How about a video demo on your YouTube channel?
There will be some videos this summer from YouTubers. I’ll post links when they are up.

Love the color of your gun, mine is blue but lighter, yours is the perfect blue. Lucky!
this particular receiver is an older gun from around 2013 or so I believe (still has the aluminum trigger assembly), I have a couple other M4s and to be honest I just shoot em and I haven't even looked at the colour of the receiver hue 🤷♂️

Can you maybe add a piece that closes that floating gap? As in 90 degrees piece down to touch the barrel so if the guard is pressed down it does move, I feel like that could strengthen and stabilize it. My only concern is that without it it will eventually wiggle in the front.
There will always be movement with all the components up there (barrel, mag tube etc). It is very stiff, I’ve been testing with a 2 cell weapon light, and have had no issues with the front touching the barrel.
it is 1/8” thick…

The IWC light mount clamps onto the same part of the barrel but it has a lip that fits into the sling mount groove. They also put sling QD mount on the bottom of each side.
When you designed your mounting bracket do you look at how IWC did theirs?
Yes. However, their bracket clamp method is “proprietary” so I didn’t pursue that path.
additionally, the rear barrel hanger is known to be off Center at times. On all my guns none of them have a straight rear barrel hanger, and all of them are different. I’ve come up with a solution to offset the clamp to center it for the user, which would not be possible using the same clamp design as the IWC.
There are plenty of mlok slots to mount a QD on the heat shield, the bracket doesn’t need one. And the user can put their QD wherever they want. Some will want far forward, some will prefer near the rear barrel hanger, so I decided to let the user do what they want.

I like what you have there. It’s different than the majority of M4s. However, the only sensible solution is to get a black M4 and keep the H2O as well.
This is the way.

I did forget to mention, that if you use my cap on a tube without a retaining spring, you will get an extra 0.15” of spring space Vs the OEM. I know 7 shell in the tube is tight with certain loads. The 0.15” extra might be able to give that little bit more that is needed.
I tried to hollow out the cap as much as I could to give more room for the spring.

I use this and never had any issues. It goes on sale from time to time.
VANPO Digital Torque Screwdriver 2.66-53.1 in-lbs/0.3-6 Nm, Adjustable Screwdriver Torque Wrench Set with Buzzer/LED Indicator Notification for Bike Repairing, Tools, Maintenance and Mounting
I also use that same one but a different brand in Canada. (I’m sure from the same factory in China).
it is a good quality torque screw driver with fine tuning of the torque values. It also has a low +-2% range which is lower than the majority of torque screw drivers in this price range.

I used the lower hole to insert a QD socket. It lays just fine, does not flip over for me when stowed
I also use the lower hole on my M4 (obviously since I use my own product) and I don’t find and issues at all..

All good suggestions, I’ll see what I can do

Gen 2 is not accurate, as that would imply “gen 1” is discontinued, which will never happen..

we appreciate all your attempts at innovation! any ideas for a different safety, the TTI and Daves metal works are both nice, but I can see a different design flourishing
What kind of design are you wanting? I was going to get into the safety next at some point.

Ya I gotta be honest I’m probably not doing this. Thanks for all the input guys.

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?
Muzzle end is floating yes, with SBS would get the slots after the bracket but the front 3 on the full length would be gone. Would look pretty good I think.

Brother I thought Canada had no restrictions on SBS, semi-auto or pumps? Did something change recently? You more than likely know better than me since you live there. Either way, these look nice and functional. Keep up the good work 👍🏾
Pumps we can have short barrels as long as it is from factory (not restricted at all). Semi auto Center fire needs to have a minimum 18.0” barrel.

your awesome bro, impressive!
I dont see why people even leave a comment to complain about innovation, the fact is.. this is what alot of people have been looking for! Also QD can be added to the mlok
good stuff! I have never bought from you but have recommended you, if / when I pick up another M4 in the future, I will be getting some of your gear.
now check this brother.. I will probably be getting the 14" sbs in the future.. can / will you make one for that model?
🤔 🧐
Thanks! I’ve been asked about the SBS. I haven’t looked at the mlok spacing, and I don’t have a 14” barrel to test out as that is illegal in Canada (14” barrel semi auto).
chances are slim…
however, it might be possible to hack off some front slots with a good aluminum cut off blade, and debur and then do a touch up annodizing kit on it.
m4 barrel is 18.5 inch, so I guess the SBS would need a heat shield that is 4.5” less. Just measured and you’d lose the front 3 slots.
maybe I’ll try to make a few during the production run and I’ll send one off to someone to test…

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?
Thanks! This one is going to be a big venture for me, so far interest has been good.
the weight is 188g (6.6oz) with all hardware included.
I have considered doing QD cups on the bracket, but ideally QD mounts should be mounted higher up on a 2 point tactical sling setup, when the gun hangs in front of you it will sit nicely when tight, if the QD mount is as least mid way between the barrel and the mag tube from a weight balance perspective. So any of the mlok slots are a good choice to attach an mlok QD accessory.

It looks nice.
I see the rear portion is raised up to mate with your optic mount.
A lot of us already running Scalarworks Sync mount. How does it mate up with that?
Also, is it only secure off in the center of the barrel using the bolts and clamp?
No compatibility with any other mount than the ones I am offering. The boss and boss hole add strength near the reciever and allow a tool less takedown. Other wise it would not be possible, and there would not be any contact at the rearward part of the shield to keep it secure.
it is secured by a clamp on the mid barrel guide ring. The shield itself is 1/8” thick to ensure proper stiffness at the front.
In my testing of many hundreds of slugs and buck, with a 2 cell weapon light near the muzzle, it has held up very well, with no signs of movement once it has been secured in place.

Price point seems high no me.For pretty much half a handguard.And then you need a optic mount too
Wish I could lower it, but it’s an expensive piece to machine, it isn’t just an extrusion like other handguards, it’s machined from billet inside and out. It’s 16” long, and has some precision machining on it which is costly.
as for the optic cost, new M4 owners won’t feel the cost as much as older M4 owners as they haven’t upgraded anything yet.
Picatinny is the cheapest way to upgrade. I might adjust the pricing before offering it for sale, trying to make it as cheap as I can.

Hey all,
Excited to announce this project, which I've been developing since Fall of 2022. Specifically designed to be fully compatible with the OEM Polymer 2pc Benelli M4 Handguard (Benelli 70117, and Benelli 70116). This brand new concept revolutionizes the way the Benelli M4/M1014 handles. It gives the user multiple options for accessory attachments, protecting hands from barrel heat, all while retaining the superior and unmatched ergonomics of the original Polymer 2pc Benelli M4 Handguard. Machined from billet 6061-T6 and mil spec hard coat annodized.
Once installed, this Heat Shield offers fast, and tool-less takedown of the Benelli M4/M1014. Fully compliant with ARDEC Solicitation DAAE-30-98R-0401. It is not any slower to take down the weapon than if you didn't have the heat shield on at all.
The design requires an Rx Arms Optic Mount to function (as the receiver optic mount has a boss hole which accepts the heatshield). Initially will be offering a mil spec picatinny rail, and RMR rail. To follow will be the aimpoint T2, and P2 rails in early 2024 it is looking like. All optics will co witness from close range to long range.
If you are interested, you can sign up on the waitlist at rxarms.com.
It is looking like Q4 2023 for availability. If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer anything I can.

I see you list the weight of your part at 35.4 grams. You say it is less than the OE part. What does the Benelli part weigh in at?
It barely clears OEM which weighs at 36.2g. Quite a feat actually since 75% of the OEM cap looks like polymer.

Hey all,
I got a lot of irons in the fire but looking to get more in there.
curious if any interest in a non USA titanium follower? I’m in Canada and this follower will not help at all with 922(r), so I’ve just back burnered the idea. But curious if anyone would be interested?
Would be plain finish titanium.

Benelli M4 Shotgun 500 Round Durability Test: ROUND 2
in Benelli
Posted · Edited by RxArms
I think this test is a joke compared to the 25k round test the USMC did. Who needs to test the M4 for 500 rounds? What’s the point? When I test products I’ll easily go through 500 rounds in one session, and this is after not cleaning the gun for the past thousand rounds.
Sorry if I sound harsh but he’s trying to get click bait testing the most battle proven shotgun ever made. Meh.
