Ok that's good to hear. I was worried that 18" is too short, but it looks like it's still doable. I was considering throwing an EOTech on there since it has the 6 MOA ring and sight it in for 25 yards with slug rounds. It would take care of any speed and loss of iron site alignment issues. It would also complete my "inappropriate gun for the job" look.

I recently bought an M4 because I have a love for all things tactical, which often means shorter barrel, 18" in this case. Some friends invited me to go skeet/trap shooting with them, for which I put the number 5 cylinder choke in since it's mentioned its best for skeet. I got 4 out of 25 on the first round, 13 out of 25 on the next. Of those 13, I probably only got 4 dead on so they exploded, only deflecting or grazing the rest. For this particular barrel length on this type of moving target, probably 15-25 yards out (and further the longer I take to shoot), is the 5 cylinder really the best? Should I go with a 4 or even a 3? Thanks.

Mine came with a number 3 choke in it, which works various shot, but if you want to do slugs, you should get a number 5 cylinder instead. I've heard the number 3 will wear out after ~100 slug rounds through it.
