I've owned many shotguns and sidesaddles. If your going to have one there is none better than Asgard Defense. Like anything you get what you pay for
Yeah I'll totally give a plug for those guys. I have a couple myself
-
I hope it's not another upgrade I need

Thank you Mr. Danger. No collapsible stock for me - I tend to hurt my face with one. I have the shorter Urbino pistol grip. However, I am having a standard stock shortened to Urbino stock LOP by a gunsmith just to try it out. I see Mr. Ohbejuan has added a Geissele hammer - I've been considering one. The KZ bolt handle is just a scaled-up stock style and seems to be working ok.
You can see both my full-size and SBS version here

That muzzle brake is heavy!

I had no vice, just a couple of pot holders and some of those grippy rubber things to help twist and the heat gun (and no good place to lay it)
If I can do it, you can too
Not sure I'd go the water approach, but a good ole fashioned heat and twist and a little hand burning goes a long way!
-
SD Always does prime work, so I'm sure he would get done whatever you need!
That being said, I also used a Wagner heat gun on my relatively-new M4 SBS and it took longer than I would've liked. If you wanted to try it yourself, my issues seemed to be where I was heating instead of how much. Getting the heat in the proper location is more important than getting it super hot

Check Botach out Make an offer on the page.
Yes, a new bolt handle would be awesome, but I don't want one to rotate. I tried to file down a titanium FFT, but it ended in disaster.
I still have the OEM on both of mine
All of mine have come from:
Ebay

I have several Sidearmor/Asguards and love mine. I don't happen to use them anymore since I'm using the Scalarworks RMR rail, but Asguard makes an awesome product. Be careful with any other options that only use top rail screws because its possible to damage the screw holes in the aluminum receiver
-
I'm certainly not one to taunt the ATF or throw caution to the wind when it comes to my freedom. I follow requirements and CFRs to the letter as much as I can from the best of my understanding. I've even taken care to read and decipher several of them. I live/work in the Gov world to some extent and a wise person once told me to do only what is REQUIRED and nothing more. If they want to require that and change the written guidance, I will follow. Until then, especially via word-of-mouth or orally, it's recommended according to at least 2 sources directly from the ATF
-
To add another point to SD's relevant NFA Item to Robar transfer. Here is a link directly from the ATF.
https://www.atf.gov/firearms/docs/repair-nfa-firearms/download
"Strongly recommended" does not indicate "Required". This is repeated on the ATF website under the NFA FAQ, and the latest guidance that I know of.
Leave it to the owner's discretion whether a Robar "refinish" is considered a "repair" under these guidelines.
-
Hmm, I wonder how they look/compare to the FFT anodized followers
-
The flag will really be the only difference vs building one yourself. Try gunbroker also if you haven't already. If you can pick one up you can always pay Robar to do the NP3+ on yours...
At least until StrangerDanger starts engraving flags on M4's
-
I'll say they do great work now and then. Sometimes I'm happy, sometimes I'm not. The prices moving forward are going to be prohibitive though
-
The full size is heavier than it looks
That Muzzle Brake is a beast! -
Just a small showoff thread
Just got the SBS back from Robar. Small finish issue on trigger guard outstanding (and a few minor other issues I took care of) and it was good to go.Big thanks to StrangerDanger for all of the guidance/advice and his trigger work! Scalarworks might see something familiar on there too
-
Does the limbsaver plastic base still not quite conform to the back of the stock? Last time I tried one, the plastic hung over the edges by 1/4" or so
-
Also, since he's here, Steve Rose did a killer job on my 870 SBS barrel! Fully recommend his work on 870s too!
-
You're the Steve Rose of Benelli's
One thing he doesn't do though is re-thread Benelli Barrels in the Benelli Thread Pattern, there's a service you could pick up some day!
-
I totally stand behind his work, done a stellar job for me a few times!
-
FFT has made some and they seem like nice people, but....They do not accept the fact that their charging handle is manufactured improperly and does not properly fit (at least my) M4's. It falls out far too easily and rotates far too easily, it simply does not lock/latch properly with the roll pin. I'm using stock Benelli, I like it and that thing is impossible to accidentally fall out. One of the rare pieces that don't really need an upgrade
-
Scalarworks, is it correct that you do not need the Benelli Rail Washers for your rail?
Also, on my two (both NP3+) I use the following RMR. Nickel plated and no batteries required
Trijicon RMR Nickel Boron Dual Illum. Sight - 9.0 MOA Green Dot RM05-C-700065
-
Thanks. I'm not sure which screws to use yet since I don't have the optics yet. I'd assume they are the shorter pair. The instructions didn't show using the rail washers, so I didn't use them. The instructions also call for 10 in. Lbs of torque, which is a lot lower than the OEM specified 16-18 in. Lbs.
I noticed that too, did you go with 10 in lbs?
-
Looks nice!
Just to be clear, you do NOT use the Benelli rail screws or Benelli rail washers at all with the Scalarworks?
Also, which RMR screws are you using, the "long" or the "short" version? 6-32 x 1/2" or 6-32 x 3/8"?
-
Didn't even know about the plates until you brought them up! Buying 2 and going to send them in for NP3+ as well
Yeah I hope it turns out alright, Robar has been hit or miss but they did a **** of a job on the previous M4. Glad you got a good deal, opticsplanet has never had more than 12% off from what I've seen. I bought a Trijicon MRO recently too, it's also a good looking optic as an alternative!
