    M4 Collapsible Stock for sale - $375

    in Benelli

    Posted · Edited by SlowArrow

    I have one of the Benelli collapsible M4 stocks that is NIB for sale. I ended up having all three variants of the available stocks for my M4, and then this extra collapsible. It has never been installed - ever. I'm willing to let this go at a loss over what I paid to move it quickly - my loss is your gain if you are looking to buy one of these fine stocks. $375 gets it shipped to your door.

     

    Thanks for looking!

    Interesting....there are always those business owners that talk a good game and are very helpful when their products don't work - even hold your hand when you screw up. There or others (like Kip) that do most of their talking through the quality, fit, finish and operability of their products. I prefer to deal with the latter.

     

    Kip has never failed to deliver, he has executed every order I've ever launched from his website in less than the advertised time, and every single item I've ever receive from him has been the best quality part I could imagine. I have never had the need to communicate directly with Kip - and to me that is the best business model and customer support I could ever ask for. Is he hard to get ahold of......beats me - I've never had to, and I have pretty close to every product he offers for the M4.

     

    If the truth as I see it makes me a fanboy - I can deal with that label. What are you if you drop in here and only post trash about a guy. Guess it sucks to be you!

    I finally got around to ordering a GG&G speed button. Just curious, are they difficult to install or will I have to take my gun into a gunsmith?

     

    If you can remove the trigger assembly and are comfortable using a punch to remove and install roll-pins you will be able to do it yourself. If that scares you, see a smith.

     

    It is a fairly simply job.

    What parts are included with the GG&G speed button? Does it replace the internal benelli carrier release. Does it contain a new roll pin?

    Thanks

     

    Yes to all your questions. The kit replaces the internal carrier release, the spring, and the roll pin. The only things you have to add is a drop of Locktite.

     

    These are a very nice addition and functional improvement.

    Aggie,

    It's been awhile since I ran a T-1 with the low LaRue mount ( they're both on a FS90 now) but it wasn't of issue of where the co-witness occurred--it didn't. The iron sights set somewhere behind the mount. A VERY low sighting system (just look at a pic and you'll see) compared to an AR and thus not comparable to carbine co-witness preferences. I hope I'm not the only one who remembers it this way. :confused: Plus co-witnessing shotgun sights is just silly.

     

    The low mount (with a T-1) works well with the fixed stock. If you can wait a week I plan to reinstall this set-up with the good SideArmor rail and can correct the above if necessary.

     

    You remember correctly. There is NO co-witness on the M4

    I think there are several posts that show exactly what you are looking for - not that I would'nt drool over yet another one. I think you got a killer deal on the M4 at under $1500.....that is less than I paid for sure.

    Pistol Grip or regular stock for a shotgun class?

    There was a lot of reall good information in that post! Thanks for sharing some real experience that was clearly expressed and right on point.

     

    I was going to just change to the field stock (something about old dogs and new tricks) but now I believe I'll give the PG a fair try. I will say that the M4 PG is the most comfortable PG I have ever tried.

     

    Thanks again!

     

    Way back in 1986, I took part in a Police Academy, Police Shotgun qualification class. I was using a H&K imported M1 S90 by Benelli in Defense/Police Configuration. That means pistol grip, all black, plain rifle sights and 7+1+1 capacity. Nobody on the line, including the instructors had ever heard of Benelli before and after a few minutes trying to explain the inertia system, I gave up. All the other shotguns were Remy and a few Winchester pumps.

     

    Not sure how many practise rounds we fired but by the time "qualifications" were due, I was starting to get a very sore right hand. Also by then about 6 of the pump shotguns had broken down and other officers, from various towns, were borrowing shotguns from each other.

     

    Then came qualifications. I was hanging onto that rubber pistol grip like my life depended on it. We shot 00 buckshot first, both standing and then advancing on the man sized targets with serveral reloads. My target had all the holes in the main body. Next came rifled slugs. 10 rounds in a fire/reload/fire exercise at one given distance. My head and jaw were still buzzing a little from all the 00 buckshot rounds.

     

    The range went hot and the whistle blew. I loaded, aimed and fired. We went 4 rounds, 4 rounds then 2 rounds. On the last 2 rounds my eyes were starting to water but I was still gripping that pistol grip tightly. I finished with all ten slugs into the inner circle on the target.

     

    For a woman not used to firing full load 12 guage shells, about 50 in under one hour, this was brutal. I don't think I could have finished the course if I had a field stock to grip. During the afternoon shoot, I loaned my Benelli to many other recruits as so many of the pumps had broken down. Everybody loved the pistol grip. Only one other shotgun with a pistol grip (and folding stock) was avilable. The rest were standard short barrel pumps, many with hard plastic butt plates. At the end of the day, their were a lot of sore police cadets.

     

    In case anybody is interested, my Benelli didn't have one single burp of any kind that entire day or at any time over the next many years. Oh Ya, my vote goes to the pistol grip design for combat/police work.

     

    My guess is that at a civilian shotgun course, you will be firing a lot more 12 guage shells that I did. Use a pistol grip and if allowed a shooting glove (finger tips cut away). Have fun.

    Has anyone bought the FFT lately? Sounds like they were having some fit issues at first?

     

    I just bought one and it installed exactly like the stock one, and i'm not sure you could tell the difference. I like the stock foregrip, and the FFT unit is exactly the same, fit was the same, and it gives you the 922® compliance. Hard to beat!

    Be careful about your local state laws WRT shotguns with folding stocks. In the Peoples Republic of Kalifornia, you can not put a folding or collapsible stock on a shotgun with a pistol grip (if I read the laws correctly).

    To make it look less evil and more like a sporting shotgun

     

    I agree, plus I feel more comfortable with the standard stock - just too many years of using a sporting shotgun to switch now. I was wondering if you thought the same, and it looks like there are several other that agree as well.

     

    I am not fond of the pistol grip stocks on shotguns, and I'm looking to add a standard stock to mine as soon as I can. I think I have a standard replacement stock coming to me that I found here on this forum.....at least I'm hoping it fits! In case I guessed wrong, do you have any idea about which other Benelli stocks can be used - or where I could find the standard replacement?

     

    Thanks

    I've owned my M4 since 2008

     

    Modifications: Meprolight night sights, GG&G charging handle, GG&G Release pad, GG&G side sling plate adapter, Blawkhawk sling, Benelli standard stock, and side shell holder from Dicks Sporting Goods store.

    Why did you decide to run the "Standard Stock" as opposed to the pistol grip?
