Have you considered using a slightly taller mount? I prefer to use QD mounts so that the front & rear sights can be used if desired.

Have you seen any civil rights attorneys? I would ASAP. File suit and seek a HUGE verdict or settlement. I know that just screws the taxpayers, but ya gotta do what you gotta do to keep the authoritarians in check.

Was the M4 lubed at all? When I bought a Beretta 92FS, it wouldn't function. That was disappointing, but after I lubed it, it functioned flawlessly ever since. For that reason, I always lube any new gun. Some may argue that an M4 shouldn't require lube, but I lube.

I don't think it's even possible to use a stock like that due to the angle of the tube the stock would have to fit over top of. I do wish Magpul would make a C stock though and not gouge us on the price. I think they would sell out even if it were a limited run at a very high price so I can't imagine them not selling out if they kept trickling them out over time at a lower price point. I mean when have they ever not sold every one of their 'special projects'?

Are you saying it locks up/jams while racking it empty?

You should probably take the existing stock off to confirm before spending $600.00 on a collapsible stock. I see people selling them for $740 and $800 depending on where you look. Insane.

I've shot bird, buck and slugs through my Benelli M4 which I believe comes with a modified choke installed.

I 3D print my own dummy rounds and glue the brass of a spent round to the printed body. 3D printers can be had for as low as $185.00 and tons of uses for them. Only costs pennies to print a dummy round. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4800594

If you do a review on it, I'd look forward to reading it. I've seen YouTube videos that show installing the plastic end pieces are a bit tricky, but the recommendation to put them in boiling water for a bit might be a good idea. I'd probably try that only if I felt it warranted it after having struggles initially. I always assumed the Truckee was polymer and realized only recently that it is aluminum.

Check out the Mesa Tactical Truckee forend. They have a 8-1/2", 11" and a 15" version.

Just because Taran Tactical was mentioned, I had to post this video from their YouTube channel.

Yup, I use a SPARC with the lowest Bobro mount on my M4. I also swapped out the picatinny rail to replace the stock rail that has the cut down the center. That's a must for Bobro and LaRue mounts.

Perhaps it could be the brand of velcro used. I used 3M Industrial Velcro if I recall correctly.

How long did you wait before pulling the card off? It's a common mistake to pull it right away. If you do it will come right off. You have to leave it overnight at least first then it cannot release from the weapon.

If it proves reliable, that's a pretty nice score. I hope it functions well.

What's not to like. I like the longer version. It has Mlok for attaching a light and QD sling socket. It's the best handguard on the market today for the M4.

They've been making those for multiple uses so I'm sure it will work as advertised. I prefer QD sling sockets on all of my ARs, shotguns and other rifles. I'd certainly use one of those on my Benelli M4 if I had the collapsible stock.

I can't believe no one is cloning collapsible Benelli M4 stocks by now.

Esstac is what I have and prefer it over Mesa Tactical's aluminum ones. Esstac cards hold shells MUCH better.

I went with Freedom Fighter Tactical because they were readily available, no waiting times and functions as well as any other option.

Very nice. One part that I really appreciate is the GG&G bolt release pad. It ranks right up there with your light/sling mount in my opinion. I like the GG&G product much more than any other option I've ever seen. I have aluminum and velcro side saddles and prefer the Esstac Shotgun Cards. I know is sounds stupid to velcro something to such a nice shotgun, but the aluminum ones really aren't all they're cracked up to be. Shells fall out of the aluminum ones, but are simple to load. Esstac cards hold shells securely, but a bit harder to load. I prefer shell retention over simplicity to load any day because they are supposed to be 'shell holders'. I put shell carriers on the receiver of all my shotguns.

I wouldn't be surprised if one or more of these mad lads subscribes you to several different telephone solicitors ?

Strike Industries should be able to easily improve their handguard design by beefing up the area a little bit and use nylon tipped set screws.

Where did you leave it last?

I read that Benelli's pattent ran out or something like that and that is why copies are now coming out. If that is true, that would be why copies never came out in the past.
