You get what you pay for..

Was it one of those relatively lightweight Walmart style safes, or one of those 600 pound empty behemoths?
My understanding was a large heavy safe.. the thieves were prepared to take it.. Even if it's a 1000 pounds loaded it's not thta hard to take if not bolted down.
Expensive lesson for the guy to learn.
-
Guy didn't have his safe bolted down.. was stolen and they found it in South Central LA (what a shocker)..
One gun in there was:
Benelli M4/ M1014 Limited Edition in 12 gauge w/ original extended mag tube, Trijicion Ghost Sights & ? Tactical Charging Handle (SERIAL # M1014 1897)

Oh, and bolt down you safe.. no matter how heavy it is...

And what has the OP contributed to this board besides posting a whiny thread?
I don't know Kip.. but on my M1014 I have his top rail, Ti charging handle and Ti extended mag.. his website isn't state-of-the-art by any stretch but it got the job done for placing my orders and the quality of his products is top notch. I've only had to email him once and he got back with me in 24 hours. Considering this is a side-gig I was ok with that.
The internet cry babies are far more annoying that a small companie's slower than expected response time.

In case you missed the show, scroll to 04:10 of the video:

As previously stated, how does the world 3X championship only hit two?
Well, for one shooting skeet IS NOT shooting slugs at jars.. :shrug:

I have the Urbino in FDE, but scrapped my black Freedom Fighter Tactical hand guards due to atrocius fit.
If anyone tries these new FDE ones and determines the tongue-&-groove, warpage, and tendency to "creak" loudly has been resolved, please let us know.
I would definitely give them (FFT) a second chance to match my Urbino.
Thanks for the post pics.
I got my FF forearms two weeks ago.. they fit great (only needed to file off a tiny nub where it can't be seen) and they don't seem warped and I have noticed any "creaking".. :shrug:
-
Just my opinion, but it would look better with the PG sleeve and the recoil pad black instead of FDE.
I agree with this.. plus it wouldn't show wear and "grime" as bad.. somebody photoshop it?
I would be all over the OD color..
-
I guess that means the muted one I ordered three weeks ago might be shipping?
If so then woo hoo.. now I just need a trigger part or two (hint hint)
-
Item is sold.. that was fast, should have asked for more money.. lol

Decided to go another route, so I have a Surefire M80 M4 Forearm for sale.. haven't shot it since it was mounted so it's like new, pretty sure I have the factory box.
Paid well over $200.. sell for $160
Thanks,

I have a Surefire M80 forarm for sale.. like new.. $160
Just went a different route.. well made product though.
-
The M80 is good to go. A dedicated handguard would be nice too though.
Mine is for sale if anyone needs one.. modding a stocker (then if this works a FF)
-
I wish someone would make a OEM style forearm with just enough rail to mount a light in the forward area. Perhaps even make the small piece of rail moveable from the left, bottom or right side. I prefer the slim feel of the factory unit.
Just a thought.... a wish...
Im working on my stock Benelli handguard.. milling a flat spot to attach a leftover Magpul small three section rail. All I want is a spot to mount a TR1 or something.
I wish the Freedom Fighter guys would have done this.. then it would have been a double win (922r AND an improvement over stock)
-
Great line of reasoning BigHat, the only thing I would also consider would be ammunition replenishment. 5.7 is not a common caliber and would much more difficult to source in the type scenario's this thread would be considering. 5.56 and 9mm would probably the easiest to find.
If stuff gets that bad I imagine replenishment will be an issue except what you can scavenge.
In that case I bet you can scavenge .223 weapons as easily as .223 ammo.
If I'm bugging out (ie, away from home).. I'm going to be evading and trying to stay out of fights. This means the 500-700 rnds I'm carrying will last a long time (with luck forever). The weapons and ammo I chose were based on weight which is very critical when traveling on foot.
-
M1014
PS90
FN 5.7
The lightweight of the to FN guns would help make up for the my heavy 1014.. Also, I can carry a crapload more 5.7 ammo than even .223.. Heck, with three mags in the PS90 and three in the 5.7 pistol I have 240 rnds ready to go and even a 1,000 rnds isn't all that heavy.
This is assuming I'm bugging out on foot. If I'm barricaded at home it's my SCAR 16, 1911 and still the M1014
-
I wish the Freedom Fighters guys would have just put a little damn rail section on thier new forearm.. then it would have been perfect.
Nice looking M4 there.. very well thought out.
-
I need a couple of washers... lost one when putting on Kip's rail
-
I just wish they would have molded in a small light rail at the three o'clock position... that way it would add functionality as well as 922r
Or at least a place to mount a small rail.. like the Magpul MOE deal. Now I have to mill it down and make a spot.
-
First off let me just say the Customer Service over at LaRue Tactical is top notch. I ordered T1 (low mount) and a Tshirt and the package arrived five days later. In the box they gave me a free "tactical beverage opener" and a bottle of thier spice rub.
To me that is above and beyound. Plus their price on the T1 bundled with thier mount (no Aimpoint mount) was the best I found.
Anyways.. I also ordered the new rail from Kip at Carriercomp.. it also arrived in 5 days and is a great little product.
So now they are both on and I just need Kip's new charging handle and the forends from Freedom Fighter and I will be a happy camper.
Two things:
1. Where can I buy a replacement conical serrated grip washer since one fell into the abyss when I was chainging out the rail.
2. Is there anyway to attach a quick-connect swivel to the M1014 collapasble stock?
And some obigatory gun porn
-
I have a M1014.. where can I buy the correct recoil tube to make mine functional (when I move out of state of course)..???
-
Yes, the "USA" made Mag Tube is one part, a follower 2nd part and a Forearm / Forend is a 3rd.
Kip from "carriercomp" makes followers and mag tubes and Freedom Fighter Tactical has proto-type of the Forearm / Forend as we speak. Should be completed between end of Shot-Show or end of February for $50
I thought Kip said I needed FOUR parts since I'm in CA and have a M1014 (even though it doesn't collapse)
-
We're not always idiots here.. just mostly..
We won and they will try again..
-
Wish they would have integrated a tiny rail section at the 3 o'clock section for a small light..
Right now I'm working on milling a flat spot onto my stocker to hold and extra Magpul rail I have.
In any event, I will be buying one of these along with a charging handle and hammer from Kip..
I'm Just About Done With This Place

I thought you said the mods didn't do anything about it?
