I followed Stranger Danger's guide and it took be ~15 minutes to change out the hammer, trigger, and disconnector. I used the FFT replacement parts and everything worked perfectly
As for tools...I just needed a few punch pins, a dental pick, and snap ringer pliers.
-
Hmm....I was curious how well the cerakotes would stick to the NiB. But I suppose that's really more for aesthetics given what NiB does for corrosions resistance / friction reduction.
And that is a great price for a hardly used M4...
-
Did you send that info to FFT?
-
But who exactly is banning them?
-
Hmm, glad to hear all sorts of loads are cycling reliably for many. I've never had a failure to eject on mine either. Just curious if anyone has tried some LTL ammunition...I'm just curious how the procedure is using it. For example how often does a cartridge partially eject vs not kicking the bolt back enough so you have a clean manual eject.
-
Pardon my ignorance but what would a thumbhole stock give you that a pistol grip one wouldn't...assuming you can get one for the 20 gauge. Good luck with your upgrades!
-
I found this to be a useful vid (
) I'd be interested in hearing anyone else's options too...as I think I'll be picking one up sooner rather than later. Cheers -
Completely agree! Well worth it for all of the information he included. With his manual and StrangerDanger's tutorials I feel like I could almost build one myself
-
Hmm...good question. Someone once recommended one of those magic erasers (the white melamine foam ones) and some gun oil afterwards. (http://www.ncgunowners.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=19377) Just keep in mind that the magic eraser are basically a high grit sandpaper and could probably remove the finish if you kept at it too long or pressed to hard... but I don't have any first hand experience with this. Best of luck!
-
Just as the title say. I just need to know what the factory finish is on an m4. Thx
I'm fairly sure they are parkerized (phosphoric acid treated)
-
Yes, thank you. The armor black has a nice matte finish to it. Cheers
-
Would you mind sharing a few more picks of your barrel (that sounds dirty....) Hehe, trying to decide if/what color to cerakote mine.
-
Uh-oh:( We've been here before. Mr. McCain is persona-non-grata here.
May I ask what happened? or is it all hush hush now?
-
Would you mind posting a few more of the armor black cerakoted barrel...trying to decide on finishes and from that pic it looks like an excellent match to the original finish
-
YES.
IF you would like more information on the Anatomy Series of Manuals send me a PM.
I've tried to pm you...and it might have gone through but I don't have a message in my pm outbox. Anyway, I'm interested as well. Cheers!
-
Seriously impressive! Looking forward to hearing your reviews of the new coatings after shooting some rounds....I'm just not looking forward to parting with mine for the coating process. Oh well it will happen eventually.
-
Wish I could help...but if you're racking the action it appears that you would have pushed the action release lever.

I'd give customer service a call. Perhaps the magazine stop button is malfunctioning?
-
Nice job SD!
BTW If somebody will ask you to make a H2O Benelli M4 (silver/grey coating) from the typical black M4 model could you be able to do it?
It's not too hard...it's the waiting for Robar to finish coating the parts that's the hard part. You just need a standard m4 with the factory collapsible stock. Then get a steel or aluminum full length mag tube (np3 doesn't adhere to titanium too well). And a few hundred to send it off to Robar for the np3+ coating.
-
Thanks! Not too reflective at all. Cheers
-
Ah, spiffy. I was looking at getting an H2O version before all of the craziness happened as I'll be by some salt water for work. Is the np3 finish as matte as benelli's pictures make it out to be? Cheers
-
Ah, makes sense....especially if you want to avoid a reflective receiver. I think I used the wrong word...I meant I wanted to get my bolt carrier/inside of receiver coated to help with clean up and lessen the need for lubricants (though I never plan to run it "dry") Messing with the trigger group, besides swapping out some benelli for US made parts, is something I would like to avoid. Do you happen to know if Robar will only coat the inside of a receiver? OR should I just give them a call. Looking forward to seeing your updates. Cheers
-
Looks to be an amazing refinish project! Just curious why you went with a NiB coating instead of perhaps an NP3+ . I'm thinking of doing something similar to my internals and just can't find really good persuasive arguments one way or the other. Cheers
-
Couldn't someone just "make" an H2O version for ~2800? But I suppose I'm looking at it from the point of using it instead of just collecting one.

See the very bottom of the page...I have no idea about the price...but the work should be good.
