My new collapsible stock has ceased to collapse since my last visit to the range (first with the stock). The button still depresses and returns to normal at release but, the stock will oly move right to left (about 90 degrees to the left and 45 degrees to the right when viewed from the breech end of the weapon). It will not move up and down the recoil tube. Anyone got any ideas what I did?
Edited: Sloppy proof read - incorrect spelling of collapsible in the title ... sorry.

OK.
Could someone knowlegable eliminate the ones who;
- Won't sell direct
- Sell Junk
- Aren't US made
...or is this favoritism? As a "newb" what I DON'T want is to have to navigate these waters with a "cheat sheet" that makes accessorizing feel like "Pin the Tail on the Donkey".
This sticky might be a good idea for some people, but hopefully it won't smear every item specific inquiry people make.
I mostly visit to silently observe and read real reviews, rarely posting since I'm learning. It would suck to have it dumbed down to a list of things most people avoided at some point, and have to glean from that list what really impressed the masses long term.
I don't think that such a sticky can exist. If you have "silently observed" this forum, you realize that there is no definitive choice for a particular component. There are plenty of personal opinions and experiences, but no unanimous agreement re: what is the "best" (e.g. the forum is filled with debate over extension vs. full length magazine tubes; what bolt release is the best, what bolt handle is the best, etc).
My intent was to compile a list of all manufacturers in one thread so that those who have a mind of their own, can research an item and temper that with real life experience from here in the forum and other boards.
I do think adding whether the part was made in the USA is a good idea for those that obsess about big brother kicking down the door for 922r compliance checks.
In short, if this thread can be improved using any other objective information (other manufacturers, product overlooked for existing manufacturers, manufacturers not listed correctly as "Made in USA", etc.), I will edit post #1 in an effort to keep the thread relevant over time.

H.Bowman - Thanks for the kind words.
I will update the first post as I see people comment below.

Below is a list of manufacturers, their websites (so as to not show favoritism to a particular vendor; even though many do not sell direct) and a list of the products they produce. While this list is probably far from comprehensive, this should give a new owner a jumping off point to start "pimpin' out" their M4. Please add any vendors I missed.

Skeeter, What is the cost of the B&T rail system? Where did you get yours?

Ordered my "Tactical Choke" today. Can't wait to test it out.
FYI, Trulock gives a 5% discount to NRA members when you purchase direct.

GretzFan - Do you still have a stock for sale? What are the payment terms?

Just purchased M4 (11707) from East Coast Sales (PA) for $1450, Paid with credit for 0% fee and because they are an authorized dealer you are eligible for the $200 rebate (through July 31st). My shipping was $30 but included one other long gun and a pistol.
eastcoastgunsales.com ask for Justin McElheny.

Sorry to bring this thread back on topic ...
Are there any more stocks for sale? If so, what are the payment terms?
________

Are these a Trulock direct item or is there some place cheaper to find them?
________

Does anyone have any experience with (or opinions on) Trulock's Tactical / Breeching choke? I'm too new to add a direct link but the website is trulockchokes.com.

Too bad, I am not a re-loader ... I would love to see first hand what the recoil on this monster would be like.

KB Fab, The total cost was $85.53 ($72.99 + $12.54 for FedEx 2-Day shipping). I ordered the part on 5/24, I received a tracking number on 5/25 and I received the package on 5/26.
I was skeptical about how this was going to turn out , but I have to say that it all turned out well. I have not installed it yet, but will provide feedback once I do.

Just thought I would spread the "wealth". Ordered and received a Benelli M4 +2 magazine extension (part# 81043P) from the following website for $72.99:
ProForceOnline.com (My new status does not allow me to post a direct link ... sorry)
The part arrived in factory packaging and was easily $80 cheaper than what I was finding on GunBroker for the same part. They are currently showing 21 in stock.

How does the benelli m4 rebate work? 1450 a good price?

Purchased the gun at the end of May for $1450 before rebate. +1 on the authorized dealer comment (lots of deals on GunBroker, but need the authorized dealer to get the rebate).
