    Who uses their benelli for home defence?

    in Benelli

    Posted

    No guns? That really sucks. You guys are gonna be at the mercy of your government when the civil unrest storm reaches you guys. Good luck.

     

    I have several guns, my home defense bedside gun is my Benelli M4. It's setup with a surefire x400, sidearmor 6 shot side saddle, meprolight night sights, kips full length tube, collapsible stock. I'm thinking about getting the surefire fore end and a Magpul fore grip. I prefer Federal OO Buck 9 pellet for home defense.

    C-Stocks Back in Stock?

    So is this the end of those 600 dollar stocks and 200 dollar tubes then?

     

    Not the end of the 200 dollar tubes. Kip's tube is worth every penny of $200. Not only is it worth it for the tube, but you're supporting Kip and his company which is in turn supporting us.

     

    I've ordered from Botach once and haven't had a problem but I've heard some horror stories. I've also ordered from HK and he's a good guy and he'll deliver.

     

    Just my opinion but anybody that chooses the Mesa stock over a C stock is crazy. Not saying the Mesa is a bad stock, it's not, but it doesn't offer what the C stock does.

    FFT forearm / Forend $50 and Almost Ready !

    Here is a Pic & Quote from FFT’s website….

     

    “Here is a picture we took of the first batch of forends that came out. For fun, we tested the first run with a high grade glass-filled nylon. We are not going to use this material in our final run for various reasons, but we thought we’d share the picture anyway. The flash really brings out the texture and coloring of the material, making the forends look like they are a cloudy-yellow color. That’s just the flash, but they do have a cloudy-dark grey/black coloring. Note that the barrel even takes on a gold or yellow hue. But again, we are not using this material, we just sampled it for consideration.”

     

    “Just in case you were wondering why the Benelli used in this picture does not have magazine modifications, or any other modifications – this is one of our stock guns for R & D purposes – we don’t play with this one in the field…”

    Just wondering why nobody considered turning the flash off to make better pictures. :)

    Who makes the best (insert product here) for the Benelli M4?

    Who makes the best full length US mag tube for a Benelli M4?

    carriercomp. Superior machining, fit and finish.

     

    How about US followers?

    carriercomp's offering will be the better of the options. The Brownells unit isn't marked USA made. carriercomp's is cheaper too.

     

    Side saddles?

    Sidearmor. Be it their full rail system or their shell carrier/top rail combo. The ball bearing detent design that retains the shells is better than the tacstar and mesa unit I've used. The Tacstar is absolute garbage.

     

    Sling attachments?

    Slings? I like the Vickers VCAS padded sling. The Benelli M4 is quite heavy, so padding is a good thing on lengthy hikes.

     

    Charging handles?

    carriercomp's, FFT's 1/2" offering and Design Concepts are the only ones I'd consider. Otherwise, I'd stick with stock. They're the only ones that are the same or less weight than the stock unit. Given that Design Concepts are pretty rare these days, I'd wait it out for carriercomp's.

     

    Bolt release buttons?

    GG&G for sure. No plastic parts. Some offerings are okay if you can drill and tap your existing unit, but that is beyond the means of 95% of us. Taking it to the gunsmith will add another 50 bucks on top of your purchase price, so you might as well just get the GG&G.

     

    What he said.

     

    You can't go wrong with carriercomp.

    922(r) compliance...Affordable and Simple

    in Benelli

    Posted

    It's a good thing california has so many great gun laws, it really seems to have helped the crime rate.... ;)

     

    My M4 isn't 922r compliant and it's a much deadlier weapon because of it.

     

    Having too many foreign parts makes my M4 much harder to control, by this I don't mean it's function, it's actually easier to control with that C stock. What I mean is, it wants to kill and it cries "hold me back, hold me back!"

     

    PLEASE help me to make my gun 922r compliant! I feel like I'm harboring a fugitive! Please help me make my gun safe to myself and the wonderful public around it.

     

    I remember clicking a link somewhere on this board that sent me to a site that had US made foregrips that looked like the OEM grips but I can't find that link and I don't remember what the site was. Does anybody know the link?

    I'd be more worried about a trigger pack failure or bolt breakage. Most of these dedicated piston op uppers remove parts from the weapon. Example. No gas key to shake loose.

     

    As with all weapons, you should start to assemble a replacement parts kit. Pins, detents, springs, proprietary parts, bolt carrier group, trigger pack. Throw in a few basic tools, oil and patches. Maybe a boresnake.

     

    If you're fighting the hoards of cannibals to the level that you're wearing out guns, you might want to go another direction.

     

    The failzero is a great choice though. I'd like to have it done to my MRP. I may have to do nP3 + instead though. I have a out a 1000 rounds on the MRP since last cleaning it. Without fouling being blown into the upper, it stays lubricated. The bolt is still oiled. It would have been burned off or carbonized by now in a gas op sys.

     

    Still accurate too. I was hitting a real estate sign at 450 yards off hand in the wind yesterday with green tip SS109.

     

    Guess you didn't get killed? You do the smart thing and hide it? ;)

     

    Hahaha. I told her I got a "rifle" and then yes, I hid it. She still hasn't seen it. So she's been fine so far.

     

    I'm planning on shooting the Ruger tomorrow. So far I only got to field strip it and give it a good wipe down and clean that factory debri from the barrel. I'm gonna have to let the smoke settle before I start ordering back up parts. Especially since I already ordered some goodies from Magpul, new stock, 5 more mags, sling, sling mounts, rail covers... and a trijicon RMR LED 8 MOA red dot to sit atop my trijicon acog for those close quarters zombies.

    I guess I could misplace a part for any gun during cleaning. I could break a part for any gun and I could wear out a part on any gun from too much use or from poor maintenance perhaps.

     

    If I were to buy replacement parts to have around for the Ruger what would you guys suggest? I want some back up parts for those parts that experience the most wear and tear and have the highest potential for breaking.

    Well, after MUCH MUCH thought I decided on the Ruger and I brought the thing home today. Not only that but I made the mistake of browsing the ACOG counter and brought one of those home too...... Oh and I stocked up I guess you can say on ammo... 4000 rounds. I'm still alive right now but that's because the wife doesn't come home until around 7 central time.
