    LOL...yesterday's frustration resulted in the purchase of a decent bench vise and a MAPP torch! This s*** is about to get real!?

     

    Haha nice! I came across this video and now I'm searching for a vice. lol

    Yesterday I calculated how much I'll have into my M4 when it's done.  I almost threw up.  I think when I get it back I might sell it on GB if the prices are still dumb.

    Then I'll go back to a semi bare bones M4 with a couple modest up grades.  It's truly got out of control.  I thought the cost of NP3 was over going board.  Then I added up all the upgrade parts and that number by itself blew past plating.  WTH?

    I'm right there with you. I stopped counting when I hit $3k into this damn gun. lol

    So glad I found this thread. Just got my M4 11707, and ran into the 4 shell load issue. Short of pulling the spring, couldn’t figure it out. Needless to say for the price of the gun, and having this issue when advertising 5+1 is slightly frustrating. The potential 7 spring isn’t bad if going to the full tube, but wasn’t something I planned on immediately, especially with 922 compliance (overall cost) from the initial cost of the gun.
     

    Funny thing is the freedom fighter tactical video that covers the full Tube and 922r -  dude says that people have run the 5 inch spring without issue. That was a flag to me, just on math and spring pressure. Now it makes sense if there is a 7 inch spring.

    looking forward to being a part of the forum.

    My brand new M4 did the same thing when using 2 3/4 Federal 9 shot 00 Buck. I ended up trimming the spring a little bit and it solved the problem. Oddly enough, the spring is now the correct length for my 7 round tube. Works perfectly. No need to worry about math and spring pressure. If you want some help though, email Sean at Wolff Springs and he'll tell you exactly how many to cut.

  4. ^This.
    It kinda bugs me that Benelli has the balls to call it an H20 when in reality it's no different than the regular model. Now if you were looking at an original NP3 coated version for a decent price, I'd say go for it. Otherwise, save the $200 and put it towards upgrades like a seven round tube or a collipasable stock.

    Well that's good to hear! I started to see mine smoking too. LOL I still have red marks on my palm from how hard I was gripping the tube last night. yikes!

    Yup, sounds like yours is sealed on there as hard as mine was. Just be patient with the heat gun and focus on that spot I told you about. About two minutes of direct heat should be enough to loosen it up.

  6. It’s not just the vise. Benelli put a shit-ton of red thread locker on there. I had to heat mine several times because I’d get half a turn here, 3/4 turn there. Eventually I just said screw it and focused the heat on the inner part of the receiver where the threads screw into. Headed it up until there was a decent amount of smoke coming out of the tube then I was able to spin it out. Just be patient then you’ll get it out without damaging your finish.
