If I were you I would begin scanning the Classified ads for a "Benelli for Sale"......starting Sunday !

Not everyone's forefinger fits easily or safely into the 12 gauge lane to push the cartridge stop lever. Over the life of the gun cycling, the use of the bolt to extract / eject the unfired cartridges versus the wear / tear on the extractor is negligible. Purists would argue that you don't risk cycling "live rounds" to empty your weapon. I would argue if you can't use the bolt handle to safely unload your weapon, perhaps you shouldn't be using the bolt handle to begin with. (never end a sentence in a preposition).

The black cartridge is a Winchester PDX1 2-3/4" loaded with 1 oz. rifled slug and 3 #00 buck shot pellets The red cartridge is a Federal Premium 2-3/4" 1 oz. copper hollow point sabot slug. Hey, what about the grip ?

As always, Thanks!

Some more M4 eye candy......how about a Gear Sector vertical grip to hang on to the shorty ? http://s1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee424/veryeasy4me/?action=view&current=Screenshot2011-05-11at92955PM.png Maybe someone will post the photos? Stranger ?

Just received my GG&G bolt release pad.......last week. Ordered in January! Nicely finished.

Over the top. Very sporty.

All the photos you need of the different handles.

I have put Kip's bolt handle on my M4 and the other 3 new handles are in the parts box. Very nice proportions, titanium finish is perfect and engineered properly. Hopefully, I am on the list for one of the black ones !

They fit together just fine......see photos. http://www.benelliusa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25111&page=8

thanks for your efforts. I just wanted to illustrate the relative sizes installed.

thank you sir. didn't like the other photo ?

Maybe KB or Stranger Danger will properly upload the photos. Comparison of charging handles for the M4. Just received my new Kip handle it's real nice......tight fit and looks great. http://s1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee424/veryeasy4me/?action=view&current=Screenshot2011-04-06at71954PM.png http://s1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee424/veryeasy4me/?action=view&current=Screenshot2011-04-06at71954PM.png

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.
