someone should have offered more money.... that thing was too cheap to begin with.

I don't think they've been on Benelli's page since December. I've only see them on ebay and gunbroker for $350-$600. Too much $$. I've had one on backorder from Brownell's since Jan 31st. I thought I might get one this quarter as it seemed like a shipment came in from Italy last week, but no dice.

PM sent regarding this

why didnt you guys buy a socomguy tube?...makes no sense and he has a few left...at most its 1 week to receive and at $145 you can save coin over the carrier comp tube...its steel...
don't forget the carriercomp includes the follower and spring. so the price difference isn't all that great. little weight savings never hurt. and the machining is pretty damn nice on the carriercomp, not that socomguys tube isn't already nice.

Just installed my collapsible stock (M4 OEM) and getting it fully collapsed is very stiff. Fully extended and middle position are fine but when I turn it 45 degrees, then sliding it all the way up and turning it back 45 degrees to it's normal position is very stiff. Nothing seems to be binding but is this normal?
when I had mine it was pretty stiff at first, but it started to loosen up pretty quickly. it never got super smooth, but I didn't use it much. I'm sure someone will chime in and say give it some time.

Hey Seasam!....Beyond all the thread tech talk....I like the look!
thanks, yeah I like it. went and shot last night - everything seems fine, loctite did the job.

I looked around on McMaster-Carr and Fastenal, but didn't see much that would work for the .75mm thread pitch. It's kind of an odd ball size.
The closest I found was 6mm in length, which is kind of long for your needs. They'd need to be ground to the length you need. Since there is no lip on a set screw to bottom against, you'd have to lock them in place with a threadlocker.

thanks for the suggestion... yeah mcmaster usually has it all, but I guess this size is too far out there. m4x.7 or m6x.75 .... close but not close enough.
the other option is some sort of plastic plug like Benelli uses in their other models, but I don't think that's any easier to find. I tried (caplugs, stockcap sites).
I know for sure my threads weren't ruined with the 8-40 when I put them in - loose if anything, but who knows when I try to take them out now that they're loctited in place and I have to use actual force to remove them. I think I'll just leave them and call it a day. and never sell my m4. hah.
I'm at least glad benelliwerkes posted on this, because I could not find out what the damn size of those screws were from online searching. I just don't have the tools myself... so thanks again man.
-
thanks for the insight and correction! I will say that the 8-40 screws did work for me in this case as they are not being used as a fastener. I encountered no resistance and do not believe that the threads were reconfigured. Had they been torqued down, the result may have been different. I'm happy with what I have so I don't think I'll try getting different screws to see if it makes a difference. If anybody else has tried metric screws please chime in.

I opted to remove the rail on my m4 and thought I'd share...
-Rail screw holes are M4x.75 NOT #8-40 (8-40 is what I used, but do so at your own risk - read further)
-Screws should be no more than .130" long to match receiver thickness
I purchased these two plug screws, either one will work:
-Brownells hex plug: 080-534-002WB $16.99
-Brownells slotted plug: 080-533-840WB $8.99
Personally I thought the hex screw looked best, even though they were pricey. I was worried the hex plugs might be a shade too long as the receiver seemed to be 1/8" but they fit perfect. Other options on Brownells include a positive stop screw and a SS option.
I secured these screws with Loctite 243 as it supposedly works better if oil contamination is present... and I already had some 243 from my titanium carriercomp mag install (thx Unobtanium for the 243 insight). I'm sure any blue loctite would do the job though.
All in all probably a huge waste of time for this, but I like the cleaner m1 type look with the rail out of the way. Plus I was bored.

Benelli M4 Standard Straight Stock Item #81041
Product is new, I removed it from a M4 and replaced it with a telescoping stock
Payment via Paypal & Shipped via USPS Priority mail
Asking $500 *OR BEST OFFER*
There seems to be alot of people asking for these lately.. so I thought I would see how it goes
Send me a PM with offers/questions!
how about $275? you should probably go to gunbroker with that price. or ebay. although.... new one sold on ebay for $360 the other day, so maybe not.
-
numrich still has them in stock too
-
Ok guys,
I've read both thoughts on using old spring(original) or new spring.
Where do i get a new replacement to go with the 2 round extension???
Thanx
carriercomp is the only place I know - it's a wolff spring apparently, but I don't think it's on their site
-
I'll take it. PM sent
-
these instructions are helpful. about to do mine soon:
-
the only problem selling that cheap is that it's worth flipping
-
I am still looking for one! in case anybody with a deeper pockets is interested... ebay has one going for about $400 at the moment, 3 days left:
-
some people like to put a wolff spring / carriercomp in there - not sure how necessary that is, but I did it.
-
I'd say it's reasonable given their current prices - they seem to be stuck at $599 on gunbroker right now
-
I don't think there is a wait for cc springs and followers. Check their store, they may have those in stock.
you're right... I emailed carriercomp to check. the followers are in stock. they said mine should ship today (ordered Feb 27th).
-
I will take one. Where would one find a us made fallower? That other company is 5 months out(carriercomp)
crap guess I'll be waiting a while
I think brownell's has some as does freedom fighter tactical FFT. I think I'll wait for the carriercomp though, but I'm sure the others are fine. -
found the listing I was talking about... avoid tubes that look like this one! looks just like the replacement I got from numrich.
http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=328797790
can't wait to get mine from Joe! I'll post pics.
-
I had seen those on numrich and was curious. I didn't trust that they were genuine parts given that they were "available".
How can you tell its Taiwan? I can't imagine putting a tube like that on the M4 especially since it won't help out 922r at all. Can you post pics maybe as a warning?
yeah, if you pay attention to the description it is listed as a "replacement" which should read "substitute". they are very cheap in appearance, and come in a plastic bag that has one of those gold taiwan stickers on it. almost thought it was a shower rod. Doesn't look like I took any pics before I sent it back. I have actually seen one for sale on gunbroker with someone claiming it was genuine benelli. I feel sorry for whoever paid for it cause it was like $2-300. guy claimed ignorance on it when I asked him about it. they are a light grey enamel color in appearance. similar but lighter than the original. very cheap feeling. not something I'd want on my m4. wish I had some pics, but I was so disgusted. haha

aaand.. if you are looking to sell your straight stock - let me know!!

mine wouldn't budge with a heatgun and my hands - gunsmith used a torch and popped it off for me.
