  1. Wd40. Spray in barrel, let soak and hand brush (no drill). Clean as new.
  2. What I loved about this: visual proof that 7.5 will ruin someone else’s day in cq/hd arenas. So damn tired of the tactical, muzzle velocity, couch penetration experts that state otherwise. Overall fantastic video. Science!
  3. None. If really worried about it, you can sweet talk it off with acetone as you peel it back.
  4. I went the IWC route (with offset picatinny) and think its solid. Fits nicely to the gun. I also decided to try out the inforce wml https://www.impactweaponscomponents.com/product/inforce-wml-weapon-light-400-lumens-white-light-gen-2/ vice the other lights. all in all, for me, pretty good setup for the price.
  5. As to the clays, it depends on the shooter. I talked to a guy (didn't see him shoot) that said a red dot improved him. But my experience, having the red dot was super distracting. I took my m4 to help my son practice timing in trap. Couldn't hit shit, until i started ignoring the dot. M4 just way too busy with ghost rings and dot for that type of shooting
  6. A few hundred heavy loads through, and you will be fine to shoot them all.
  7. Put a crap ton of wolf through, and no issues. I think, due to the kid being a fiend with it, there were about 600 shot in one setting and just fine. That’s when it was relatively new. lotsa other stuff through as well, and the m4 eats it like candy. Dirty? Who cares, it’s built for it.
  8. Ordered mine last year, and no complaints. Worth the buy from @SOCOMguy
  9. The MC M4 manual. Benelli M4 (USMC Manual).pdf
  10. Ditto. And well said. That Corps manual was the first thing I poured over- and it was thanks to this forum. Secondly, ditto on the big rounds through the break in period. After that, it’s just like anything else: Practice, and more practice. Next thing you know, operating that m4 will be like sliding into a good set of jammies (maybe a onesie) and getting a great sleep all night long. Edit to add: don’t worry about the cool kid mods at first. Get used to the base model, and then it will help you with the decisions down the line. Again, this forum is the go to with excellent advice all around.
  11. What I did: I bought a practice spring. Can’t remember where, or brand but it was cheap (like 18 bux?) and supposed to be for m4. Point here is, you can try and measure the spring left from the tube after the cuts... but that may not be accurate either sometimes. it’s like meat on the smoker, everyone says 6 hours... you do it 6 hours and you have jerky. what I would suggest is you cut it a few coils (like 3) at a time, and put back together and test. You will get the idea of how many coils at a time after the first couple. Takes longer, but it worked. Practice spring actually is now full time spring, and has worked great for about 600 rounds. Then slugs got to over a dollar. just an alternative.
  12. Thanks, it may be a bit before I can tackle... AS is back ordered, haven’t checked the other parts yet. So this will be a perfect reminder when they come in.
  13. Perfect, thank you. Just have been consumed with my son and his trap team, and all the accoutrement (e.g $$$) that comes with it. Finally got a breather, and figure it would tackle the trigger.
  14. Double check your box, the appropriate mounting accessories have should been inside. Purchased the same for my 11707 and came as advertised. The packages are small, and scalar works packs in 50 items, like stickers, within th case. Fasteners #6-32x0.4375" flat-head (Nylok® treated, torqued @ 15in*lbs), #8-40x0.25" flat-head (Nylok® treated), #8-40x0.20" captive
  15. Since 2020 is over, and I already want my trial of 2021 to be cancelled... just checking on frame and trigger assemblies. Been out of it for a few, and finally getting back to 922 parts. A&S (pretty sure that’s still solid) and FFT still the way to go, or are there some new opinions out there? Thanks!
  16. Like it. Been staring at a bunch of Henry levers lately. Congrats
  17. Usually a field gun will be lighter and have a narrow rib with a single bead. Sporter will be usually longer and heavier with a wide rib and two beads. The comb will be higher on a sporter, to cause you to shoot high which is good for skeet/trap. (Yes, debatable, and not trying to start a war) That said in a very basic sense, if you are mainly looking for a bird gun, stick with the field. You can trap skeet with it anytime. Plus you save a few (a lot) bucks. If you were to comp shoot trap skeet, then the sporter and hunt with it occasionally. Plus i don’t know your fit and shooting preference.. but you won’t get a 26inch sport if that’s what you need. I just got my son into trap, and had to go through this. Got him a field. 1. If he drops out, we have a nice field gun. 2. If he gets great, and wants to keep it up, we get a sporting, and still have a nice field gun. bottom line, save some bucks and get the field where you can find it. I think the difference between the two versions is only 100, but that’s a case and almost a half of shells.
  18. All I saw in this post was grenade launcher. ?
  19. That’s exactly what I did. Card, and some spare Velcro in the garage (or get from big box) Works nicely. @stepbill simply google shotgun shell card, and pick your flavor. The loop is to pull it off. Some have it some don’t. Cheap and easy to remove if you don’t like it.
  20. That carbon tube is starting to grow on me. Looks great!
  21. Good to know on the spacers, thanks @StrangerDanger. package arrives tomorrow, can’t wait to play around a bit.
  22. All right scratch this whole post. Not sure how I missed this thread. Going with the RMR option.
  23. Thanks guys for the replies. I think I came to the same conclusion as well. @bird dog do you think the RMR is just right, or should I go with the SRO? I do like the expanded FOV on the SRO but not sure if it would matter. Thoughts?
  24. Looking for an option with a co witness rmr. Seen the scalarworks SYNC, but whoo-boy the price tag. Like editing, search seems to be an option on non drinking days, but found some options as late as 2018. Any 2020 views? Bottom line want the option of ghost ring and red dot as a backup to either.
