    Thanks guys for the warm welcome, I appreciate it. You guys have confirmed what I highly suspected. NP3 being a far

    more superior product and justification to my displeasure in finding out in my post-purchase scenario.

     

    Ive ordered an A&S trigger housing in black and from what I understand there due to ship this week.

    The Scalarworks sync rail is currently out of stock, the replenishment order was due on the 23rd but has been now pushed to the 27th because of a messed up batch of hardware. New hardware is now in rout from Nylok.

    Got the new tube on and the RMR in front of me but for now she sits....waiting....

     

    Beautiful gun you got there SD! I look forward to hanging out and soaking in as much as I can from you all.

    Thank you!

    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.

    Project M1014 is coming together...will update as parts arrive!

    Like StrangerDanger said, the M4 stock assembly is a pain in the butt to get apart....I found that holding the flame of a Bic lighter from underneath was the easiest way of heating the Loctite up before removal. This is a picture of what the hardware looks like once you get it out of the M4...(minus the silver nut and washer)

    I just pulled this out because Im adding a Mesa to a M4..

    Do you have a necessity for additional shells to be with the shotgun? If I was using a fixed pistol grip stock or field stock, I'd disassemble the sling assembly and install one of these Mesa units in the rear. They're a pain in the butt to get apart, but it is doable.

    It works out well indeed, I did it on a M3 a few years back. I cut the unit in half and welded it back together in a different configuration for this particular project...I shortened the lop about an inch so adjusting it was necessary so that it would fit and didnt rub my arm.

    Hello everybody, thank you all for such a wonderful forum filled with great information and helpful Benelli owners!

     

    Ive owned my Benelli M3 now for over 15 years now and love it. For the last five or so Ive been contemplating the purchase of an M4 to see if Ive been missing out on anything.

    Ive had FTF with my M3 over the years, it surly doesn't like low-brass and I cant help but think its all because of the inertia operated platform.

    Money is tight but Ive always been a "eggs in one basket" type of guy, meaning Id rather own one very good product rather than a bunch of so-so or average products. So I study and save for the best.

    A few weeks ago I bit the bullet and purchased a brand new Benelli M4 H2O (11795). I had told myself that if I were to buy one; it would be one of the more water proof/friendly offerings. I wouldn't kick myself this time over NOT spending a little more for this feature. Besides, if your spending this kinda money on a shotgun you might as well buy the undercoating right?

    I don't really care for the look of the silver tone H2O, Im a black/grey gun fan. But I figured that if Im gaining unparalleled weatherproofing Id compromise. So by now most of you have figured out why Im "bummed out"....somehow the studying I had done failed to interject the fact that the new H2O models are not NP3 treated like I thought but simply Ceracoated in a silver NP3 color.

    Its almost misleading. Sure, the Ceracoat may add a little extra protection but I can think of plenty of colors Id rather have had it Ceracoated in.

     

    How does Ceracoat compare to NP3?

     

    First world problems...whining about the color of your new $2000.00 shotgun.:rolleyes:

     

    Also, when did they start making the Trigger guards out of used milk jugs? Where can I buy a metal one?
