I need to change all three items due to arthritic condition.

Done deal....... I turned the charging handle to the left until i felt a CLICK then pulled up....out came the charging handle. You learn something new every day. Thank you.

I would'nt think of using metal to metal. Thanks for your concern. The charging handle will be portected.

I might have to pull the charging handle out with a pair of pliers, would a GG&G charging handle be easier to handle?

I twist to the left and pull up on the charging handle but that sucker will not come out. What am I doing wrong? Help!!

Dave at DMW 1-626-859-0299 after 1pm get the right answers.

I'm sure if you look hard enough you can find heat gun at a yard sale for $1.25. I have no need for a heat gun. Besides I have so much MONEY I like to spread it around and keep this slow economy going everybody has to eat.

Dave at DMW installed a tube extention and a speed bar on my M4, he's only 20 min away. $40.00 for labor beats spending $75.00 on a heat gun. He does great work.

The Benelli manual recommends Skeet XXXXX Choke.

I think we would still like to see a picture of YOUR Benelli M4 with the extention tube.

Show us a picture of your Benelli M4 with the extention tube you put on. I myself have peace of mind knowing that I didn't screw anything up trying to install the tube myself.

April 8, 2013 12:30 PM Pacific Standard Time. I just got the phone with customer service again and this guy said Benelli strongly recomends using the Improved Cylinder Choke for 00 buck and slugs. Just thought I'd pass it on.

Thanks for the responce. I just unscrewed the choke on my M4 on the side of the choke it reads Steel Shot OK-M- XXX. According to the manual it's a Modified choke, if it has X it's a full choke if it has XX it's a Improved Modified choke, if it has XXXX it's a Improved Cylinder choke and if it has XXXXX it's a skeet choke. Plus it has three notches on top of the choke letting me know I have a Modified choke, two notches Improved Modified choke etc. I still don't know if I can use 00 buck or slugs.

This is my first Benelli M4 I plan on using 00 buck and slugs. I called Benelli and customer service said NOT to use the choke that came with my M4 for 00 buck or slugs. I didn't like her attitude so I said thank you goodbye. So here I am. Can someone please tell me what choke I should use for 00 buck and slugs and what type of 12ga shells do I use with the original choke? Thanks

I payed $1770.00 for my M4 out the door from Bass Pro Shops here in Ontario Calif., tax and DROS included.

Thanks for the info. I have a few more questions, I think i'll open it up to the forum.

I'm new to this Benelli forum I hope you don't mind me asking all these questions. Are you using the original choke that came with your M4 to shoot slugs? I haven't shot my M4 yet, I'll be shooting 00 buck and slugs.

Does the FFT medium size charging handle weigh more or less than the original Benelli M4 charging handle? I'm wondering if the new weight of the charging handle had any affect on the chambering and extraction of the shells.

For the DMW extention tube $75.00, $18.00 for the speed bar, labor $40.00 two day turn around.

I called Dave today at DMW he told me how to remove the new spring and replace it with the original Benelli spring. Great news!!! My M4 with the DMW tube extention is now taking 7+1. What a bear to put that spring back in. Just thought I'd let you know.

Thanks for the info.

This is my first Benelli M4, I had a DMW 7 round extention tube installed by Dave a couple of days ago. I've only been able to put 6 shells in the tube, I cannot completely load the 7th shell. Is there something I can do to fix this problem or do I Call DMW? The reason I'm asking this question on this forum is because maybe other guys with M4 extention tubes have this same problem. Thanks:cool:
