but I'm not convinced that it's durable enough for rugged use. I'll get an Aimpoint for next time I need a carbine optic. Battle rifles--18" and 20" barrels--will get 4x Trijicons with piggy-backed RMR's going forward.

Tempting since I don't pull my Rec7 out often. But my Rec7 is a low-serial original (Gen. 1) and it's worth a bit too much to trade away on a second Benelli.

Anyone notice that Panabax hasn't been on the site since Feb.? He went to test his pistons only to never return ... That's not a good sign.

It doesn't matter what the uncompressed length of the springs are; so it really doesn't help if you put in a stock Benelli magazine spring that has shorter uncompressed length. All that matters is the compressed length of the spring. Just trim the DMW spring down until you can fit the seventh. I'm reasonably sure that you'll still have the power in that spring to reliably feed all seven rounds. (I provide no warranty on that statement though.) Some 2-3/4" shells can run a bit long. I'd still cut down the spring though. That's how I handled my Wolff spring, and I have no problems with it.

My only shotgun is the M4 (for now) but there's something to be said about getting a Mossberg 590A1 or Remington 870 as a backup shotty. They're utterly reliable. And--not that it would happen to your M4--you aren't going to bust a piston on the 590 or 870. One or the other is still on my "will buy" list. I go back and forth because I like to modifications that can be made with the 870 (like the stock/grip adapter from S&J Hardware) slightly more than the ones available for the 590; but, at its core, I like the 590 a bit more. But I digress ... Don't write off a pump-action down the road. If the money is there, go and get yourself one.

The M1014 Joint Service Combat Shotgun (Benelli M4 Super 90) is the shotgun all branches of the US military will be procuring going forward. The USMC just did the initial adoption and field testing. So, we got it first; but it is the shotgun for all branches.

Gosh ... That had better be for some college marksmanship team. The paisley actually ain't too bad. I wouldn't mind getting a firearm to match the apholstery on the chair in my bedroom. Hide the darn thing in plain sight!

Those of us who buy the "gaudy" buttons don't give a crap how they look. Form FOLLOWS function. (Just mucking with you M ...)

Oh yeah. Where's my wallet ... I can hardly wait for these to become available.

Moved mine to the left side many moons ago. Finally got a BFG sling on it last week.

Thanks. It's on my "must buy" list ...

Not really the right forum for Uberti questions, but if it's a 1860 Henry, you might need to twist open the magazine towards the muzzle after compressing and capturing the magazine spring. I think that's how they load, though I've never had my hands on one to try it.

I do not have effective body armor at this time. (Two carriers; no inserts.) I would, but it's too expensive for me right now. I don't anticipate needing it. My house is laid out in such a way that it would be a stretch to get my kid out of harm's way and get to a firearm before encountering the baddie; much less put on body armor. It's pretty much down to my wife grabbing the kid while I get the firearm up. Then, time permitting, getting my wife armed before I go out to encounter the baddie. Would love body armor for the SHTF scenario; but my finances just don't allow me that luxury at this time.

Good to hear from you Devil Dog. That phone thing has got to be illegal under some law. (Harassment?) Perhaps there is some legal action you could take to stop them. It might be as simple as filing a criminal complaint. I got a titanium bolt knob from another manufacturer (FFT); but I'm still looking forward to yours. (No compliants about the FFT one; just have "brand loyalty" to Carrier Comp after installing your titanium magazine.) If you say the hybrid is superior, all the more reason to snatch up one of yours when available. Semper fidelis.

Extra long tube = longer disntance for spring. Longer distance spring (assuming a heavier spring isn't used) = less tension when empty. Consider that they are loading 4 shells into a tube that holds 10; there's a lot of extra ground for that spring, so it isn't anywhere near peak resistance.

They are definitely Benellis; but I can't place the models.

Because some people can barely scrape up the money for the shotgun itself. Why do some people always asume that a guy with a Benelli has financial freedom to buy accessories that cost hundreds of dollars? (I'm just saying ...)

Hmm ... Seen rock salt. I wonder about dimes though. I think I'd like to see that.

I've got #3 buckshot. I figure its a good compromise between the big stopping power of the 00 and 000 buck, and the lower-penetration of the smaller "sporting-sized" shot. (I've got a kid in the house, so retained energy after initial impact is a factor to consider.) I haven't put it to a home intruder though--thank goodness--so I don't know how it'll do in practice.

Wrong. Guess what stocks fit on the MR1 ...

Yeah, I don't think it's going to be 700 bucks. High end of the 200's maybe ... The reason we don't see any aftermarket stocks for the M4 out there is that nobody thinks there's a big enough market for them. If the price is too high, it will only serve to reinforce that thinking. The higher the price, the narrower your market will be for a product. If they want it to succeed, they're going to need to offer it at a price point that is attractive to everyone.

Looks like he's doing competition based on those shell holders. The fewer reloads you have to do in competition, the faster your time is going to be.

Got myself a Sig P226 SCT with magwell grips in 9mm (5x20rd magazine). That's the "combat" pistol in case I ever need to engage in an extended "gun fight". Haven't got a second yet, but I want it to be a man-stopper. Probably .45. Can't carry in my state (for now) so I'll probably stick with a full-sized .45. I've been eyeing a Springfield Operator. If I could carry, I'd have to re-evaluate. I'd probably go with a compact or sub-compact 9mm, such as the Kahr MK9. (The polymer is too light and uncomfortable for me; and the 9mm is for higher capacity.) BTW, the zombies need to be dropped with cranial shots or shots to the heart; lungs and other organs won't incapacitate, and their rotted flesh doesn't "pile" very well. 9mm to the cranium will beat a .45 to the chest for zombies ... Hence the hi-cap 9mm.
