[M1014/M4 Picture thread Show us your tricked out defense scatter gun]

The bolt handle manufacturer escapes me....I thought it was Dave's Metal Works but it isn't. The fore end is a Surefire M80.

[Just ordered an M4 H2O]

I have a black M4 already and have a M4 H2O on order. I'm hoping the finish will be fine. If not, off it goes.

[M4 H2O: NP3-coated M4 Tactical with skeleton stock from Benelli]

I just picked mine up today and am very happy!!

Where did you get it from?

[M4 H2O: NP3-coated M4 Tactical with skeleton stock from Benelli]

Do you pay upon ordering or at the time of delivery? I'd like to order now and have 60 days to cushion my bank account for the hit that its going to take for this purchase.

I just put down a $100 deposit (refundable if I change my mind).

[M4 H2O: NP3-coated M4 Tactical with skeleton stock from Benelli]

Where did you order yours? I asked four or five local places in town and have gotten exactly zero answers?!

I had asked around as well and didn't get much help (even Bud's online). Ended up going to a local gun shop (Wilcox in Newport News, Virginia) and he ordered one for me. He called me to make sure it was the correct part number 11711. Benelli says it is about 60 days until delivery. We'll see.

and now the wait begins. I ordered this yesterday and Benelli Customer Service tells me it is about a 60 day wait.

[My first foray into the shotgun world...bought a Benelli M4 and a few parts.]

Well this was my first post and it didn't show up. I thought I did something wrong so I made another post.....hence the dual posts fellas. Anyways, so far I'm impressed with the M4. Wife will be shooting it next weekend. Here's how it looks now:

 

[Just got my first shotgun.....with a few mods installed.]

I think I'm good to go.

Thanks for the compliments and advice fellas. I shot it for the first time.....very nice with much less recoil than expected. Trying to post another pic.

 

 

[Just got my first shotgun.....with a few mods installed.]

Thanks for the info wrinkles. I shot it today at the range. Very impressed. Put a bunch of 00buck downrange.

 

[Just got my first shotgun.....with a few mods installed.]

Went to the range.....M4 worked flawlessly:

Enjoy your shotgun. Remember exhale and hold your breath before you pull your trigger:rolleyes:

 

I will......and I'll make sure I put my eye real close to the sight.

 

Getting the gun ready for the range. Parts installed, everything lubed.

 

[Just got my first shotgun.....with a few mods installed.]

I was thinking where do you use that on a shotgun. Come On it's a SHOTGUN

 

I use it on top.

 

 

Not sure what your intent is, but there are several reasons to choose certain products. Many people prefer a red dot sight for their shotguns.....I have yet to make that final determination. I am trying several different options for my shotgun and will end up using what works best for me. Have a nice evening.

[Just got my first shotgun.....with a few mods installed.]

Thanks for the welcome fellas. I've been tied up with work out of state, so I haven't even had a chance to install everything yet or fire it. I want to have all the functionality but minimize extra weight and girth so that is why I chose the Crimson Trace foregrip. My wife will be shooting it as well(former Marine). I should have all the parts installed tonight as I have a range time setup tomorrow. Thanks again.

If someone where to break in what do you do turn your red dot on first?

 

 

I believe the word you're looking for is "were".

 

To answer your slightly invective question: The red dot sight is not installed while the shotgun is sitting beside my bed at night. I have a crimson trace green laser and 250 lumen light incorporated into the vertical foregrip if needed. Thanks for your concern.

[New M4 at SHOT Show with NP3 finish, full mag and collapsible stock]

Serious question. If they are going to be limited, where would the best place be to get one? I have had so-so luck with Bud's Gun Shop. Is there a dealer that will have more allocations than others? Thanks in advance.

;)Hello fellas.

 

After reviewing and researching for the last three months, I finally decided to go with a Benelli M4 Tactical for home defense/target practice. Added a few items to it already and have a few things coming in the mail. Installed a bigger bolt handle and +2 magazine extension. Put a Burris red dot sight on it and I have a Surefire M80 with vertical grip (Crimson Trace MVF-515) being delivered Tuesday. I cleaned it up and lubricated everything.....may shoot it for the first time tomorrow. Is 6 shot a heavy enough load for proper cycling? I hope so as I have 100 rds of it sitting around. Thanks in advance and I look forward to learning some more from this forum.

Hello fellas. Researched and reviewed hundreds of pages and articles before finally selecting the M4 as my shotgun of choice. I'm looking at all the 922R regulations and have already ordered a few parts. DMW extended magazine and bolt, Crimson Trace MVF515G, Surefire M80 with a few rail covers and I'm still looking for a sling and case. I look forward to learning about this fine piece of machinery and hearing from the forum members.
