I have a bad shoulder now and the idea of hooking up a 12 gauge to it is not appealing. I got the M4 as a bear gun, my other option is a .45/70 in the long guns category. Anybody here shot them both with Grizzly rounds? How would you rank the recoil?

I didn't want to do any of these Fore ends. I think they mess with the classic look, the others were just too much for me. But this one has me really thinking I would like to do it. The other thing is, these gadgets are limited in their lifespans(availability), but this shotgun will be forever for me, so you kinda got to jump when these things are available, or as they say on TV, "to forego future regret". These products by RX are tasteful and well thought out. I really appreciate these things you come up with for us! I am on a Land Cruiser forum and we got a guy who grants our wishes and repair needs with an Engineering degree and a 3D printer as well.

Just curious, does this work with the Impact weapons light/sling mount?

You may want to look into Briley's trigger job instead.

I had a problem understanding the dipstick reference as well.

What is the height of your mount compared to the Scalarworks? Can you show some PIX of the tie into the optical mount. I can't believe I am doing this...

I may have to get one of these... Ohhh my... It would look awesome with my Carlson Breacher Choke!

Get some good measurements from some folks here and it looks like you could do that, clever fellow that you are. Isn't the muzzle end floating?

RxArms, thanx for doing this stuff! Hope you at least make enough $$ to keep you interested in doing this type of thing for a while. How much does the guard weigh? Looks awesome BTW, nice work! Have you thought of doing QD cups on the front mount? Or is that covered by the M-Lok?

What is a M4 T-Pro? It looks like a Europe only thing. I was wondering if anybody knew if some of the different parts on it fit the "Regular" M4? Like the Bolt release?

And can we really assign a Value to awesomeness...

SD, If i get the AS Housing and send it off to Briley for their trigger, that parts would i have to buy to leave my poly trigger group stock? Safety I know, I have a Tararn Tactical lifter as well. What would the additional parts cost?

I bought the M4 mainly as a Bear Defense gun for my retirement dream of RVing to Alaska. Has anyone taken an M4 into Canada? I have all the bits that should make it legal like a Field stock and 5 rd mag, etc. It's not clear to me if I could take it.

Sounds like the circus is back in town... Video would be preferable ?

Good deal! The thing to remember is that if the trigger has not been pulled, ie as in discharging a round, a shell won't drop unless you hit the shell drop. So to get a shell moving... Pull trigger, shell drops at the same time. Or hit shell drop, and shell drops onto the lifter. This is handy if you are cocked and chambered with 00, and want to load a slug. You rack out the 00, then rack again to lempty the shell lifter, and then you can put the slug in thru the ejection port without loading another shell off the now empty lifter. This is what you want to get down when you play around with the Dummy rounds. Welcome to the Benelli M4 Fraternity!

Ohh, I don't know why it tells you to hold back the bolt BTW. You can lock it back. Also, not simultaneously, just pull the bolt back and then hit the shell drop. Get some dummy's and play around with it, it did that soon as I got the gun. Much fun can be had there!

I'm not the most knowledgeable person to respond to this but I'll give it a try and make a suggestion. The M4 has an interesting and sometimes confusing "manual of arms", at least to me, a non shotgun type person. It is saying indirect because you are loading the magazine and then letting the shotgun action load the chamber. A direct load would be to pull the bolt back and drop a shell in through the ejection port, let the bolt go and the shell goes directly into the chamber. You have to know about the cartridge drop because if the trigger has not been pulled and the shotgun has been cocked, you can rack the bolt all day long and it won't load a shell unless you hit that cartridge drop. This can be very handy for switching out slugs and buckshot. So a suggestion would be to buy 4, or 5 or more Dummy shotgun shells and play around with them. Will help with your next task which is to learn Ghost Loading, it comes after the indirect loading lesson! ?

I kept the M600DF on my M4 as well. The Rein is a bit large, and it is a thrower more than a Flooder. I like the Surefire cause it's a good compromise for a shotgun. The Rein will go better on an AR maybe.

I have 3 different levels of Elzetta strength. I use them still on occasion to look in a closet or a crevice. I cannot believe how much more light I have gotten used to. They seem like incandescent now!

Both work for me

I've got an extra set I could send you, but I'm hanging onto them in case I screw up my DIY stippling job. My practice runs have not been pretty, so maybe you shouldn't rely on mine... ?

I do see how the lack of hole may make the Doge tool even more interesting...

Give your feedback and technique when you get a chance. Thanx for the insight thusfar.

Now I get it, thanx!

Can you explain what you mean here? I'm pretty ignorant about the M4 compared to most of the guys here. I did open it up and play around with it. It certainly solves the issue I had with the LOP.
