    I called Mesa Tactical and placed a pre-order on Friday for the plain jane version (90030). I was told what the published price was but it would be less than that. How much less they did not commit to but I was told it would ship out the fist week of November (if all goes well). HTH

    Question for Carriercomp

    in Benelli

    Posted · Edited by i_wish

    Is there an "average" dot height to align with? Sandwiching a shim with longer screws into the sight base would work, but a consensus would be in order along with accepting that what co-witnesses on a trial gun, may not on another due to variables with choke, ammo, hold, Dot-maker revisions etc.

     

    At least the irons would be in the field of view though... providing the front were raised similarly.

     

    You are correct. What works with one trial gun might not work with what everybody else has. I guess absolute co-witness is ideal but I would settle with a lower 1/3 or upper 1/3 if I had to or heck just being able to see the sights through the glass if the red dot failed. I'd be using an aimpoint comp m2 but hope to use it with my other red dots. Just being able to see the BUIS through the optic would be a plus. IDK more people will hopfully weigh in. Stranger Danger also has a good suggestion.

    Would it be possible to create a shim that would raise the hieght of the Benelli M4 rear GRS to it's rail height? Could it match the countour of the receiver and original demensions of the current LPA sight? I would like to get "some" type of co-witness on my red dot sights. I have replaced the original rail with one of yours and I love it. I guess that an "extended" type rail that would screw into the existing GRS holes and then using a LPA picatinny rear sight would work but I would like to retain the existing GRS on the shotgun. What are your thoughts? What is the m4 community thoughts? I'll be the guinea pig.

    H&K Benelli M1 Super 90 Rear Sight Replacement

    My buddy has an HK marked Benelli M1S90 and his has the older style GRS. Mine isn't marked HK but has the LPA GRS on them. Are you trying to replace the complete GRS assembly? I don't know if there is a retro fit but there was a thread on another forum showing that the mounting holes don't line up.

    You would have to tap newer holes to switch from the older GRS to the LPA GRS. I have read many horror stories of how the older GRS suck. They would fall off and also in your case, the screws shear off.

    Here is the websight for the LPA USA distributor:

    you can also get them from brownells but I believe they are out of stock. You can also find the replacement parts at Brownell's too. Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

    M4 Help: Unable to remove Stock Retaining plate

    in Benelli

    Posted

    Hey there,

     

    Sorry for the Rookie questions ... but in an effort to install a single point sling plate ... I was in the process to removing the stock (One piece) M4 stock ...

     

    I was able to remove both the Recoil pad and the stock retaining nut ... but am unable to remove (Much reach) the stock retaining plate ..

     

    Any suggestions ?? I tried to pull it off with my fingers / To use a rubber mallet to vibrate it off. I was hoping to do as little damage as possible.

     

    Thank you for your time and insight,

    Or

     

    Not quite sure of what you are trying to put on but here are some threads on how to remove the stock:

    I believe what you call the stock retainin plate is the piece of metal that the sling loops through? If that is what you mean, then you don't need to take that off. I think it has locktite on it or some other thread locker (been there, done that). Just take the barrel off, remove the bolt and carrier, pop the pin that holds the trigger housing and then twist the stock off. HTH

    Aluminum vs. Stainless Steel Follower?

    in Benelli

    Posted

    I too wondered about this. I got the aluminum one just because I did not want to take a chance on excessive wear. I don't have any proof that it would cause excessive wear but I figured aluminum is softer that steel and replacing the follower if/when it wears out is cheaper than replacing the mag tube. JMHO.

    best USA mag extension tube and sling for M4 ?

    eta sling option

    After doing my research and based on feedback from this and other fourms, I chose the Ti tube from Carriercomp. There are others but I was looking for lightweight and strong enough not to be disabled by a dent or wrinkle in the tube. "Best" is subjective. Find out what you want/need. Then spec all the other tubes that are out there for the M4 and you decide. This is just my opinion. :D YMMV

     

    As for the sling, I originally went with this for my M1S90: spectergear.com/benelli_cqb_sling.htm

    I liked it so I got another for my M4.
