Hey all, I did some searching but didn’t come up with anything. The issue: I was shooting some birdshot and clays in my backyard, and started screwing around by trying to shoot from the hip/behind my back and such. It turns out, the m4 wouldn’t cycle when the gun wasn’t fired from my shoulder. I thought the gas operated system would have mitigated such an issue, and I understand that m2’s and recoil operates guns have this issue a bit more. I haven’t tried buck shot like this, but I suspect that’ll solve the problem. I’m just wondering if this is a common/acceptable issue with light loads or if there is anything I can do to help resolve this. i understand what’s going on with the failure to eject, but again, seems like the m4 should be able to handle this. thanks guys!

Thank you for the help. I think I will unscrew it once.

Hey all, I am the proud new owner of a Benelli m4. I wanted a field stock, but didn't find any locally so just went ahead and got the regular pistol grip model and purchased a field stock from Benelli's website. Install simply enough I unscrewed the old stock, screwed on the new stock. Of course, by the time I got it to where it should be it was a massive pain to get on, and very tight. I also had some issues getting the notch lined up right with the trigger guard to reinstall it, but I eventually got it. Now for my question, the plastic on the stock where it meets the receiver is flared out a little like it is too tight. Did I screw it on a full revolution too far? It doesn't seem like it would have been quite tight enough there, but I'm not sure. As I am typing this I figure I should have snapped a picture before it went in the safe, but I figure you guys can understand what I am saying. I will say that I think the field stock is incredibly more comfortable than the pistol grip.
