  1. I have my M4 setup how I want it and I don't need these extra parts.  I took the recoil pad off of my collapsible stock and replaced it with a LimbSaver recoil pad, so I don't need the original pad. I thought I would use this Briley Trigger Shoe, but I don't like it. Ideally, I would like to sell all of this at once and ship it out in just one box. Fingers crossed.

    Trigger Guard: $140

    Pistol Grip Stock Black Synthetic: $130

    5 Round Magazine Tube with 5 Round Spring: $105

    Shell Stop/Bolt Release Button: $40

    Shell Carrier: $35

    Right and Left Forearms: $30 each

    Safety Button: $20

    Sling Attachment Plate and Retainer: $15

    Follower: $15

    Shell Stop Pin: $5

    Cartridge Latch Spring: $5

    Collapsible Stock Recoil Pad: $25

    Briley Trigger Shoe for Benelli and Franchi Black: $20

    Can you share impressions on Briley trigger?  
     

    Would you change trigger again or leave stock?  
     

    thx. 

    I like the Briley more than the stock. Has a lighter trigger pull.

    Do you think it would be possible to clean it up on the lathe? I'd run it on the lathe if interested. Or if you want to send another Z68.

    I appreciate the offer. I'll think about it.

    Clean build, came out great! What did you machine the tailcap with? It looks a little rough?

     

    You can also delete the iron sights to cut weight and declutter your optic's field of view.

     

    Modlite has a replacement lamp head that is significantly brighter than the Surefire M600DF. The PLHv2 would fit the shotgun the best. It will drop right in on that Modlite body.

    I had a coworker do it and they used whatever was available in their shop. Yeah it's definitely rough, but it'll suffice.

    I've been debating whether or not I want to keep the iron sights on. I haven't shot it much and I'd like to practice using both the red dot and the iron sights.

    Thanks for the light head suggestion. I'll check it out at some point.

    Congrats, sweet build.

    Just curious about your trigger; did Briley comment regarding compatibility of your FFT/ Wolff spring kit with their match parts ? Wondering how if your springs changed the performance of their tune at all. 

    They did not.

  6. I'm curious about this as well. I got the large charging handle from Arms Unlimited as well as the slotted tactical charging handle from GG&G. I like them both, though I think the one from AU is a little heavier. I need to get a scale and weigh them. If you recommend this one from Benelliparts, I'll check it out.

  7. Since my last post was very informative, I figured I'd make one for parts and for 922r compliance. I'll start by first sharing the information I received via an email from the ATF.

    Quote

    This refers to your recent email to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), Firearms Industry programs Branch concerning the lawfulness of modifying a Benelli M4 shotgun, and the possible impact of the restrictions contained in the amended Gun Control Act of 1968, 18 U.S.C. § 922(r).

     

    As you may be aware, § 922(r) prohibits assembly of certain semiautomatic rifles and shotguns from imported parts.  Also, the implementing regulations contained in 27 CFR § 478.39 include the stipulation that “no person shall assemble a semiautomatic rifle or any shotgun using more than 10 of certain imported parts, if the assembled firearm is prohibited from importation under 18 U.S.C. § 925(d)(3) as not being particularly suitable for or readily adaptable to sporting purposes.” 

     

    These parts are as follows:

     (1) Frames, receivers, receiver

    castings, forgings, or castings.

    (2) Barrels.

    (3) Barrel extensions.

    (4) Mounting blocks (trunnions).

    (5) Muzzle attachments.

    (6) Bolts.

    (7) Bolt carriers.

    (8) Operating rods.

    (9) Gas pistons.

    (10) Trigger housings.

    (11) Triggers.

    (12) Hammers.

    (13) Sears.

    (14) Disconnectors.

    (15) Buttstocks.

    (16) Pistol grips.

    (17) Forearms, handguards.

    (18) Magazine bodies.

    (19) Followers.

    (20) Floor plates.

     

    Features which are not recognized as sporting on shotguns include, but are not limited to, a magazine capacity greater than 5 rounds, folding or telescoping stocks, pistol grips that protrude conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon, a bayonet or bayonet mount, a flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor, a grenade launcher and night sights

     

    As an example, a shotgun having a magazine capacity of more than five shells is prohibited from importation under 18 U.S.C. § 925(d)(3) since it fails to meet sporting firearms criteria.  Therefore, it is a violation of § 922(r) to assemble such a shotgun from more than 10 of the imported parts specified § 478.39.  However, assembly of certain semiautomatic rifles or shotguns using 10 or fewer of these imported parts is not prohibited under this section.

     

    The Benelli M4/Super 90 shotgun: When equipped with the standard buttstock or the fixed pistol-grip buttstock assembly it contains the following parts from the list presented above:

    1.            Receiver.

    2.            Barrel.

    3.            Bolt.

    4.            Bolt carrier.

    5.            Gas piston(s).

    6.            Trigger housing.

    7.            Trigger.

    8.            Hammer.

    9.            Disconnector.

    10.          Buttstock.

    11.          Forearm(s).

    12.          Magazine body.

    13.          Follower.

     

    Regarding the fixed pistol-grip stock of the Benelli M4/Super 90 shotgun, ATF has determined that this assembly consists of a buttstock only.  This assembly has an integral pistol grip molded-in, and is designed to accept a “rubber grip” accessory.  This accessory acts only to provide a comfortable gripping surface and is not considered a “pistol grip.”  Also, we should point out that the Benelli M4/Super 90 shotgun telescoping stock incorporates both a buttstock and a pistol grip.  The pistol grip of this stock assembly is designed to accept a “rubber grip” accessory.  This accessory acts only to provide a comfortable gripping surface and is not considered a “pistol grip.”

     

    In order not to be in violation of 922(r) once the Benelli M4 is in a non importable configuration (magazine which can hold more than 5 shots etc.) no more than 10 of the parts listed above contained in or on the assembled firearm can have been made / imported from overseas.

     

    We thank you for your inquiry and trust that this has been responsive.

    With that out of the way, I would like to know what are the best US made parts to get for upgrading a Benelli M4 11707 while making it 922r compliant. I'm wanting to get the 7 round tube and the collapsible stock.

    I'm aware of FFT and TTI as well as Carrier Comp. I've heard good things about the ladder and went ahead and ordered a full length titanium magazine tube from them. Since it comes with a follower, that would make 2 US parts and, based on my understanding, I would need 2 more parts replaced to have both the full length tube and collapsible stock. What other parts are worth replacing and by which manufacturer? I am also interested in getting the TTI extended carrier, the TTI oversized safety, the GG&G bolt release pad, and the GG&G charging handle:

    TTI Carrier: https://tarantacticalinnovations.com/tti-benelli-accuguide-extended-carrier/

    TTI Safety: https://tarantacticalinnovations.com/tti-oversized-benelli-ultimate-safety/

    GG&G Pad: https://www.gggaz.com/benelli-m4-tactical-bolt-release-pad.html

    GG&G Handle: https://www.gggaz.com/benelli-m4-tactical-charging-handle.html

    Are these parts worth it?

    Any additional information and advice would be greatly appreciated.

  8. I've saved up some money and I'm looking to get my first gun: a Benelli M4. As I've been reading up on it, I've gotten confused as there seems to be different models of it, some don't have interchangeable chokes, etc. At the very least, I know I want a pistol grip, the collapsible stock, and the 7 round magazine tube, but I've read that other parts should be replaced as well.

    Would anyone be willing to give me a simple 101 on the Benelli M4? What parts can and should be replaced, where to purchase one, and what other things should I know?

    I'm already aware of the benelliparts.com site, r/gundeals, and the Taran Tactical version.
