Momentum

50 cal? Just throw out a wild guess.

I've purchased from the Seller and I can say it was a perfect transaction. Great and fast communication, delivered exactly as described. If you are looking for a C-Stock, buy without worries.

Not doubting the idea the price is going up, but just wondering what is the driver? Lack of supply, I'm guessing - but still curious if there is something I don't know. I've already got mine with no plans to sell, so I have nothing vested in it going up...or down (other than hindsight beating me on the head saying I should have waited...But at my $300 purchase price for NIB, it's no biggie, either way.)

I already gave a positive review of the seller, but I'd add that it's worth checking with them on when they have more in stock. It was the smootest transaction I've ever done. Communication was beyond what you could expect.

I ordered from heckler&kochp2000 and can attest to his professionalism and speed of delivery. Excellent communication at all hours - beyond my expectations.

Sometimes our (US) laws can be a bit illogical. If I'm not mistaken, I believe the particular nuance of "U.S. Made" guns versus "foreign" guns was driven by heavy lobbying from our American gun manufacturers and supported by some "more aggressive" foreign guns coming from overseas, at the time the law was pushed through. I'm thinking of guns like the UZI and AKs. At the time, the U.S. manufacturers were not producing such "nice" weapons. The results of these laws has resulted in what you see today. It's more of a hinderance than anything. I don't mind dropping some American parts on the gun to comply with our laws. And specifically in this case, I think most of these parts are superior to the original production anyway. The one I'd agree is not necessarily better is the forward cover/grip (what ever you call it on a automatic shotgun.) At least we live in a country that supports guns in the hands of it's citizens. There are plenty of european countries, as well as asian countries where this is not the case. On a personal level, I support gun ownership, but I would like to see required training classes to be permitted to obtain a gun owners permit. I know that is onerous, but there are allot of people out there that do not know how to handle a gun, but often have them lying around their home or carrying them with them. At the moment, I'm thinking of the Arizona senator who, in play, pointed her concealed carry gun at a reporter and "lit up" the laser sight on the reported. She later said, that while the gun had no safety, it was perfectly safe to point a loaded gun at another person, because she didn't have her finger on the trigger. That's not how I was ever taught to handle a gun and I suspect most of us know you don't point a weapon at a person unless you intend to shoot it. I recall a recent vide president that accidentally shot someone. It's a real simple rule. First and foremost, don't allow the gun to be pointed where you don't want to shoot, regardless if your finger is on the trigger, the safety is on or you don't think the gun is loaded. I could go on and on, but if our representatives don't have that basic common sense, I think it's reasonable that we require a little training for the safety of all. And with less accidental shootings, then perhaps we can loosen up on our concealed carry concerns and other gun controls.

I'm losely following the discussion...pretty closed door, from what I can tell. I doubt we'll see much in the way of gun control get passed, but who knows for sure. If we do see it, I suspect they may target high-capacity pistols and especially the rifle caliber (.223/7.62) high capacity "pistols". Hopefully shotguns are safe.

What does a LNIB 1014 go for?

I did the research as referenced in the original post (see above). Thank you for the first two responses that really nailed the answer for me. Being new to the M4, these first two responses clarified it. Thanks!

Awesome thread! Great advice - I'll be keeping this one with the manual.

This is my first post - I've been lurking for a long time and an avid fan of the Benelli M4. I've seen allot of threads on parts to make the Benelli M4 922r compliant, but it's a little confusing. I was hoping folks could answer three questions: 1.) How many parts have to be replaced on Benelli M4 in order to install the OEM collapsible stock and a 7 round tube (I presume a single piece is best)? 2.) What parts are available to complete the conversion? 3.) What is considered the ideal setup, manufacturer and part? I realize there will be a little debate about question number 3, but that's to be expected. I don't want to start a fight over the best manufacturer, just would like to hear what everyone considers is their best option. Thanks for all the help in advance!
