thanks xamoel! i'm actually quite nervous... the whole thing came apart since i wasn't able to screw the magazine cap back on immediately after, hence i had to assemble the m4 one piece at a time... think i did a fairly decent job, but i'd rather that someone who's more familiar with it disassemble and assemble it again before i fire it.
-
don't think so. i'll check on the pricing and decide on whether i'm selling it.

from the philippines. i twisted the mag cap, used improvised pliers to squeeze and pull out that cap that otherwise holds the spring in place, took out the limiter, put the spring back in and screwed the mag cap back on. not sure if it was accidental, but another m4 owner here has the same.
-
benelli m4, of course. i have the one with the retractable stock, if that helps.
my unit is sraight from the box, took that thingy out from the magazine tube.
-
took out the limiter of my M4 myself... did i do it right?
here's what i took out:

thanks for the concern zee. i don't have live ammo yet, as i'm waiting for the ammo i ordered to arrive. i'm only playing with dummy shells while trying to get accustomed to the m4. you know how it is with handguns and how you rack the slide for chamber check, then you pull the trigger? well, i dunno if you're supposed to pull the trigger in those cases but i do, O.C.D. i guess. i have the same tendency with the m4 whenever i rack it or press the bolt release......

very nice!! keep it coming, thanks for initiating hookster
-
well, yeeeaaaah... it'll save us a lot of time though! LOL
-
ummm... before? hahaha! thanks for the replies. there's a gun ban now where i'm from, just got the m4 last friday. although i've fired a few, i'ts my first shotgun and i wanna practice with it at home (handling, maneuvering, loading and unloading etc.). i'm getting the hang of it, but once in the while i release the bolt freely or fire it after racking without my dummy shell. i'll get used to it soon, just hope that my learning curve isn't taking it's toll on the m4. hope this explains some things....
-
so, how about some pics for posterity??
-
bro are you serious?! if you're just gonna drop it, just give it to me!!
-
Major thread fail.
what do you mean?
anyway, just to confirm what i've read so far, letting the bolt slam each time when i rack it without any type of shell (ammo or dummy) or dry-firing it WILL NOT HARM THE M4?
i was told to at least guide the bolt lever when i press the bolt release button (not sure if that's what you call it) so it doesn't slam.

great! thanks hookster!

Hi RML,
No Worries! If you check out page 51 of the USMC M1014 (M4) manual, you'll see they dry fire the weapon two times after normal re-assembly as part of the standard function check. If you don't have the USMC manual here you go:
http://www.farrarsodfarm.com/nelli/USMC_M1014.pdf
I printed the whole thing and put it in a 3-ring binder for easy reference.
Later,
Hookster
so unless i dry-fire it regularly for a significant number of times, i shouldn't worry?
-
Should not have any adverse effects on the M4 or any assault weapon. Not a good ID to dry fire any weapon other than the Suomi M31. The firing pin is mechanically fastened to the Bolt Head.
I know, but i have dry fired it on a couple of occasions (about 15 times but who's counting).... so how do i know if i've damaged them in any way?
-
just got my M4 last night...... wow.
fired around 10 birdshots just for function check, works perfectly.
a few questions though, since this is my first SG:
1. you're not supposed to keep racking the bolt and letting it slide freely (or pressing the stop when the bolt is open) without a shell inside right? i may have forgotten to softly release the bolt after racking, or guiding the bolt action after pressing the stop, in a few cases.... mainly last night when i was tinkering with it. i know the M4 is a robust piece of equipment and was designed using usmc specs hence, it shouldn't be that sensitive.... but should i be worried about destroying any part that MIGHT be sensitive?
2. i've also dry-fired it a couple of times without my dummy shell... is that a problem?
i'm kinda used to glocks, so i feel i've to be a little more cautious with the M4 at least til i get really proficient with it.
-
thanks needncash, i'll be sure to check on it.
-
good for me, 922r doesn't apply to my country.... thanks hookster!
-
wouldn't collapsing the stock fully (or midway) be enough for your wife?
my wifey "okayed" the purchase since i told her she'd be able to handle it since it's retractable.
-
M1014, pardon my ignorance, what model is that and what mods/accessories did you do/install? Bada$$....
-
Cooooooooooooooool M4 cchurchi.... That's exactly how I'd want my M4 to look.... I'll be getting it in a couple of weeks, hopefully no delays.
-
hey thanks! will check out the front sights and lube it properly. when you say mag-tube, you mean the mag extension? what's the spring for?
by the way, mine comes with the retractable stock already.
-
my m4 will be arriving in about 2 weeks. is there anything i should be on the lookout for in terms of possible defects? thanks!
M4 Collapsible stock sling mounting

so, any new developments? is it a good idea to install the sling on the slot on the c-stock? i have no idea where i can get the push button swivel thing in my country.
