  1. WHO removed the stock and cut down the mag tube?

     

    Probably Norbar. They do the NP3 coating. I was told by Benelli that they were still going to fill the back orders but may have to make changes to make the ATF happy. They also said that they would adjust the pricing if they had to eliminate items such as the stock and tube. The stock could be changed, and I'm sure that Norbar would NP3 a tube, and that could be added, but the cost of doing that should be the amount of the price reduction. I also still have one on order. Not sure if I want it or not. I did pick up a standard black M4..... It's fun to shoot skeet with. :D

  2. I ordered an M4 H20 on March 3, 2012 from my local dealer. In December of 2012 I received a letter from Benelli stating that " . . . we do not have a firm date that this review by BATFE will be completed. They are working with us and we are in line to receive an opinion."

     

    Think I they will actually send them out?

     

    Mine has been on order for about the same time period...and paid for. Benelli says that the lawyers are working with the ATF. I suggested that whatever problem the ATF has, replace the item on the gun and offer a rebate based on the warranty registration that will allow you to purchase the original part from Robar, who's coating it with the NP3 and assembling. Who knows what they're going to do. I just picked up a standard M4 and installed the extended tube for something to play with. It's a great gun and allot of fun. We'll see what happens. Good luck! :confused:

  3. First 200 rounds were 00Buck and Slugs. Next 100+ rounds were low brass at 1300fps. After trying different lubes after each cleaning, now it eats anything with 300+ rounds through it.

    Hope your's won't take as long...

     

    Thanks. It's good to know that it will loosen up eventually. Just means I need to shoot it alot....I can do that!:o

  4. :confused: I just picked up my new M4 the other day and have shot abot 40 rounds throught it. It will only cycle high brass ammo. Will that change as it breaks in, or is that just the way it is?
  5. What is FFL? Is that Freedom Fighter Tactical? I didn't know their colors matching wasn't good.

     

    If I were buying again I would get the SOCOMGuy tube. Post in that thread if you want one or have questions. He has a good reputation here and this is a tough crowd.

     

    Sorry...typo...meant FFT. I'll wait to hear back from SOCOMguy...and I'll switch threads.

     

    THANKS!

  6. I know this subject has been beat to death...but...I'm ready to order an extended tube for my new M4. Compcarrier is out because of the wait time. FFL is out because of the color. That leaves Dave's and SOCOMguy. I've contacted both without reply. The prices are very different and I'm a believer in "you get what you pay for"...So which is the better and which can I get now?

     

    I wish Kip could produce em quicker or FFL could color match.

     

    Thanks guys!

  7. There will be no more H2O's. If you go to their web site, you can't find one anywhere. Benelli says that they are still planning on filling only those back ordered early. Probably no later than last April, but there are no guarantees. They're not taking any orders and haven't for some time. Not sure what they're going to do to make ATF happy. Info is almost impossible to get. I've had one ordered and paid for since March....Not holding my breath....look for pre-owned, or make one from a standard M4. It just wont have the NP3 coating.

  8. Benelli will likely make whatever adjustment they need to in the "manufacturing" process to allow them to sell what they have in the pipe line and then be done with the H2O...I'm glad I'm not in a hurry.

  9. Just spoke with Benelli. The H2O's are delayed due to the ATF. They're working on making them happy and said that all that were ordered before mid April will be delivered. They just don't know when. I was also told that those remaining on back order will be it for the H2O. There will be no more.

  10. I was at local gunshop this morning while they were on the phone with thier Benelli rep. They asked about the M4 H2O they had on order and were told the ATF ordered Benelli to stop shipping/selling the M4 H2O. I'm guessing there were some compliance issues and not enough US made parts. I was lucky and got one of only two there were delivered and sold in their reps territory. Rep told them he had no idea when they would be out again.

     

    GREAT news!!!! :mad:

  11. Mine has been on order and paid for in February also. I was told about the same thing from Benelli the last time I contacted them. I haven't asked lately. I figure it will get here when it gets here. No hurry. :confused:

  12. Any updates on future availabilty?

     

    The last I was told by Benelli is that those H2O's that were ordered in the early months should be delivered by year end. I get a different story every time I talk with them except that they will fill those early back orders. If you go to their web site, you can't find an H2O. Don't know if there will be any more in the future...???

  13. Finish is fantastic! I was lucky enough to pick up one early in April from my local shop. The rep had just dropped it off the previous day. The rep told my local dealership that at the time, there were on 7 units in the southeast. Guess it was my lucky day I just happened into the store when I did. :)

     

    Right place, at the right time....that never happens to me.

     

    Good to hear about the finish.
