Where's the bayonet ?

Might just be me but those 2 rd extensions are kind of cheesy on a $1,600 + shotgun. Spend a few extra $ !!! Why not get the one piece 7+1 rd magazine tube like the military ?

I would have to think in a combat situation the call to "Fix Bayonets !" would be the moment you know this day is going to really suck Only thing I don't like about my M4 so far is it's not very reliable shooting trap loads...Might just be "that" particular 2 boxes of shells. I had it in a ammo box since the eary 1990's if that makes any difference.

I got this choke tube for my M4 from Brownells -> http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/sid=53375/pid=27550/sku/Tactical_Breecher_Choke_fits_Beretta_Benelli Perfect for rifled slugs or 00 Buckshot.

I was told by the previous owner that my M4 had a modified choke. When I took it out I could not find any marks on it with a "modified" ID ? I do know that you really do not want to fire rifled slugs through a modified choke. The Carlsons breecher choke is a Improved Cylinder choke which is more suitable for slugs. In any case if I ever need to blow a door lock from point blank range I have the right choke now

For anyone interested I just put the same one on my desert camo M4 and it fit perfectly. Except I paid $49 + shipping from Brownells

I suppose OEM parts are best ....But why not just cut a piece of small PVC pipe or a wooden dowel rod to the length you need ? Especially since it will be temporary for hunting season. In the end you will want to have shotguns purpose specific like most tools

Then this won't make you feel any better I got my used but in like new condition desert camo M4 about two weeks before Christmas for $600. Guy was laid off and desperate for cash.

I looked the part up at Numrich Gun Parts http://www.e-gunparts.com/product.asp?chrProductSKU=1089340&CatID=10315&mySort=1 and mine is not like the one pictured at all. Mine is not split or does it have snap ring holes. It is made one piece with the tube. I did have a spare one from a Remington 870 so I tried it out and Bingo it fit perfect !! So at least I don't have to worry about the spring flying out every time I remove the barrel now. Strange Benelli would change the design and make it one piece ?

Sorry about posting this way but only way I could post a link.

Thanks for your help M4JOHN but I just learned that my M4 is not the same.

Still have it I have the desert camo M4 if it makes a difference ? The original magazine tube on my M4 is two pieces. A little less than half way into the top piece (the half painted desert camo) is the spring stop/plug. Not sure how other M4's are but that spring stop is made one piece with the top half and it ain't comming out When I get home I will take some pics.

The original one is threaded in I think ?. But there are no threads inside the new one piece tube. Do I just drive it out of the old extension ? OK just finished reinspecting the original Faux magazine tube extension that has the spring block in it. That thing looks to be made 1 piece with the screw on magazine extension. It (the spring block) ain't / can't come out.... at least not in one piece. Guess I'm wondering what others here are using to hold the spring in on one piece replacment magazine tubes? Or did I buy from the only manufacturer who does not include a spring stop/plug
