Here's a non-Benelli project I finished this summer......a Winchester Model 1903, this one manufactured in 1906. In 1933, the model was re-named the Model 63 and produced until 1958. It is the first civilian semi-auto rifle produced, using the Winchester .22 Auto cartridge, not the same as a regular .22 cal. Used to great grandpa's.....family member found it last year in an old box.......don't think it was ever cleaned, certainly used....the forend was held together with bailing wire. Complete restoration inside / out with fabricated stock of higher grade. Haven't shot it yet, but it was in perfect mechanical order internally, I just polished and re-blued all the parts.

Not all 2.75" cartridges are created equal...remember the 2.75" is the approximate length of the fired cartridge...the actual length of the crimped unfired cartridge may vary by 1/8" or more, depending on manufacturer; when this variance is multiplied by 5-7 cartridges, the difference is enough to change the loaded magazine capacity. Before you start clipping springs, you might do some side-by-side cartridge comparisons and observe the loading differences. Some of these same cartridge specification differences often account for loading / feeding problems that some experience with their actions, but the action, not the cartridges get identified as the cause. Just sayin'.

The SBR with all the Holiday trimmings weighs 8 lbs w/o magazine.......a Benelli M4 18" weighs 8.5 lbs empty. The OBR weighs 9.5 lbs barebones; with accessories 13 lbs.

For 2013......how about a 4 image limit ?

Stranger...... Just finished a couple of non-Benelli projects too.

The village is under cyber attack.......all hands man your stations.......this is not a drill!

Lightfield is the brand for 3.5"

See post #32.

OF all the illegal things in the AZ desert......your M4 would be the most welcomed !....and maybe needed.

Everyone tells me I look great in Red !

Then you might enjoy my Assembly / Disassembly Anatomy Series Manuals for the Winchester Model 12

IF nothing else, when he features a shotgun in a movie its value increases........here's Arnie in the terminator with a Franchi SPAS-12 and the infamous "hook" .........hopefully the new movie will increase the value of my SBS M4's too !

Sorry, Bello, I forgot you like them naked. The rest of you guys cover your eyes....I'm going to undress this style until Bello is happy. Jackalope.......with the Knox stock it's a kitten to shoot.

The idea is to use the one above when one needs to clear out a motor home or small rooms and not to be used for sporting clays....nothing beyond 10 yards. If you need a sighting system, then use a light / laser combo with an offset mount like the SureFire X400 with remote pressure switch shown below that can be swapped with other setups.

As already mentioned, an offset rail mounts the light and use a remote pressure pad switch. I use this setup on a barrel 1/2 as short as yours !

This is why closet hangers lose their shape must be replaced every year....something about a closet.

The little brother is kind of sexy too......unfortunately and surprisingly, the magazines are not compatible between the two. Sorry about California.

I tried the Daniel Defense with its "see-thru" base.....which allows using the stock M4 iron sights as back-ups. This may be what you are looking for. Rather than the Daniel Defense, I prefer the LaRue lower mount (not a see-thru base) with various red dot sights used in conjunction with SureFire Barry Dueck off-set BUIS which are really nice.

Village speak trivia...... In Greek mythology, Argo (in Greek: Ἀργώ, means 'swift') just sayin'.

I use the RMR 07 atop a 6x48 ACOG that works well.

Looks like I am going to have to sneak one of those X300-Ultra's into the house.....wish SureFire had an obsolete product upgrade exchange program for all their xenon !.....they actually do have LED head upgrades (xenon to LED) available for a lot of their now discontinued lights, but just the head is almost as much as the new LED version flashlight. It's nauseating to have a pile of money tied up in flashlights that still work well but are obsolete technology. A partial list of now old money below.

I hope they don't discontinue the Scout lines completely. The Mossberg has the M300 scout mounted. The Benelli M4 has the M620 Scout mounted. The X400 with a pressure pad is Scout-like. The SBR also has a Scout M620 mounted.

It may not be coming out......just sayin'.

We're now 2 buttons closer to restoring the village.

What they said......a picture is worth a thousand more words. From my Benelli M1/M2 Anatomy Series Manual
