    Ya I think so, I’d have to look into Italian made parts importing into USA.  All my items are Canadian made and have certain exemption status with the USA.  I don’t think it’s the same for countries outside of North America.

    I’m a fan of your work……for the m4 as well as x95

    Thanks, ironically neither one looks like the picture. I replaced the optics on both, Cerakote the Titanium, replaced the Briley handguard, & Mesa Tactical stock.

    Ha……ain’t that the way it goes? Post up some new pics

    I'm assuming it would be illegal for me to buy such an item if I live in the US from Canada? Otherwise I feel like everyone would be doing it lol. That's crazy... 

    No. It’s that most Canadian dealers don’t want to mess with the import BS.

    This is the standard line in the gun world. Repeated often.  But take and use this information sparingly. It may very well apply to some types of springs of a certain level of quality, but people read it and take it as gospel about all of them.

     

    From my line of work, I've learned it's far from true.

     

    Ok….then educate me

    Ive seen spring manufacturers state a coil spring, under pressure, come loose some strength over a long period of time. But is this 5% in ten years? How much is some? How long is a period of time? They all so state loss of tension due to cycles

    I don’t have a vast amount of shotguns I’ve got so I’m curious if the trigger can be improved on or if that’s just how it is.

    Yes……FFT, Briley, and even the Geissele hammer improve the trigger over the stock bits

  6. I’m really not sure. 
    no real way to understand when a spring will fail. Over the years, with different shotguns, the mag tube springs are all I remember changing 

  7. I have a Geissele hammer along with FFT trigger and sear. Trigger pull was reduced by 1 pound 13 ounces. 
     

    I’ll admit, my original intent of replacing those parts were due to chasing 922 total. The Gazeley hammer was used because of earlier FFT hammers being deformed with use. I’m not sure if the FFT hammers are still an issue but the guys Isley hammers are, as far as I know, no longer produced

  8. Trigger Springs, at least coil springs in this case, loose tension from cyclic rate, not compression.

    Even in the Marine manual, I’ve never seen a replacement time change on springs

    Ya some discolouration on the annodizing looks like.

    cerekote is your best option.  If you do get it painted make sure to request a low gloss/matte sheen of your colour choice. In my view you have the option of just painting the receiver black, or painting the whole gun.

     If you want to keep costs down I would start with just the receiver and see how you like it.  The Benelli m4 Is made up of several shades of black and dark greys, so a black painted receiver might just fit in nicely I think.

    This pic I attached. The bolt release tab and the charge handle are cerakote low gloss/matte graphite black.  You can see the comparison to the receiver colour.  I hope this is helpful!

    Then there is what I call “Air Force blue”

    @MrFootball

     

    sorry, I just now saw this. Are used to Forstner bit in a drill press. The stock body was supported by an epoxy to sit nicely in the vise.

    Once it was poured out, I switch to the other side and did the same. And then you some JB Weld and filled the cavity. The cups were then pressed into position 

     

    Damnit……typos 

    stock body was supported by an epoxy bed. I made to support it in the device while drilling.

    Once the left side was drilled out, I flipped the stock and repositioned to drill the other side. 
     

    and then use some JB weld to fill in the cavity and to seat the QD cups
