ZRT,

CC is definitely in business. Kip recently ceracoated my 3 position recoil tube midnight bronze and it came out bitchin. Your mag tube will be worth the wait

Ordered a mag tube mid January..  received order confirmation but that is it. Sent an email a few times but no response. Are they still is business or?

 

NEVERMIND - they responded - they are just super busy and missed my first couple of emails. Mod can delete this thread if desired to avoid confusion..

[Question on mods to a new M4 11707]

Ordered one finally... now making a list of mods I want to do. Just the most common... 7 round mag tube and eventually collapsible stock.

Was thinking the CC ti tube kit? Any feedback on these?

I read somewhere that the 11707 has the correct 3 position tube for the collaspible stock and would just need to order the stock? Not sure if this is correct?

And to keep 922r compliance I would need to probably do trigger? Would have mag tube and USA follower. Any suggestions?  I could do foregrips and I have seen disconnector for sale somewhere. Or would my money be better spent on something like fft trigger kit?

Thanks!

There were two releases of the flag edition model M1014. The first release around 2002 was limited to 2500 shotguns. It came with a collapsible stock that had philips head screws in the cheek riser. The collapsible stock does not function because the receiver extension is neutered and doesn't have the correct notches for the stock to function. This older model indicated in its serial number what gun it was of the 2500. Example, you could have gun 0666. This earlier model came with an aluminum trigger frame and the barrel does not have a removable choke. The seating ring and handguards are slightly different as well. This seat ring is where the barrel seats against the face of the receiver.

New production flag edition M1014's is not a limited run. It doesn't have a special serial number, so it'll just be a jumble of numbers and letters. The collapsible stock doesn't function, but the screws have been changed to allen head screws. The trigger frame is the new polymer style. The barrel now has the larger seat ring where it meets the receiver. The barrel is not threaded for chokes.

There are about a dozen other Benelli M4 models. Some just designate a color change or if it was meant for law enforcement. They're all generally the same though. These regular M4's usually come with a fixed stock. These units have the correct receiver extension, so adding a collapsible stock it it will function without any modifications.

 

As with all used guns, the more information you can find about it, the better. Especially if you can get what aftermarket modifications have been done.

Thank you! That is a lot of info!

Looking at a used M4 tactical. It has the M4 logo not the USA logo. Was there any advantages or disadvantages to the earlier M4.

I assume the M4 logo is the earlier guns - correct me if I am wrong please.

Thank you!
