no surprise there...

fantastic- thank you very much !

For a shotgun in home defense? I was going to do the 8mm Triji RMR, but doing an Eotech 552 with 65MOA circle with quadrant ticks with 1 MOA aiming dot.
Either way, want easy to see for fast aquisition- especially if youre getting older.

PMs sent to you
-
i was told by Benelli on the phone that a dealer has to order spare parts, or from Brownells. Dealers tell me anything from Benelli takes forever to come in(my local dealer dropped them becasue of this); Brownells does not show firing pin, firing pin spring, etc.

The swivel is for the M1014, not the M4. That is why it doesnt seemt to fit (was told this by Mesa at the time.)
To install on the M4, yes- my inlaw, the process engineer, drill pressed the metal insert of the handle and the handle to widen it to the M1014 size.
Its been working like a charm 2+ years with no issues.

Hey BasketRobbins, HK here is selling the collapsible M4 c-stocks for a great price. hit him up for one, and YES he's the guy from Upland..
hehehe-if you look on the map, Upland is about a 20-30 minute drive from Proforce Law Enforcement's store
. Months ago, he wouldn't comment on the meaning of that and how he has all of these C-stocks . Don't bother-Proforce says they don't have them.(Proforce is the place you can get the factory Benelli extension tube for about $72 while they're $150+ on Gunbroker.)
Anyway, Skeeter- what rail is that? B&T?
What are you using for the magazine? Is it the stock (ie imported) magazine with a USA parkerized extension?
-
I wont mount more than a light but dont want to spend 300 on that huge surefire rail.
Its $230 shipped free from some sites.

question-
for in home (narrow halls, small distances, etc) for M4-
single or double point sling?
-
My tube arrived- but i didnt get the snap ring plyers yet. Ill make sure i have bar-b-q gloves on or something after i heat the tube with the heatgun!
-
Skeeter- dont you have a c-stock? are you using a sling?
-
Thanks for the info guys, this helps a lot. It explains why the #7.5 shot was working better than the #8, the #7.5 was 3.25 drams and the #8 was 2.75. Unfortunately not all bird shot ammo boxes mention the dram numbers. I've got about 2-300 rounds through it so far, but I'm going to man up and take everything apart to lube it up. I'm used to ARs, so taking this apart is going to be a new experience, something that I was putting off.
not too difficult- i'm getting faster at it. the tricky part is that pin holding the trigger assembly. they told me on here that newer ones are tight until they are undone a few times- dont slip & scratch your gun trying to push it in!
-
i find any of the stuff you get at walmart in the value packs works just fine... the winchester or federal
in fact in like 500+ rounds i think i've only had 2 occurances with it not cycling.
agreed- i shot off a bunch yesterday - but got bored on the trap field making confetti of the torso target taped onto the metal patterning board (you cant use the rifle range itself if anyone else is there at our club
) -
Mesa Tactical has one that you mount at the pistol grip. It only works for the collapsible stock.
yep-thats the one I said I saw at TSG.
I was wondering what could attach to the hole on the rear of the stock itself-any kind of swivel? There already is a slot for a belt-type of sling attachement.
-
There is a slot on the rear, and also a hole. Is that a standard size hole for something like a pushbutton QD swivel, or something else?
I saw at TSG a swivel that goes in the pistol grip, for use with collapsible stocks.
But I just wanted to know the options available- especially if I wanted a VTAC sling thats adjustable on the fly- that would be good depending on the stock position- but was just wondering about attachements options
(yes, there is a slot on the stock, but was wondering what the hole was for there for.)
-
my tube arrived this week- looks great!! ( and it wasnt me calling
Looking forward to a bolt!
Would really like a forearm rail!
Semper Fi, Kip- my son deployed 2 weeks ago.

Looks nice! Can't wait!

I hadnt gone to shoot it yet being I'm still in the preliminary stage of joining the gun club and had no place to go- so i saw a NRA Basic Shotgun course about an hour away and figured that would be a good place to fire the first shot (being i havent picked up a shotgun for over 10 years.)
Was a pretty basic course, like it says- at least if I have to use the M4 in the house, I have a certficate for showing Mr. DA that at least I had an interest in using it safely and responsibly (if that means anything )
It was great shooting this thing- I used the c-stock at the mid-point which is where it felt best.
This will get addiciting
.Anyway, here's my target at 25 yards.
I did (11) slugs and (12) 00 Buck through the factory choke.
The 5 on the left ("his" right) were trying the rapid fire of 5 slugs while standing- got to get used to that recovery.
-
.. having a proper tool for removing pins rather than using a critical part designed to punch primers probably is not going to slow you down any. I was just throwing out alternatives.
excellent idea. will do.
-
Here she is- all C-stocked and ready for my titanium tube and a USA rail ( I have the Brownell follower, but will wait to install that when I do the mag.)
IS Kip coming out with a rail & bolt handle?
again- thanks for the leads on the C-stock and the M4.
-
It'll get easier in time. They're stiff when new.
thanks SD- thats the kind of answer I was looking for.
agm- the manual SAYS to use the firing pin- but the associated photo for that shows using the bolt handle.
-
nevermind- got it. i just some thing else and it popped through.
simple question though. was just looking to make sure all ok before i break something.
-
read owners manual
well gee- what do you think i'm going by?
Is this the way the axel bush looks on yours?
I pushed on it with the firing pin and it doesnt seem to move.
also, the manual SAYS to push with the firing pin (which I hope is still true now)- but the photo shows the bolt handle being used.)
so hows that for the manual?
I dont want to break anything.
it just looks to me like its to big to push in through that hole.
or is it?
-
Hi
1) Axel Bush
It looks like the head of a rivet- pushing on it with the firing pin like the manual says doesnt do much as it looks like the head is bigger than the hole it needs to go through.
Is this to keep us from removing the trigger group?
2) I also cant see how to remove the locking head pin; if you have any pointers.
Brownell parts question for M4 (follower, springs, etc)
in Benelli

Is item 76 the follower with red disk? All it says is "follower pin", but it clearly is not a pin in the diagram, and costs more than all other "pins".
also- what spare parts do you keep around, for when parts are no longer available?
