    My apologies; the Leap 01 is still available. Just the Sync Aimpoint specific Mount has been discontinued. It’s possible it could return if they had enough demand. 

    I contacted them a week or two ago and they hope to bring back the micro version by the end of the year.  Fingers crossed.  As much as I like the trijicon option (and savings) I like everything sealed due to the amount of rain I experience...

    I like that. Maybe I'm wrong, but I always thought the Velcro side saddles needed to have one piece glued to the receiver. This design avoids that. So this fit's the M4? Sorry to butt in, not trying to hijack the OP's thread.

    Oh yeah.  I just got some velcro brand industrial 2" loop https://www.amazon.com/VELCRO-Brand-Industrial-Fasteners-Professional/dp/B00006RSP1

    Cut it to size (and left a little notch for the trigger group retaining pin)  and applied it.  I cleaned the side of my receiver with alcohol or acetone before hand and have had no problems.

  3. I do... Did it to save a bit of weight and have one less component with corrosion issues to worry about... that being said it's still a chunk of change that really doesn't offer much enhanced functionality.  Top notch machining and finishing though.

  4. That was awfully nice of remington... but I can see how benelli wouldn't want the liability of returning a repaired damaged barrel.  They have no idea how the damage occurred and it's a bit much to expect non-destructive testing.  I certainly don't expect a company to fix something I damaged through my own negligence.

  5. I used a blow torch by inserting it in the area that would normally be occupied by the lifter and heating up the inside of the magazine tube where it is threaded into the receiver.  It took a bit to position everything.  I heated it up in "pulses" to not over heat one area but once it started smoking, like Sukhoi said whisps, I was able to unscrew the tube.  No discoloration or damage to the receiver in my case.

    Welcome!

    No doubt thousands of people on the internet will say that they shoot rifled slugs out of their modified choked M4's without any issues.

    I don't, because I like to err on the side of what the manufacturer says and you already know what they say.

    As to your other question why they come equipped with the MOD choke and not an IC, I haven't ever seen an answer to that.

    I did call up benelli and ask them about the MOD choke specifically for the m4.  They guy said it was to balance the use of buckshot, birdshot, and slugs.  Puzzled about that answer I inquired about the statement on their website and he said if you shoot a lot of slugs (not sure exactly what a lot is) then switch to CYL or IMP CYL.  Back when I had changeable choke tubes I just left the MOD in there as I use both buck and slugs.  Granted I didn't use the more exotic slugs out there that are steel with polymer rings on them.  I did use the hardened brenneke slugs at times and had no problems.  Brenneke does recommend an IMP CYL choke for accuracy but state most of theirs, except the sabot slugs, can be used with any choke

    Where did you come across the mil spec 18.5"?

    I bought it from Unobtanium on these forums a few years back.  Haven't seen any for sale lately...but then again I haven't really been looking
