Steve, can you still ghost load with this setup? From your description I would say yes, but would like your first hand experience. Thanks in advance.

J-Kenny auto loading lifter Anyone familiar with these? Curious since I’ve never heard of them and have no idea how they work.

Heat shrink tubing also holds up well. I did some AK parts like that and have held up well. I even multi-layered it on the charging handle to add more diameter.

I don’t think it will stay on and rub off easily. You’d be better off trying with some kind of bed liner that is made to take a beating. Problem is that you can’t buy a small amount. I use Herculiner on the bottom of my flat feet bipods for better grip and it can take serious beating.

Yes he does. I have a bunch of his stuff he makes for SCARs.

Instead of dragging this post off topic, I say we all continue this great discussion on the new post created ShootingSight. ShootingSight M4 hammer

I’m definitely down for one. Count me in.

Art. For some reason it’s bouncing back my emails saying it’s an invalid email address.

Awesome Art! Thanks for doing this.

That’s why I went that route when somebody else informed me. Thought I’d share it since it’s quite a game changer when it comes to choosing self defense optics.

Get an RMR, SRO or Aimpoint Micro and you’ll be able to keep it on 24/7/356. I swap the batteries on my birthday and never turn it off. Always on when I need it.

Thanks but I don’t think these are factory part numbers. They must be Numrich specific numbers. I looked up a few parts and cross referenced with others like Benelli Parts, Brownells, Midway and Midwest. The part numbers coincide with each other but not with Numrich. I could be wrong since I’m not an expert at ordering Benelli parts.

Anyone know where I can find a list of the factory part numbers for the Benelli M4? Can only find exploded views, but it doesn’t have the part numbers for ordering. Thanks in advance.

You could also grind down the wings. My 870 ghost ring doesn’t have the wings and you do have a much better field of view. I may go ahead and do it myself.

I got the GG&G bolt release for a few reasons. It wasn’t a modify your existing one type of kit. It comes complete with the whole assembly. I can handle to modifying but I did this to have a spare. Second it doesn’t have huge logos all over it. Third it has a slot so it doesn’t rotate. Fourth it doesn’t stick out as much as other either.

You can’t do that on the M4. The trigger has a slot that goes into the stock. It’s what stops the stock from coming loose. If you install trigger before stock, you won’t be able to install the stock because the trigger will get in the way.

1. First time I installed it, it did move while practicing dummy loading. It was because I had only slightly tightened it. After that I tightened it down well and it hasn’t budged after many life fire training sessions and a match. I’m easily over 1000 rounds with it on. Make sure you tighten down the magazine tube cap first, and check that barrel is seated properly against receiver, before tightening set screws. Otherwise the front set screws will sit on the edge of the front mounting location. 2. They have not moved. They do leave a small “dimple” in the finish of the front set screws. Doesn’t bother me but it could bother some. I actually went and made a small recess with the Dremel, so that the set screws have a fixed location to grab. 3. I used blue loctite and it has worked well. Hasn’t loosened, and wasn’t an issue removing forend. I have removed it several times and haven’t had to reapply loctite yet. Like many, I agree that it’s not a great setup with the set screws, but I do like the feel of the grip and Mlok feature. Until something better comes out, this has been doing the job well, despite having to use tools to strip down the shotgun.

I like to be able to pick up the shotgun and have as much ammo on it as possible. I’m not always wearing something that allows me to put stuff in my belt. Winning matches is not my priority. I use them as training and getting me out of my comfort zone. I agree on the Hayl handguard, but until something better becomes available, it works for me.

Here’s another screen shot practicing loads. You can see I don’t use muscles at all. Elbow is against body and shotgun is supported up on shoulder. I don’t invert shotgun completely like some do. Makes getting back on target faster too since I don’t have to adjust hands. Have been doing it this way for quite some time with my 870. Long before the 3Gun fad started.

Weight matters more when I’m shooting and arm is extended and holding up long gun. Not during loading because my shoulder holds the weight. My primary rifle is a G36C precisely because it’s light. A&S trigger frame is definitely in the plans in the near future. Very well designed.

I have a somewhat weird way of doing things for a good reason. I was hit by a car and nearly lost my left arm. I’ve had many operations to recover it, and I nearly had it back up 100%. Unfortunately it’s started failing again and I have a hard time keeping it in shape. Due to this, I primarily shot handguns with my right only for many years. That jacked up my tendons in my right arm. Especially because I only shot .40 all those years. I have very little arm strength, so I started loading my shotgun on my shoulder so I wouldn’t have to strong arm it. Long before it as a thing with quad loads. Once load two and four started happening, I just kept doing it the same way. I have the hand stops because of a weak grip. I can’t just hold with a lot of strength in my hands. I just pull on the hand stops. I do the same with my rifles. I do adjust my grip like you, but what I do is shift the hand stop back and forth between my fingers when needed. I generally don’t change my grip when loading. You can see it in the screenshot of a POV video I shot at last Gunfighter match. In the pic I’m wearing a glove on my left hand so I don’t burn myself on the hot barrel. I only load two for the same hand issues. Besides having small hands, I have a hard time retaining the four shells due to the tendon and muscles issues. Despite all that, I still shoot as much as I can and love doing it.

12 pounds will full load out and sling.

Ghost load included? No clue. I guess I should weigh it out of curiosity. Will do it and get back to you on that.

No adapter. Just lube screwdriver and remove hardware from factory buttpad. I comes with a choke that has thread on the end and you thread it to that. It’s specific for the M4. You’ll see when you look it up. I would recommend a lower profile one. Mine had a thick base which makes it stick out a lot. Will eventually swap it out. There’s a ton out there. Look up “match saver”.

Limbsaver 10403 Standoff breacher is original Benelli made for M4. Taccom match saver. There are much lower profile ones out there I just happen to have this one laying around in the spares box for my 870. I’ve seen ones with M-Lok mounts too
