I think that it's probably that the tube just turned out to be darker than some, or most, for whatever reason.
In any case, I just posted my pictures so that anyone (such as JRCOWBOY) considering a muted finish titanium tube looking for a good match to their H20 gun, might consider that they may not end up with a good match.
Especially after waiting and anticipating for 3+ months.
-
Yep. Well that's what I ended up with on mine. I really don't mind it much but, would have been happier if it matched better.
Actually, your picture against the tree in indirect sunlight looks to me as a good match to my picture in indirect sunlight on the river rock.
Or, maybe I just have an ultra bright NP3 plating on my H20. It stands to reason that even Robar guns probably had a slight variation in finish production, right?
-
This is a "muted finish"CC titanium tube on my Robar vintage NP3 H20 Benelli. As you can see, in most lighting conditions, it does not match the NP3 plating at all. In some lighting conditions it looks similar but, mostly it looks almost like a parkerized finish.
When I first got it, I called Marcie and texted her pictures of it on my gun and asked if they mistakenly sent me a tube for a standard finish M4.
She told me no, that this is how the muted titanium finish looks. So, unless I was lied to (and I don't think that I was) or, I just got a one-off weird example tube, then this is what you get.
Now maybe, their muted finish tube matches a cerakote M4 model better but this is what I ended up with on my original NP3 H20 model.

As for myself, when I first got my M4, I tried cleaning the barrel of lead streaks and melted plastic with kid gloves. I found it to be an impossible endeavor. After wearing myself out and wasting a lot of time trying to clean the bore, I read about using a bronze brush, a length of rod, and a cordless drill.
I don't waste time anymore.

Hello All,
I'm new to this forum. I may have posted once before. Can someone direct me where to go sell my AVA Tactical Benelli M4 Mounting System? I purchased it from AVA a while ago and didn't care for it. It sits in my safe taking up space. Please advise
I think you're at the right place...there have been a few people here lately posting looking to buy one.
-
Looks pretty good from a distance and for 550 bucks would make an excellent range fun gun and to give the Benelli a rest/keep for more serious duty.
Can you even buy a Glock for 550 bucks anymore?

Have you tried one of those Hoppes Tornado brushes ?
Hey, no, I haven't but Iv'e heard good things about them- thanks.
-
I used to meticulously clean my firearms after every shooting session because I enjoyed it. Not so much anymore.....now it's more like a PITA, or Iv'e become lazy. Probably a combination of the two.
With the Benelli M4 what I really hate doing is cleaning the melted plastic residue from the shot shells out of the bore.
An electric drill and a rod segment with a bronze or SS brush attached has made the chore easier but, I still hate doing it.
So I put it off until I really feel like doing it.....

I had a similar experience with Springfield Armory. I purchased an M1A and had it for 10 years, shot thousands of rounds thru it. I began to notice peening of the metal on the inside of the receiver caused by the bolt travel.
The rifle functioned normally without any issues but, I thought what the hell, I'll see if they'll replace the receiver. So I called them, they emailed me a shipping label, I sent it to them along with a note telling of my concerns. Two weeks later I had a new receiver.
Good customer service is invaluable. Hope you have good luck with yours.
-
One thing I just noticed from your pic of the receiver's side is that dot-matrix method of the "m4" instead of the roll mark that they used to do. Man, I really don't like that!

Thanks for checking!
Just got back from a frustrating trip at the range.
Turns out the front sight base is canted to the left and in order to sight it in the front sight has to be shifted all the way to the right and the rear sight has to be moved almost all the way left.
Called the company and they requested a photo, which I will also attach to this thread.
I also left a message for a Mr. Orr who is the Repair Manager in regards to the machine marks in the hopes that he will be a bit more understanding.
I am truly not upset because the gun is a lemon, I'm simply frustrated that Benelli has thus far refused to remedy the situation.
Really sloppy workmanship and this one should never have left the factory. I agree with your sentiments completely.

Wow, that escalated quickly. I am just stating that I have ordered several items from Benelli parts and have not had an issue. Ego...LOL, I am just another random guy on the interwebs who likes firearms. Cheers to you and thanks for your service.
LOL.....how did you figure that it would end? Calling people who have legitimate complaints against this clown "whiners" and telling them to "grow up". That their complaints are "to be taken with a grain of salt".
I'd say that would tend to piss off most people who feel that they have a legit complaint about anything.

Beautiful work ruger!!!!! Have you thought about using eBay?
-
My vote is for CarrierComp titanium. Why? Because it's impossible to be disappointed, theirs is simply the nicest one made.
-
SD has already made an offer of 500 pieces. That's a lot, and they turned him down. Why the obsession with this? It's like people bugging Geissele to make M4 hammers again.
CC is obviously happy just to turn out mag tubes and for whatever reason, they don't share why they don't want to get into bolt handles or other parts that they made in the past.
If they wanted to again start making them, they would have already a long time ago.

Just to add one little bit more of info i just found. My bank statement says the payment i made was to antonie.....so address, payment, and inventory are all going and coming from benelliparts.net. So this is no longer a friend or him selling on the side as someone else, this now shows him directly profiting from this as he controls the inventory and takes the payments.
Yes, it's very simple.....everyone in the community sees what happens when much desired parts become scarce. So on one hand a "store" or website is out of stock., then the natural progression in the quest leads one to gun broker where, as always, items that are scarce from suppliers can be found on GB for inflated, sometimes grossly inflated prices.
Hypothetically, someone can create their own little niche in the scarcity market by maintaining an "out of stock" profile on their website or store, but selling at an inflated price under a not immediately recognizable user name on GB.
Most people probably shrug and say "well, that's business". As for me, I think the same way that you do about it.
Thanks for the heads up.

Ditch the red dot sight and zero with your irons and see how you do. Personally, I don't like or trust those things for any kind of precise shots at a distance of more than 30 feet..

So will the 10403 fit the field stock too ?
Absolutely. The 10403 fits the field stock exactly the same as the solid pistol grip stock. And you use the screws that are from the OEM butt pad.
Iv'e installed the 10403 on the field stock I have. So I know it works.

Ok.. but when I call and am told that my shit will be sent out “ tomorrow “, and tomorrow is more than 10 days later... bullshit is bullshit. Just be honest! And maybe put on the order page what you said... just be honest and forthright... maybe Biden has stock in this company??
I get what you're saying. I hate being told faulty or untrue info, but...it happens sometimes. You just get the wrong person on the phone. Did you order a custom sling?
I ask because I just looked at their website and they do say almost exactly what I stated: https://www.blueforcegear.com/custom-padded-vickers-sling
Anyway not here to argue. In fact, I never used the sling I bought from them. I use the Magpul sling. I found that the BFG webbing material was very stiff and abrasive for my taste. The Magpul sling web material is much softer and pliable. So, the BFG sling sits idle in my safe.....

I ordered a BFG sling more than two weeks ago! Called 10 days ago, was told over the phone it would ship “ tomorrow “... well, it still has not shipped! But they sure charged me right away!! First time dealing with this company.. might be my last! A little basic comm goes a long way!! And it’s fricking FREE!!!
I have purchased from BFG and they tell you on the web ordering site that they are filling military orders as a priority. ALSO, they make the sling you order as the order comes in, because each sling is custom tailored as to which color sliders you want, what colors you want for the front, the rear, the pull strap, etc.. They don't have a bunch of pre made slings sitting on a shelf ready to ship.
Just be patient, they are a good company.

I just looked at a couple of online retailers that I have used in the past and saw that a single box of 50 range type ammo in .45 ACP or 9 MM Federal ammo is listed for 78$.
I never have given in to the old capitalist mantras of "supply and demand" or the "the market sets the price."
To me it has always been just an excuse used to justify price when people become desperate for something to rip people off and make huge profit margins while the desperation lasts.
F them!

I'm still looking for that spot. Can you share?
Well...... in my case, I pull the bolt back far enough so that only about a quarter inch of it is still visible at the ejection port window, that's just shy of it actuating the elevator..... then I drop a shell down with the rear of it as far back as it can go and press it down till I feel/hear a snap. Then holding my thumb on top of the shell. I release the bolt forward. Others probably have a different way to do it but that's how I do it.

Hey Les. where ya been man?? Iv'e never had a malfunction from having one left on the elevator and then racking the bolt to chamber however, if I push the shell on it and the bolt is too far to the rear, when I close the bolt, it activates the elevator and chambers the round. I found that there is a sweet spot when dropping one on the elevator so the bolt won't activate it and chamber it.
What kinda malfunction are you talking about?
Which charging handle to get ?

Yeah, I don't consider that part as a necessary change either. But I'm not a John Wick type operator either.
