Ive never even seen one, but considering the amount of people that want one, **** I want one. LOL
It's amazing how that works!

What are we complaining about again? They’re making the black anodized units for the M4 crowd. Their original market was 3 gunners who don’t care what color they were/are since the ramp is going to get scuffed up when loading anyway. The guy at A&S emailed me a month or so ago and asked what direction I thought the M4 crowd would like to go since I bought a bunch of these units.
I advised that they should move their logo markings to the inside for cosmetics along with either anodizing or Cerakoting the visible area. We’ll see what we get. Sometimes you have to be careful what you ask for. You could end up with rough type 3 anodizing that won’t operate as smoothly as the existing finish. It’s easy enough to have to visible areas Cerakoted whatever color you want if it’s a concern.
I found a hair in my chicken salad today..I have a black A&S coming Monday, Ill post some pics.
Double Sweet!
Thanx gents!

Same spec, I'm in for ONE

Was online with Fred at A&S the other day, there finishing up a test run on black guards soon and trying to dial in the color just right. Will post pics as soon as I get mine from him.
Don't tease me...

The only thing I wish they would change is how "up front" the logo is.
Other than that, they look killer.

A big middle finger salute to Photobucket for messing up all my image URL's. Just spent a couple hours moving the pictures to Imagru. Hopefully we won't have any issues for a while.
Their site has been irritating for years. I always hated when people hosted their images there.
The last few months will go down as colossally stupid I believe.

unnecessary. Drive the pin in flush with the wall, drop the spring in, GENTLY EVER SO GENTLY, proceed to drive the pin in further until it pushes the spring against the opposite wall but doesn't "pin" it. Then compress the spring and shift it midline so that it impinges against the underside of the pin. Visually verify. use a flashlight. Proceed to finish driving the pin him. I did this 4-5 times the other day with narry an issue swapping stuff around.
I see what ya did there...
Thanx!

Snap ring pliers and some punches. One of those Glock tools works well if you don't have a full punch set. The safety is the biggest pain. It's hard to get the pin back in place without damaging the spring. I drive the pin about half way in to the visible hole, then compress the spring with a punch so it is held in place under the roll pin. Then carefully drive the pin the rest of the way in.
The trigger packs look complicated, but they really aren't that tough.
I agree they should have just went with a black finish and left off the laser engraving.
Thanx! I have everything except how to handle the safety pin.
I thought there was a way to grind a small screwdriver to do that. Make it like a fork.

See you at the poor house Les - the cots are nice.
Indeed! Looks like plenty of company there though.
What special tools would be required for the swap out of parts?
Is the safety the only snag on this?

DOH!
Can't use that one...

WOW! Wish I had not seen SD's beauty with that guard on it.
Must resist...

Yes, I'm back to an m4, and yes, there are aftermarket aluminum trigger guards currently on the market for the m4.
My gun is a stock LE gun, in regards to the FCG. I think the Guard is Poly, but it looks very similar to the metal one you had in your post, but not quite the same.

Les:
The trigger group with design on the bottom of the trigger guard is the metal one.
The dark black one with the plastic mold mark down the center is the poly one.
That's what Has me confused. Mine doesn't look like either one.
It looks very similar to the metal one, but not the same, and feels like Plastic. It is also Dark Black. It is definitely not like the Poly one in the PIX
-
Trigger pull on my plastic fcg was slightly better than on my metal one.
The plastic has less material at the stock end, and has more material over the hammer, and shows more machine marks but less flashing, in photos above.
I'm gonna hold you down and pull a tooth out your head!
The bottom one in the pix is the metal FCG?
I'm wondering about mine, it looks kinda like the bottom group but does not have that decoration on the bottom of the Finger guard.
Mine really doesn't look like either one of yours you have pictured.
-
Which one is which in your Photos?
-
I'll kick myself whenever another run of handles is done! I'd kind of feel bad if I gouged someone that badly, what is that, 900% markup? I tried to finance 500 of them from carriercomp to motivate them to do another run - went nowhere.
Why doesn't FFT or TTI make these correctly? I mean those guys are in the business of making these kinda parts. I'm surprised they haven't stepped up since a market exists.

I am running one of these charging handles on my 3-gun shotgun. It is definitely not a safe queen and has seen some serious use. It has held up very well. I wouldn't sell mine for $500 either.

Would ya take 5 Hen's teeth for it?

As we say in the US of A, Gracias Amigo!

I sleep with mine on my chest.
This is my Shotgun, there are many like it, but this one is mine...

Looks really sharp for sure.
And getting one more Cheese Grater off one of my guns is a Good Thing!

I really like the Mossberg 500 series shotguns. However out of all the big name gun companies that make pump actions Mossberg has in my opinion the worst quality control out of the bunch. I know from first hand experience. I bought 2 Mossberg pumps in the last 5 years and they both had issues. The first one was a brand new 590 that came from the factory put together wrong and the other one was a brand new 590a1 with major rust issues inside the barrel. Both problems had to be corrected by my local gunsmith. It was impossible to get through to Mossberg's customer service to have them deal with it. That's why I went Benelli and Remington. Their quality control seems to be better then Mossberg's. The fit and finish on my nova and 870 are way better then any Mossberg I've ever owned.
I'm going to get a 590A1, I'll make a list of thinmgs to examine before I accept it.
I would want a well sorted 590A1 over the 2 you have. Just my opinion.
My resons:
I'm sure the Benelli is a great gun, just not as much "stuff" out there as far as accessories. And not sure about the reliability of it RE the 590A1
I like the layout of the 500 series better than the 870 series.
So personally, if I were looking at a Universe of these THREE shotguns, and I was looking at these three.
I chose to get the 590A1.
I'll just have to be picky about the one I accept and sort out any issues.

I think BigBuckeye is a Hitchcock fan!
Because he's workin some strange angles there!
Paper or Plastic?

I realize these guys are proud of their product and their company.
I would wear a Polo shirt with a 1" Polo logo on it. (I actually prefer Perlis to Polo for these types of shirts, I like their Logo better too having lived in New Orleans)
The current Polo shirts have like a 6" Logo on them. I would not buy one of those. Or I would get one and dye the Logo the same color as the shirt(I wouldn't do that but use it as an example of my idea here)
What would be wrong with CNC'ing the Logo before the anodization? The Logo would be there, however it would not be a Neon Sign though.
The competition guys don't mind because they are usually a Mosaic of Gaudy Logos. But I would prefer a more stealthy approach to the Logo.
