Just got an email that the Benelli store got restocked with OEM night sights. Does anyone here have any experience comparing the Benelli against the Meprolights? I've heard that people haven't been too impressed with the Meprolights, so I am curious to know if the Benelli branded ones are an improvement.

They all do this. Eventually the edge will be rounded over. It’s cause by the brass part of the shell making contact during the ejection cycle. If it bugs you, buy some Alumablack and rub it on the bare aluminum. Apply more as the marks bother you.
Stranger,
Thanks as always. Lol, I'm a little paranoid with my little, expensive investment piece! I want it to last. BTW those instructions on the trigger group assembly were on point! The process was a little bit of a PIA, but not too much so. I managed to only launch the hammer spring/cap once across my workspace?!

Smaller the dot, the more precision can be had since it obstructs the target less. Larger dots are easier to find in the optic. Personally, I go with the smallest dot I can get. I’ve never had a hard time locating the dot inside an RMR on the Benelli.
Makes sense. Its annoying that there aren't many places near where I live that actually stock a lot of product so you can get hands-on experience with the products prior to purchase...smh

So speaking of RMRs on the M4s, what is everyone's thoughts of the size of the dot? I'm looking to eventually do the Scalarworks sync/rmr, but I need to decide on a MOA size. I'm used to using a Vortex SPARC 2 with a (I think) 2 MOA Dot.

Hey all,
I recently purchase my M4, did a few upgrades, and brought it to the range. I only fired off maybe 30 rounds. The experience was outstanding to say the least. Anyways, I was doing some disassembly on my gun recently and noticed some wear patterns that gave me some concern, especially since I have only put maybe 30 rounds down the pipe. My question is, is this normal or should I be concerned? I'm guessing that some ejecting shells are causing this to occur. Any commentary would be greatly appreciated!

Birdog19, I do have the telescoping stock but I find it uncomfortable at anything other than the maximum extension while dressed without-winter-coat casual. The ghost ring iron sights are not in a bad position for me but I don’t feel like anything slightly higher would be either.
I'm with you as well. I don't mind full extension, and actually prefer it. Strangely enough, I'm only about 7' 8" tall and enjoy that LOP.

I purchased a IWC scout light mount, and should get it in this week hopefully. I mainly purchased it for the QD mount feature, first and foremost. From what I read, if you go the route of 1913 IWC mount, you can always take off the rail and have a regular scout mount, so it just gives you more options. I guess it all comes down to what you're trying to mount to it. I would imagine that if you utilized the scout mount solution, that the light would potentially be mounted closer to the gun's surface, which is usually more desirable.

Has anyone tried these sights?
Those appear to be factory Benelli sights. I too am curious about what people are saying about these. That appear to be out-of-stock at most locations.

I have the rear Meprolights installed but the front didn't come with a nut. It said to use the one from the gun but the nut is too big.
@sonyman74 Maybe you would be able to hit up a hardware store and find a nut that matches the size and thread pitch that you need. What are your thoughts on the brightness of the tritium vials in the sights? I have heard reviews of people being disappointed with the lack or brightness of the Meprolight sights. I just recently had some Ameriglos installed on my Glock G45, and I regret waiting so long...they are very nice!

I'd pay for it. You have a link?
@sonyman74 If you go through with it, please give us an in-depth review on the product. I'd be curious to know!

@StrangerDanger I apologize for taking forever to get back to you on this topic. I was supposed to have gone to the range Tuesday to try out my new M4 for the first time, but that didn't happen until yesterday. It was a wonderful experience, but I apparently didn't bring enough ammo, as it felt like it lasted 2 minutes. I'm going to attempt to directly message you about moving forward with these parts. ?
-
Stranger, thanks as always. You're the real MVP.

I was wondering if this slight gap of the bolt body in the ejection port is normal or not? It's not very noticeable, but if you look close, you can see the bolt head through the gap. I took my M4 out to the range for the first time this evening. The experience was outstanding to say the least!!! This M4 seemed to function just fine, but since I'm so new to the platform I'm still learning what is usual form. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I see. Well, maybe I'll just use the factory tube instead. I mean, it's only a 5.5 ounce weight difference, basically two shells. Is it really that noticeable?
@ClackClackBAM Well I just went to the range this evening and tried my M4 for the first time since getting it, and I felt the limitations of a smaller magazine capacity. Personally, I will be overjoyed as soon as I have my Carrier Comp tube on hand!

Question- would it be worth keeping the OEM tube once my CC is ready, or should I just sell it?
Based on the market's desire for aftermarket mag tubes, and not factory tubes, I wouldn't count on getting much for it. My plan is to keep all my take-off parts in the event that I ever decide to part ways with the M4. That way, I can make a factory spec m4, hopefully getting near retail for it, while parting out the aftermarket goodies. IDK how the market's supply usually is with 922r USA parts, but I know it's dry right now. Collapsible stocks are MAD expensive right now. Trigger kits are basically unobtainable...

Does anyone have a lead on where I can get a seven round tube these days? I have a CarrierComp on order, but I really don't to wait three months.
@ClackClackBAM I have a 7 round tube on order too. LOL it kinda sucks knowing that you confirmed a 3 month turn away, but I'm going to wait as well. Now I'm thinking the 20-45 days didn't sound that bad! I ordered the DG finished version.

@StrangerDanger Thank you for the clarification! What do you feel would be a fair price for me to take those parts off your hands?
-
@StrangerDanger Just for clarity, can you point out which numbers you don't have in the attached diagram?

@StrangerDanger I was looking at those trigger guards too. I'm open to all options honestly. My master plan was to try and send a trigger group out to Briley's for a trigger job, but I didn't want to be without a complete trigger group assembly. What's more, there was a forum member on here that apparently had his sent trigger group lost enroute to Brileys...yikes!
-
@StrangerDanger NP3+ sounds intriguing! It's pretty funny, I was referred to you on the AR15.com forum. Apparently you've made quite a name for yourself in both communities!

@sonyman74 Does your M4 have the Briley trigger? If so what are your thoughts?
-
@StrangerDanger Absolutely, please! I was thinking of piecing the parts together at some online distributors, but the price to do so was crazy high, compared to buying the whole trigger group assembly. Much appreciated!

This is my preferred setup with a BlueForceGear padded sling with sewn in QD Mount points.
Having the rear QD link on the opposite side of the shotgun really helps with controlling the weapon when you’re hands off.@StrangerDanger What can you tell me about the QD points on your M4? Were they hard to install? The M4 is amazing, but I'm sure you already know that!

Hey,
I'm currently on the search for a complete Benelli M4 trigger group. Every location online appears to be out of stock. I was wondering if the M1, M2, M3 trigger group is the same as the M4, and if they are interchangeable? They look very similar, but since I'm not physically comparing the two, its hard to tell. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

LOL maybe one of us needs to take it for the team and order the Benelli and give it a review...
