Dang funny!

[Looking for Benelli M4 Recoil Spring Tube 3 Position]

Agree 100%  I stopped at the local Sportsmans Warehouse this afternoon to pick up my recent order of primers..The handgun display only had revolvers and the shotgun display was void of defense shotguns. 

[Looking for Benelli M4 Recoil Spring Tube 3 Position]

Yeah, I was wondering the same. Maybe a stolen gun, hence no receiver???

[Is this M4 a special edition?]

Congratulations on an awesome find, 3blades!!! Amazing.

[Thinking of buying the elusive M4 H20]

nice addition!

Quality craftsmanship. How long did it take, I placed my order last week?

They expedited my order because I sent my mag tube limiter which enabled them to blend the cerakote and now offer midnight bronze. I waited just over 3 weeks from time of order.

[Carrier Comp 7rnd Ti mag tube midnight bronze]

Shout out to Carrier Comp for their communication and quality! Nice work matching the midnight bronze. 

Removal of the stock mag tube was easy as there was only a small amount of red thread locker applied at the factory.

[True or False: M4 won't cycle standard 2 3/4" loads.]

I started off with the cheap walmart winchester loads and my new M1014 ran like a champ from the get go. Followed up with 3" slugs and had a lot of fun.  

Recently installed the Urbino stock, holosun green circle dot sight and received Carrier comp 7rd Ti tube color matched midnight bronze. I'll install later today and post to the picture thread.

[Benelli M4 Port Loading recommendations]

SD, Nice work! Did you have to refinish the receiver or can Cerkote be touched up?

[Lead on 7 round tube?]

FFT is probably your best bet at the moment.

I am expecting my CC 7 round tube, spring & follower to show up today.

Fair point. Although it's expensive, it's been at the top of my gun bucket list for as long as I can remember. With something like this I won't let money get in the way of building it out how I've always planned.

That's the spirit!!

[Shell stop mods]

I will be giving this a try. Seems nuts to me how much pressure needs to be applied to load the mag.....

There are QD cups that can be mounted on a hollow stock.  Just need to drill a hole in the stock and screw it together. Noveske Flush Mount Push-Button Quick Detach Universal Sling Mount for Polymer Stocks. I mounted one on my SCAR 16 and it holds like it was made there.

Thanks NoTycoon!!! I will have a close the Noveski flush mount.

[EOTech 512 reticle won’t adjust on my M4. Is it a mismatch?]

Lower 1/3rd co-witness is likely far as you'll get with EOTech on the stock rail. I my experience trying different dot sights on my AR, lower 1/3 offers quicker target acquisiton. If you want true co-witness, you'll need a lower mount. The scalarworks mount with RMR, is pretty dang slick.

 

[Ubino stock installation, should I use any blue locktite ?]

I installed the Urbino this weekend and was pretty easy. No lock tight! My only complaint is there is no QD swivel attachment point for sling.

I am able to back the screw out a few turns then it gets tight. Does feel like there's lock tight in there. I just screwed it back in place for the time being until my Urbino stock comes in.

Just a quick follow up. I was able to get the screw out no problem but it was pretty tight coming out. No thread locker observed. Urbino stock fits great. I'll be on the look out for  3 position recoil tube to have the option to switch back in the future. 

[New M4 build]

Looks great, Sigfla!! I am headed in a similar direction with my project.

[Oversize charging handle for the M4 ONLY $10]

Thanks for the comparison pictures, mickey d.  Mine arrived yesterday. Fits great. We'll see if any issues.

[Good sight for benelli M4?]

Im running a Holosun on an AR 300BO and glad to report it is holding up very well.

Thanks, NoTycoon! Just ordered one.

[M4 Owners - How did you end up discovering and buying the M4?]

This a great thread.

Back in the early 90s, a friend of mine had a M1 and I was soooo jealous every time we got together. In 09, I bought a Winchester Super X3 for shooting clays. A few years back I picked up a Nova for HD and since then I have fantasized about getting a M4. Finally made the plunge early last month. Discovered this forum and now I am absolutely hooked!
