Broken Legend

One thing about loading the M4: If you're a novice, you're going to get your thumb caught in the Carrier or Shell Lifter. If you're very familiar with it, you kind of get muscle memory when loading it so the forks of the carrier don't get hung up on the wrinkles on the back of your thumb.

In most cases, oil it enough that its almost dripping. With that type of high brass ammo that should work. If not, then You may need to send it to Benelli for repair.

Hmm. Bacon is to Muslim terrorists as garlic is to vampires. I like it! Just make sure that it's real bacon bits and not the fake stuff or you'll just end up with a well fed Muslim terrorist with some 00 buck holes in him.

By the way, do you recommend the 6.5 MOA dot or the 3.25 MOA ?

You convinced me, I'm in for 1. I just happen to already own the Trijicon RMR. Might have to buy another RMR though, my pistol likes it where it is. You could probably sell the RMR on your website and put it up as a package deal.

Don't forget lubrication. Spray it a bit before taking it out. It should almost be dripping. Since it's a gas system the weak shoulder shouldn't come into it much, but I'm sure it can affect it. Broken Legend

Well I'll be snookered! I didn't know that the Benelli M4 came in a 20" version. You can tell from where the barrel brace is (or whatever that hoop is called). On mine the cap is almost flush with the muzzle.

I saw one here but it was a custom job.

Since a super quality trigger isn't essential for a shotgun, and Benelli's trigger on the M4 is pretty good, I'm thinking about just paying the $200 tax stamp and registering it for the ability to use a short barreled shotgun. I don't have a short barrel for the M4, and I don't plan to get one, but that $200 tax stamp would exempt me from the 922r nonsense. It would be like "just in case" insurance if you wanted to upgrade a few pieces of the gun and not have to buy a handguard, trigger group, or hammer that I don't want/need. And if I ever got the hankering for a shorty M4, I just have it shipped to me and slap it on.

Bello is right, it's that way so you can top off the magazine while the next zombies come around the corner.

Made in Turkey, it is a gas piston system.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]895[/ATTACH] http://www.hatsan.com.tr/new_escort_mpa.asp I've got a Benelli M4, but this caught my eye the other day. Crazy cheap too. http://www.proshootersupply.com/escort-home-defense-semiauto-shotgun-gauge-inch-chamber-p-25057.html Has anyone dealt with this shotgun before? At a little over $400 I'm a skeptic that it will be as reliable or have as good quality, but hopefull.

For the Benelli M4: If I was wanting one, I guess with all that fancy gear between 1800 low and 2200 high. Remember that everyone's preferences on accessories are different and might not be worth the purchase price to others. I am not an expert and probably have no idea what I'm talking about.

I think I'll wait for the whole trigger assembly to come out. Can't wait to try an upgraded trigger for the Benelli M4, not that the original was bad in any way, but a company that only makes trigger groups sound like they know what they're doing if they're still in business.

I'd like to buy the field stock off of you if you're willing and the price is good enough.

Yah, when they made up the stupid laws having to do with $200 tax stamps, they wanted to price it out of existence. The price for a shotgun back then was $10. Today that would be like buying a $300 short barreled shotgun and having to pay $6000 in a tax - every time it was transferred. They wanted to include pistols into the legislation, but little old ladies with pistols revolted and forced them to only make it apply to short barreled rifles, short barreled shotguns, and fully automatic weapons. Which is kinda funny since the whole legislation was about an assassination attempt made with a handgun by a crazy person who "blamed FDR and all rich people and capitalists for his chronic stomach pain." Which is stupid and crazy since FDR was nearly a socialist. Ugh, I hate how short barreled rifles and shotguns were just tacked on the end of that law for no reason. Kinda pisses me off. Stoopid politicians!

Your shotgun needs to be registered as a short barreled shotgun for you to put it on. I think that you would need to store that part at a separate location until your paperwork comes in.

I've always wondered, does the 14" barrel from Benelli have chokes? or is it just smooth?

I eyeballed mine and it's about 2.5" and close to 2" without the bolt handle. If you took off the bolt handle and the foregrip, you should be able to fit it into a 1.75" wide area. Note that these measurements aren't precise, I used a ruler, not a set of calipers.

There's a do-it-yourself liquid hydroprint kit that you can use to put on your own pattern if you don't want to send it off to be done. Here's a guy using it. Pretty hokey until you get to the amazing job it does on the items he camo'ed. Part 1: Part 2: He says that http://www.timbersedgecamo.com have the kits for sale. You could also have it done at one of the many professional places like this one: http://www.liquidconceptsus.com

One really nice thing about the camo version is that it won't get as hot as the black version. Shooting during summer heat is awful for any black gun. In winter it doesn't stand out from snow that bad either. But that didn't stop me from buying a black M4.

Just make sure you have the 5.5mm wrench to unscrew the nut in the front sight. If you don't you'll scratch it up something awful and make it very shiny like mine instead of matching your gun.

I had a great time shooting the clays on Saturday. There was a group of 5 of us shooting different shotguns. Mine was the only semi-auto, the rest were pumps and one break open single barrel shotgun for the kid with a smaller caliber. We had one throw the clay with the thrower while we took turns trying to hit it. At first I stunk, then I tried one of the pump shotguns (first time ever with a pump shotgun for me) with a bead at the front. I hit a few with it and went back to my M4. I was able to keep the sight picture while swinging the shotgun and kept both eyes open to find the target and the clays began to break. I gained some confidence and I began to break more targets than I thought was possible for me. Before I would get 1 in about 10. Saturday after I got my rhythm down, I was able to hit about 7 in 10. I've got a feeling that I could make it more with some practice. Thanks for all the great advice from you guys. With your help it was finally able to "click" for me.
