Found one on gunbroker yesterday for $340 shipped, still think they are over-priced though.

I'm in the same boat, just brought my M4 home last weekend. The one I bought was the last one they had, and it was the demo and thereby already assembled at the store. Does Benelli assemble these from the factory? Seem's like Tony is using way too much torque on these.

Don't need a rifled barrel to fire a rifled slug, look it up. I was wondering about this just last night and found some good reads on the subject in this very forum, and then I thought of how it works in tank guns. Original M1 tanks used a license built British Royal Ordinance L7 105mm rifled barrel, but soon then switched to a license built German smoothbore Rheinmetall 120mm L/44 on the A1/A2 tanks. If you want a good read look up the M1028 anti-personnel canister brought into service soon after the US invaded Iraq in 2003. It basically fires 9.5mm tungsten balls out of the muzzle in a shotgun like effect out to about 600m. Think of the Benelli M4 as a smoothbore "personal" tank gun.

The Senate has become a hyper-partisan vehicle of gridlock over the past decade, really forcing one to contemplate and re-examine why the need for such a chamber in the first place? Each State gets two Senators regardless as to the number of constituents? Well, at least D.C. doesn't get any, despite getting 3 votes in the electoral college. Fact of the matter remains, Fienstein can sit there and look stupid by trying to define what an assault weapon actually is, but for the next two years at least the House is controlled by the GOP and there will be no legislation on firearms. And even if the Senate were to take up a UN firearms treaty, I don't see how they would get 66 votes with only 55 Democrats.

I don't know how the Senate believes they can supersede the House and start doing whateverTF they want, suggesting some sort of new assault weapons ban? All bills begin in the house, not the Senate. I read an article earlier this morning on Harry Reid suggesting that they change the Senate rules pertaining to rules changes (so they can amend the rules on filibustering,) requiring a simple majority (51 votes) instead of a 2/3's majority. Really? Just pick and choose whichever rule or law that fits their agenda, and make it up as they go? Lawmakers should not be permitted to violate the law.
