Just ordered mine. Will compare it with my GG&G and FFT titanium bolt handles.

Maybe Stranger Danger can upload this photo properly for the crowd. It's the 12.5" IDF variant of the M4. http://s1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee424/veryeasy4me/?action=view&current=Screenshot2011-03-30at102004PM.png

Thanks for the proper upload. I was surprised to discover that both the SideArmor and the SureFire rail systems fit together. The Barry Dueck 45 degree off-set rapid transition sights (far optics to near peep sights) are really effective. It is actually lighter than a Wilson Combat (Scattergun Technologies) Remington 870 with a SureFire Forend fully loaded. The Short barrel configuration is still quick to point. The extra 4" of barrel and cartridges in the tube etc, create a heavy moment arm on the 18" platforms. Still waiting for the GG&G Bolt release pad......2 months so far.

Finally got around to dressing up the M4. Still can't upload photo directly. http://s1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee424/veryeasy4me/?action=view&current=Screenshot2011-03-24at72054PM.png

Some designer shooting glasses and ear protection would dress up the photo nicely.

RocketW19 - You had to die because the alternative was you were incapacitated but not dead. You then had the miserable memory of the thug shooting you, taking your favorite weapon, all your cherished loot in your domain.....and presumably leaving for "dead".....now, you survive to be tormented by Traumatic Stress Disorder for the rest of your breathing days solely because you thoughtless stuck the muzzle of your favorite home defense shotgun out into the darkness. Now, the next time you encounter said situation, you are handicapped....holding your new favorite shotgun in either your weak hand only or strong hand only (as your shoulder that you were shot in the first time around is useless !).....this time the story hopefully ends with the home owner taking down the bad guy because the good guy was experienced !

I believe you are under analyzing such situations. When space allows you should be standing off from the physical wall of the corner with sufficient distance that you would be illuminating what is on the other side of the corner in sectors, as you "pie" the sector for threats. When done in this manner, the side that you mount your weapon on is irrelevant. If you are in such a confined space that you must somehow stick the barrel out into the passageway or blindly around a corner to then "see".....you have the wrong weapon system for the task. A pistol with mounted light or a light separate from the pistol, will usually still allow you to stand off somewhat even in very close quarters. If you put something out around a corner its a free-for-all for someone on the other side to take it away from you and use it against you. The worst case goes something like this: The bad guy knows your coming through the house, he heard the action cycled on the weapon, he saw the flickering LED working its way towards him, he's trapped in your house and his only way out is to get by you. So, he waits around the corner whilst you stick the muzzle of your favorite shotgun blindly into the passageway or around said corner. He then grabs the muzzle of your weapon with his weak hand to push it up / down / away from himself, but before a good fair tug-of-war is allowed to occur, he then takes his pistol in his strong hand and points his muzzle at contact range at you. You then fall to floor dead, still grasping your favorite weapon with both hands. He then steps over you or around you to exit the house, perhaps with the loot he intended to take in the first place and maybe now, even your favorite shotgun as you will no longer have any need for it.

Thanks. I went the flickr route......but it's convoluted and clumsy. How is it others post directly in their thread without listing a URL ?

A convoluted way to post pictures - but here's the how to on the magazine removal.

I want to post photos to a thread but on Manage Attachments it says "you have uploaded the maximum of 1 file(s)"........I haven't uploaded any ! How do you change that parameter ? thanks.

Sorry for the repetition.....I'm in.

Can't upload photos....not enough posts. Send me PM.

For the Montefeltro you have to remove the magazine tube to remove the magazine spring. Like the M4 magazine tube removal. Secure the disassembled receiver in a padded vise. Make an index mark on the receiver / magazine tube with silver sharpie or similar marking device.....this will allow you to restore the magazine / receiver engagement exactly as it was assembled. This must be done because the barrel headspaces off the magazine tube and if it comes unscrewed the barrel will move forward out of battery. Use a heat gun for several minutes directed at the engagement of the magazine tube with the receiver - this will melt / release the factory Locktite. Rotate the magazine tube counterclockwise (right hand threads) with heat protective gloves. The magazine tube, magazine follower, and a magazine spring guide (for the muzzle end of the tube) will then be liberated. For re-assembly apply blue locktite to the last 1/2 of the magazine tube threads; this will make secondary magazine tube removal much easier, probably by hand alone.

It's been a long time since this information was posted......but, it was accurate and very helpful....removed my magazine tube by following your advice closely.....it's not easy, but it works. Thanks.
