  1. What kind of groups are you getting at 25 yards and at 50 yards?

     

    I would spend some time at the range trying different brands of rifled slugs and see which ones give the best groups with your current barrel. Like GoBow said, your current setup should be fine at 25 yards.

     

    Obviously, a rifled barrel with sabot slugs will be way more accurate, but also more expensive. This combo should give you tight groups at 100 yards easily. Keep in mind if you trade your current barrel for a rifled barrel, you will not be able to shoot normal shot loads anymore. The rifling ruins the pattern.

     

    The best solution would be to add a rifled barrel and scope for deer and keep your smooth barrel for other uses.

  2. Don, don't worry, I had the same issues when my M4 was new. Now that it's broken in, my M4 cycles everything flawlessly, including 1 oz/1200fps light target loads. Your gun may take a little longer to break in than your dad's - every gun is different.

     

    Mine also has the "peening" around the ejection port. This just means your gun isn't a safe queen.

     

    btw, I think it is very cool that both you and your Dad have M4s!! Pictures?

  3. I have had good luck with both M Pro7 and rem oil here in TX at temps around freezing, but have not used either at extreme cold temps.

     

    mysbeII, what problems did you have with rem oil at 10-15 below?

  4. The screw can loosen under normal shooting conditions as I have experienced (due to a cost-concious design approach) and it does not seem unreasonable to use non-permanent loctite.

     

    I had trouble with the screw and stock working loose as well. After the second time, I used blue loctite to secure the screw.

     

    Evidently that was a mistake (I haven't tried removing it yet), but it was the only way I could get the screw to stay secure.
