  1. I looked at pictures of the M4A1 supernova stock and it definitely looks like it uses the same pistol grip portion as the regular M4. Its rare to find pictures of the left side. You can see the notch on the left side of the grip where the unlock button sits when the stock is fully collapsed on the M4 model. Personally I'm not a big fan of the M4A1 "upgrades". So converting it to have a traditional stock is a solid choice in my opinion. The enhanced RXArms extension is the way to go!
  2. That piece fits inside the pistol grip and applies tension as you tighten the grip onto the receiver extension. It's part #120 on this picture.
  3. I forgot about the safety spring depressor tool he made too. Here’s a picture of the tools. Hope he’s doing well. I know he traveled internationally for work.
  4. Never used the factory tool, but the tools made by the forum member here named Vertigofirearms are the absolute best. He made tools that are Magnabit format to attach to your favorite driver. He made ones for removing the screwed in plug in the bottom of the receiver extension and for disassembling ARGO plugs. Both are an absolute joy to use compared to my old janky methods. Every time I disassemble a clients M4, I’m thrilled to use these amazing tools that fit absolutely perfectly. They have a special place on my tool bit holders. The Argo tool is best used with a vice so that you can press the tool into the Argo plug and remove spring tension. You then orientate the plug so the pin simply falls out the bottom once the right amount of tension is pressed in. The receiver extension tool is like a perfect socket that fits into the notch on the plug. You can easily get the most stubborn of plugs out with it. Unfortunately I haven’t seen him on in a while. I know for a while he had a small website and was selling them. They were expensive, but they were basically bullet made pieces of art.
  5. I haven’t handled one to say for certain, but I imagine the internals are the same so they could remain compatible with the pistol grip stock and field stock. I can’t imagine why they’d force themselves into making new parts. However, we are talking Benelli here…
  6. The Airtech is nicer. It will work on the fixed stocks or if the end user was willing to give up the fully collapsed position since you can’t drill into it and expect it to provide the same recoil mitigation. But yeah, they do need an adapter plate like the Noveske one the last I recall.
  7. You'll want the one labeled "Dark Grey" to match the phosphate finished M4s.
  8. RXArms is developing a heat shield that doubles as a MLOK mounting position that will permit the user to push a light mount out while still using the oem handguards. Currently they’ve hit a production delay the last I read. I believe the user must use their top rail mounting solution which acts as a rear boss for the heat shield. So it is kind of involved and expensive in comparison to the IWC mounting solution. It does have the potential of being a better system since the user can move the light farther forward to minimize barrel shadow issues. I still need to see in person how the remote switch integrates. Or if I’d have to modify the oem handguard for the activation system from something like the Unity Tactical HotButton. I still tolerate the Mesa Truckee on my setup with an IR head, but as you mentioned, it sucks.
  9. Benelli admins smartly assigned a few of us as moderators so we can kill the spam and moderate the usual forum stupidity. The little shield on the user profile picture indicates who is a moderator now. That way we can delete the crap on nights, weekends and holidays where Benelli staff aren't going to be around. Sukhoi_fan and I were assigned as them. There might be more, but I haven't seen them.
  10. If it causes problems, Benelli will fix it for you, but just cosmetics, they probably won't do anything. You could try running it by their customer service.
  11. Certainly not the best looking bolt I've seen, but it shouldn't cause you any functional problems.
  12. My M4 sits ready loaded with Hexolit32's. Its primary role for the past decade has been for bear problems. They'd be great for folding a skinwalker in half if you sprinkle white ash on them. Kind of a funny story, we have like 28 4K cameras around the property all hard wired into a NVR with a bunch of data storage. One of the cameras is mounted at the public road facing down the street. These are paved roads but just wide enough for a single car to drive and have a mix of Ponderosa pines 120' in height mixed with oaks that enclose the road. It is extremely dark since most of the sky is occluded by the tree cover. Very few have any active porch lights on and there are very few houses out here to begin with. I was sitting at the computer at night, and a secondary laptop runs the camera feeds to my right. I notice some movement on the camera mentioned and double click it to bring that view full screen. On the screen at night in black and white IR is this buck mule deer with an impressive rack right in front of the camera standing on its back legs walking slowly towards the camera. Like it was squared up with the camera. Its front legs were bowed out like the pictures of kangaroo's you see ready to beat some ass. In the IR light, deer eyes reflect light back so its eyes looked like they were glowing. Its fur was all messed up like it had been in a fight, or maybe it had that deer wasting disease. It felt like it was standing there for five seconds squared up but it was probably a lot shorter. I wish I had saved at least a picture of it. For that split second that I thought skinwalkers might be a real thing, I was reaching for the Benelli. The Hexolit32's are amazingly low recoil full powered slugs. I shot some old 1950's steel car doors and they whistled right on thru into the cab. If you clipped any of the supporting frame, they'd deflect and pool ball their way into the cab.
  13. Shorter the overall length in a tube fed gun, the fewer rounds you have available to feed from. So you end up with diminishing returns on a semi auto. At a certain point, you might as well just get a short side by side and eliminate the complexity of the semi auto. On the M4, you'd be stuck working around the receiver extension, so you're always going to have that awkward angled extension poking out.
