Just returned from Vegas and placed the M4 back on GunBroker.com. It is listed as Auction # 37773184 with a reduced price of $1300 so it's an even better deal. clb.

Just to follow-up on the Gunbroker.com site. I placed it on a 5 day auction, had 160 hits, one email yet no action. Thanks again for everyone's input. clb

Thanks again Unobtanium, I will. clb

Thanks for the feeback you guys! The auction runs just over another day. Any ideas on where else to put this up for sale? My cousin owns an oil production maintenance facility in Alaska, he says the guys use Benelli's for guarding against bears. Perhaps they'll go for an M4... Cheers, clb

Thanks! I'd rather have it priced well then sit there and get stale. clb

Well I put it off as late as I could, got into it and the trigger group came out as if by accident, meaning I wasn't really sure if what I was doing, was correct. Took some photos, then started the re-assembly. Kind of felt like when I took that alarm clock apart when I was 8. Thought I was going to have to run down to my gunshop but re-read the part you wrote about depressing the bolt release. It's the simple things that make me smile! It certainly resembles the three stage recoil tube as depicted in Unobtanium's photographs. I'll post it on Gun Broker, perhaps you confirm it for me and I'll make the ammendment to the discription. Thanks again to you and to Unobtanium, as I said earlier, to me it's just a shotgun and I wasn't aware of the variations. I guess the question is, should I be raising the price of the weapon? Thanks, clb

Thanks Sukhoi fan, I'll incorporate your note in a minute. Thanks for you input. Weird thing is, I priced it to get rid of it, you'd think it'd have some bids by now. See ya, clb

If you'd like to see the condition of the weapon, please go to gun broker. com and pull up Auction Number 136648434, Thanks, clb

Simple stuff eh? Ok, I'll try it out with coffee in the morning. thanks again.

Thanks for the information! I question wether or not I'd be able to get everything back together properly. As stated eariler, I put the weapon on Gun Broker, so it would be good to know so that I can pass it on. What's you take on how difficult this procedure would be for a guy that usually just pulls the trigger?

I'm not sure what the 11707 version is, or that I'd be able to get the weapon back together correctly. What would the different recoil tube assemblies offer? Thanks again Unobtanium...

Thanks for the feedback Kukhoi_fan. No flag, just stampings which of course include the BZ date stamp. later, clb

OK, got a moment, did some research on this site to find exactly where to look for the ports, and I thought they were compensators... Yeah, ok.. There are two, located approximately 4.5 inches forward of the breech, and are positioned at approximately the 5 & 7 o'clock position. Thanks for making me aware of this feature. Now I'm looking for a flag. Could you suggest where I might find this on the receiver, on the outside, inside, etc. Thanks again, clb

Thanks for the info., please refer to response to Sukhoi_fan. I'm still not sure that I know what a port is, I was thinking those little holes at the end of a barrel, like the compensator on my Win. .300 tactical target rifle. I just bought a bunch of toys and know next to nothing about the finer inner workings. Cheers, Carl

Thanks! It says BZ which according to the chart is a 2005 year manufacture. As far as ports? I'm assuming those are the two cylinders located under the barrel, concealed by the fore end piece? Thanks to all, but to me, it's just a really cool shotgun that sits behind the bedroom door as a fall back weapon when not in the vault. Now if you want to talk Leonbergers, I know something about them.. Thanks again, carl
