Sucks. Particularly on such a beautiful shotgun. Unfortunately it doesn't take much to dislodge the button from the body of the shell latch. They're welded in place or press fit or something... These larger buttons exert more stress on the components than the factory post was designed to handle. Most of the aftermarket shell stops take OEM shell stops and modify them for their buttons to fit. So nothing is really beefed up. I did this to a GG&G shell stop for a M4. I contacted GG&G and they replaced the part for me. Perhaps Briley will do the same?

I would say no. Both parts have a different SKU unit number.

You have to step up to watching something like Better Call Saul to get a little more thought provoking deeper meaning with subtle foreshadowing and character development. I watched the spin off zombie show fear the walking dead last weekend. Hated almost all the character and wished they'd get killed. Preferably in a painful way. A lot of west coast potential wasted.

Regular gasoline that hasn't turned to varnish after 9 months!

Congratulations! Looking forward to see what is next.

A quality bolt handle would be popular.

Is the sling looped over the magazine tube?

He was almost shouldering it correctly, almost. The sound effect guy needs some work though.

Thanks for the information Steve! I'd guess the pistons would restrict how far out of alignment it could be. If I recall with Unobtaniums, it was only out of alignment by a few degrees. I wonder if they crank them down to 150 ft lbs. like they do on AR15 barrel extensions.

Take a look at this part I found for sale. I never realized the barrel and the barrel extension were separate parts. I wonder if this was the source problem for Unobtanium's canted front sight issues several years ago. I wonder if Benelliwerkes has ever taken one of these apart?

It's kind of a pain in the d*ck. ATF 'recommends' you fill out the first page of a form 5, get it approved by them and then it can be transferred like any other shotgun. Theoretically I'd then have to fill out a form 5 to send it to Robar, then Robar fills one out back to me. Then finally one back to you. They take like 4 or 5 weeks to give you the approval. So following their recommended path, this would take forever. It's definitely a gray area. I've called the ATF several times to try to get this clarified. They give you the standard form letter answer of, "You have to do it." Most say screw all this since it just says recommends and not this is the law. Most just stick a copy of their form 1 or form 4 in with it along with a letter expressing the intended goal for the transfer. Robar handles all of their transactions like this for NFA devices. Particularly SBS and SBR NFA items.

Did some live fire tests yesterday with the burnt bronze M4. I went through 75 slugs and 50 rounds of buckshot, none of which would be considered low recoil. The Limbsaver makes shooting slugs so much more enjoyable. I don't even have a tingle in my shoulder today. Also tested out the upgrades to a bolt carrier. I coated the bolt, extractor, extractor retaining pin, firing pin, cam, firing pin retainer in NP3+. I also dropped some NP3+ coated parts into the trigger pack, mainly the breech latch, trigger bushing pin, hammer spring cap and carrier spring plunger.

Market it as a safety device!

Better save that one for the Ithaca model 37 to avoid pesky ejection problems!

I can't recommend the Tacstar shell carrier. I had one way back around 2005. It was terrible. You have to literally disassemble the unit to get your trigger pack out of the gun for cleaning. As the user above stated, if you tighten it too much, it binds the bolt carrier by squeezing your receiver. Too loose and it shakes loose. The shell retention was excellent on it, but the execution was just terrible. It's rather heavy too, if I recall, the unit was 9 ounces without any shells. Add six shells, and that'll add another 12 ounces. Threw mine in the trash.

They look pretty similar. I think I sent all of the ones I had on hand out for coating though.

http://www.3gungear.com/ I'd recommend this system over all the hard mount options. It's lighter, does the same job and can crush flat when not being used. Best of all, it is a lot cheaper than other options.

No need to mess with it. The new Followers from Benelli don't have that red plastic visual marker. So carriercomp just anodized their new followers red and cuts out the need.

My thought went to that case as well. Most of the time the owner ended up with the hammer down on a live round, so it wasn't a very reliable full auto setup.

Thanks! I recall way back when when we were brainstorming modifying existing receiver extensions to make the stock collapse. Glad we don't have to do that crap anymore!

OEM trigger surprisingly. Not sure how it could have possibly made it out of the factory functioning like that. It was a situation where the trigger had too much material around the disconnector. So it was not likely to have been something someone modified.

Ran into a new problem recently for a client. His M4 was going full auto on him when firing. As much fun as that sounds, it wasn't reliable. Most of the time the hammer would fall and ride the bolt carrier into battery, leaving you with a live round in the chamber and the hammer down. I had the owner send the trigger pack in for me to inspect. I found the trigger itself was defective. The area near the disconnector was out of spec and causing the disconnector to fail. The hammer sear would barely grab onto the disconnector when holding the trigger to the rear and cocking the hammer. The hammer would easily slip past the hook and drop.

Can you take a picture of the DMW and the OEM safety side by side so that we can see the center portion of the safeties? The area where the detent engages the safety. It's possible it was not machined correctly. While you're at it, take a picture of the handguard fitment issue. Most fitting issues can be addressed with a file or sanding the engagement tabs. Determining where to file is probably the hardest part.

Thanks for the pics. Looks great!
