    Hey, hadn't been on here in awhile but saw a ton of people were visiting our site from here so figured I'd check in to see what was going on. Just to clarify a couple things, we're not rethreading for chokes, the Benelli barrel is too thin to do that well. Were relocating items from the choked section of the barrel. If you look at the M4 barrel you can see how it flares out just prior to the choke tube, this is done to allow enough room to thread for the choke tubes.

     

    We've built all the needed tools to do the conversion right, and as long as we're doing several at a time it can be done quite reasonably (around $250-300). If you'd like to pay more, feel free to do so, we won't stop ya :p

     

    As far as not sending the barrels back until we get a copy of the ATF paperwork, you guys are right, it isn't required legally. The reason we require it is because we keep the copy of the form attached to the invoice for our records. The ATF has been watching us businesses that manufacture parts and modify parts a lot more closely in the past couple years (which is ironic since we don't fall under their jurisdiction), so we have copies of the forms for every NFA item that leaves here so we can document on our end that the part was for a legally-owned NFA item and that we're not making 'sawed-offs' for 'da homies' :D We do a lot of NFA barrel and component work on various guns, so obviously we want to make sure our stuff isn't falling into the wrong hands either or is being put together in an illegal manner by someone who just doesn't know better. For every NFA barrel we do, we probably fix two barrels that some knucklehead cut too short

     

    We are still waiting on a couple more M4 barrels to come in before we tool up for this next batch of conversions, so if you need to get yours done, let us know ASAP so we can get it added to the list.

     

    Also, we got a fresh batch of our KA-1212BR breaching attachments finished up. We can install one on your M4 barrel after the converting it to 14" for about $140 additional (includes the part and installation)

     

    Joey,

     

    Thanks for all of the clarifications - I was in a real bad cell phone reception area that day, so I was not able to get 100% percent of our conversation.

     

    Do you have any pictures of the breaching attachment?

     

    Man, I can wait until my dealer receives my M4 - the excitement is killing me...

    How are you going to get anything started without the serial number of an M4 you say you don't own yet??:confused:

     

    Once the out of state dealer ships my M4, he will send me the serial number. From there I will have to do the following:

     

    -Passport Photos

    -Fill out the Form 1 application

    -Fill out the Certification of Compliance

    -Make an appointment with Chief of Police for finger prints cards

     

    Once I have received my M4 verify the serial number, complete my appointment with the Chief of Police, make copies of everything, and send out the forms and Uncle Sugars $200 ck.

     

    There are lots of things I can do prior to the M4 arriving - I'm a planner!:D

    That's a heck of a lot better than I had expected honestly. Do yourself a favor and order Kip's shorty tube while you're at it.

     

    Did he mention how long the work takes to complete?

     

    Did he mention what is done about the choke?

     

    Sounds like to me that the BBL work will be completed long before the ATF F-1 approvals have been completed.

     

    Regarding the choke, Joey said that the 14" bbl will have the same matching specs as the 18.5" bbl - crowned and all of needed machine work to make them identical.

    Ok, so this is what I have so far:

     

    Joey from King Armory ( http://www.kingarmory.com/ ) 520-450-0678 called me today and we discussed what is needed to SBS a Benelli M4 - by the way Joey was very helpful and explained everything in detail.

     

    - Send in factory BBL with your info and work to be done

    - Cut, bbl from 18.5" to 14"

    - Relocate from site and other parts - re-attach weld / soldering etc

    - Machine BBL to accept Benelli choke tubes - and all of the special work that is needed.

    - Re-coat BBL

    - Laser engrave BBL for NFA Form-1 information

     

    BBL will be shipped back to you after you provide them with a photo copy of the required NFA F-1 papers.

     

    Joey has several BBL's line up to do this work right now, so send your BBL in and he will get started in the next few weeks.

     

    Cost:

    BBL work - $ 250

    Laser engraving - $ 30

     

    I will be sending my M4 bbl out to Joey as soon as my dealer tells me that my new M4 has arrived. In the mean time, I'll get the paper worked started for the NFA process.

    brig, thx for your reply, but in fact i have contacted Benelli's dealer in Lebanon to ask him for a asolution and he said that he doesnt have the proper material for painting, because the reciever is made of aluminum and it needs special paint to fix properly on it, so i contacted Benelli Italy with an e mail but still no reply.

     

    They may not have the proper materials, but can they recommend someone that can do the work?

    I should be receiving my new Benelli M4 sometime next week and I'm already looking at a chop / cut rebuild & must have accessories.

     

    One thing I would like to do is Form-1 the M4 to a SBS and I need a gunsmith who can cut the bbl, move the sights, and re-attach everything as needed.

     

    Any suggestions or directions are greatly appreciated!

     

    Thanks

    Freedom.

    a handgun would be more practical in that situation.

     

    That's what I was thinking as well, but if it's a 12.5" SBS maybe it will lift and swing as needed?

    You should be able to have someone remove the old finish and re-coat.

     

    I have had receivers and such in the past do the same thing - they ended up turning very purple.

     

    Something about the coating process - cleaning, improper product mix, or application.

    Best place / price on M4

    Buds is also a good place. If you want a 11707 (benelli with 3 position recoil tube for collapsable stocks)... Impact Guns carrys them. Although its cheaper to buy one from buds and buy a 3 pos. recoil tube for $100 from Numrich.

     

    Thanks!

     

    The 3 pos. recoil tube is probably the difference in prices that I have been seeing.

     

    So far Bud's has the lowest price - Bud's it is then!
