  1. Skeet shooting with the M4 Tactical...awesome. Poor skeets, the little guys hardly stand a chance. Update on my experiences: just put about thirty rounds of 2.75 Fed 00 Buck through it, not a problem. Ghost loading worked great. Still have not gotten my magazine extension, but....shooting seven in a row was fun. I was shooting them as fast as I could pull trigger in our large gun club's combat pit and had an older gent make a point of coming over. He simply said, "What the heck are you shooting?" Fun conversation.
  2. Congratulations, looks fantastic. I share your sense of "thrill" with the M4. I just got mine about four weeks ago. What kind of optic are you running? I'm really interested in installing one on the top rail, though the ghost sites are pretty nice too. I tried to put my Aimpoint CompM4, on my M4 Benelli, but the Larue mount it is on made it too high up for me to maintain a good cheek weld on the stock. And, sorry, one more question...how hard it is adding the rails? I got a large charging handle too, wow, so much easier to use it, a enhanced jumbo head safety, and a nice large bolt release pad. I am going to be installing the safety and bolt release pad today. I just love me my Benelli Semi-Auto.
  3. Well, coming back to the point.... I had a great range session with my M4, and put a LOT of heavy 00Buck through it then some cheapo game loads. Worked great, not a single problem, and yes, I was behind the shotgun.
  4. Can you explain what you mean by "stand behind your gun" ... not sure I'm following you.
  5. Made a video showing the M4 in action, from various angles, including some slow motion sequences. Thought folks who are interested in the M4 might enjoy it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5-EsXVTAwU
  6. I bet those are pricey though!
  7. Here you go, I have been told you have to push it back. [video=youtube;vP-wamGA2YY]
  8. replaced and updated
  9. Thanks, just checked the procedure out and was able to do it. I made a high quality video showing the procedure, the YouTube videos I found on it weren't cutting it for me. Should have it up in thirty minutes, I'm uploading it now. Will put a note on it about making sure the shell is pushed all the way back on the carrier.
  10. Well, I have yet another good excuse to get out to the range today.
  11. Now I just have to learn how to "float" a round on the carrier....have not quite got that figured out, and frankly, didn't bother to try.
  12. I'm in love...totally. Where has this thing been all my life? I'm glad I have my Remington 870, because a pump shotgun is fun, very practical, and, well, cheap but..... Wow.... I woke up this morning smiling. I'm going to post a video of the outing and let you enjoy my first adventure with it.
  13. I picked up my M4 from my FFL around noon today and headed out to my gun club (Arnold Rifle and Pistol Club in the St. Louis, MO USA area). I took the unassembled M4 to our club house and carefully followed the instructions for putting it together and then took it out to the largest combat pit we have. Per the advice of members here, I picked up 75 rounds of 00 Buck to break it in with. I chose Remington Express Magnum Buckshot, 3" 00 Buck, 15 pellets, 1225 FPS. I put them all through the shotgun, then put 50 rounds of Winchester Super-X-3 3" #1 Buck 24 pellets, 1040FPS through the M4 Not a single fail to feed or fail to extract. The M4 performed flawlessly. It is incredibly fun to shoot. I'm a happy camper.
  14. OK, thanks gents. Will do, and will send you the orthopedic bill.
  15. OK, thanks for explaining the "dram" thing. So, can the M4 Handle the cheapo Walmart Fed .12 guage? I'd like to train with something less expensive than my favorite 00 Buck. Suggestions would be most welcome!
  16. Sorry, stupid here: What is "Low Dram EQ" - a brand of bird shot? Type of bird shot?
  17. New owner and just wondering if there is any brand/type of ammo I should avoid using in my M4, based on user's experiences? Thanks.
  18. Thanks, yes, when I was shopping around for one I had a hard time even finding any in stock. Davidson's Gallery of Guns shows them as out of stock, nearly constantly, and most sites where I did find a listing, they were "out of stock." Bud's was one of the few with them in stock.
  19. New guy here, and excuse the "new guy" gush... My M4 has arrived at my FFL and I'm going to pick it up today at noon. I'm fired up!! After a lot of research and looking around, I purchased it from Bud's Gun Shop. I got it for $1,559, no tax, no shipping charge. I can take it, tell me, how did I do on price? Model number: 11707 http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/images/411542206.jpg

    New M4 Owner

    OK, my bad for not being more clear. Maximum capacity with a traditional magazine on it. What's some recommended full size/extended magazines? Thanks.

    New M4 Owner

    Greetings, I would really appreciate your help. I am a new M4 owner and I'd like to have as much possible ammo capacity as possible. Can you provide me links to various options for maximum magazine capacity? Thanks.

    M4 Question

    Hey guys, new to the forum and I've been having a hard time running down an answer to this question. I'm very interested in getting a Benelli M4, but I would really like to have as much magazine capacity as possible Can I get a M4 and add a magazine extension to get the 7+1 mil spec capacity? Or is that not possible? I hate the thought of having to plunk down a lot of money on the H20 which, hate to say it, just doesn't appeal to me from a cosmetic point of view alone.
