What changed?

Easy decision (replace), thx SD.

Before I make a trip to Ace, does the nut need to be replaced when the front blade is reinstalled? Feel like I read that somewhere but can’t find it again.

I appreciate the thoughtful response. As a matter of fact, I myself need just one more component to achieve 922r compliance after installing a Carrier Comp 7-rd tube and CC follower, thus my interest. I’ll stay tuned for updates on readiness. -Rex

Hello sir. I’ve been watching your posts since maybe idea inception of your new hammer. I am both intrigued and inclined to buy but, given the criticality of the hammer within the working confines of an auto-shotgun, what compelling argument do you offer to purchase your offering (outside of the obvious 922r compliance gain)? *Asked with the utmost respect

Any chance you recall the size? If no, I can just take the front sight in and figure it out. Thanks Sigma!

Terrific, thanks SD!

Cripes... *lock nut

Can anyone offer a source and part number for the 5.5mm lock but securing the front blade sight on an M4? Thanks in advance.

Nice, good stuff guys, appreciate it. Looks like I’ve got some reading to do!

OH GOOD LAWD! Given that amount of $, is there an optic + mount (for any amount) that would make more sense? *thx SD

Hate to raise the dead, but does Trijicon make replacement tritium sites for the M4? Regardless, are Meprolite’s “good enough”?

Good stuff Sukhoi, got some of the #4 buck incoming. Looking forward to performance on the range.

Appreciate the input truckcop. TSLE321 00 is exactly the 00 buck I bought a case of. Couldn’t believe how tight and consistent the spread was, though some of that could be attributed to the M4 itself I guess. Even at reduced velocity, do you not see the LE321 as an over-penetration risk in an HD scenario?

With all due respect, please call Benelli.

Thanks for the input Sukhoi. Pretty sure “T-shot” is in reference to Hevi’s use of tungsten for some of their shot (vs lead, steel, etc.). Though cool and logically sound given tungsten’s density, I’d say that’s definitely bordering on exotic. I also tend toward tried and true I like Federal’s offerings for the majority of my firearms. Following your link I found a #4 buck “Personal Defense” round. Might see if I can find that locally to give it a try. https://www.federalpremium.com/shotshell/premium-personal-defense/personal-defense-shotshell/11-PD156+4B.html If things ever go from bad to worse, I still have the 00 and slugs to fall back on.

Yeah, buck #4 is something I’ve read a lot about recently. Would be happy to stock & load this if anywhere close to the general consensus. For example: Hevi-shot’s Dead Coyote loads continue to come up among several other options.

... and by “rethinking”, I didn’t do a significant amount of thinking beyond a few hours of web reading and coming to the conclusion that a case of Federal LE 00 and a case of Federal LE slug should meet my needs. For context, I keep 7+1+1 of LE 00 loaded and always in the safe. The more I think about it though, I have a family of four in a typical CA home and, should I ever have to deploy the M4 in an HD situation, I will have to make split-second decisions about in what direction I can’t let 00 fly because I have kids or a wife sleeping in that direction. My question: I know ammo choice is about as personal as that of underwear or personal vehicle, but can any of you offer links/SMEs/etc. on how to make an informed decision on 12ga. HD ammo? Totally understand and appreciate the “try and test” recommendations but, for obvious reasons, “testing” 12ga. HD ammo in appropriately dynamic situations isn’t really an option. So I’m left asking for help deciding on 12ga. HD ammo. Any thoughts, references or data is highly appreciated.

SD- You’re the man. And thanks. It’s not wearing its custom padded BFG sling in that photo, but is a work in progress for sure. Maybe someday I’ll get on your level. Searching for that bit PN though, I stumbled onto a FS thread of yours for the 3-position tubes. If you happen to have one available seven years later, msg me. I’d rather pay you than Benelli.

I did a bunch of searching on this topic before posting but still have Q’s. Is this all I need to convert my US-compliant M1014 fixed skeletonized stock to adjustable?: My M1014 today: Last, any recommended sites/threads on making this conversion? I keep reading about needing heat (MAPP comes up a lot) but I haven’t yet found a write up on making the switch. Thanks in advance.

Thank you sir.

SD- You’ve designed and built a professional tool for professional use, but do you- or anyone reading this- have a novice-grade recommendation for polishing the internal surface of a CC Ti tube? Thanks in advance.

I have this set and they’re worth every cent. All of the various benefits SD mentions, haven’t yet found a use that this kit didn’t meet.

This is awesome SD, thanks for sharing (and for the jumpstart to the forum). Question: Why continue to mess with the Noveski Adapter Plate when the Limbsaver 10403 doesn’t require it?

Welcome to the club. I had the same issue with my new M1014, this might help:
