Im waiting for my Briley handguard to come in.

Copy looks like I'm going to pick one up and give it a whirl!

Huge positive that it lasted 10 years I would say!

That was a positive for me that it mirrored the original part just bigger.

Anyone have any recommendations for M4 charging handel's? Currently looking at the Botach KZ oversized charging handel. Anyone install one of those and have pros or cons?

Copy that. I got my parts in so just waiting until I feel motivated to tackle the job.

Stanger Danger have you heard of anyone milling some slots into the one position tube versus buying the 3 position tube. I don't know If that would be any less work and in the end might actually cost more but just curious if it's been done?

Awesome thanks for the advice!

Does heat need applied to remove the magazine tube? Seems like this might be a good time to install a 7 round tube verusus the 5. Also if there is locktite on the tube threads would it need reapplied when installing the new tube?

Is the locktite a necessary component to reapply?

Is the Weaver tool necessary to use? If not what do you recommend instead. For the tube is it necessary to fully take it apart of the new tube I'm receiving has all the components inside it?

Thanks for the tutorial of instructions. I'll have to ponder for awhile if I feel comfortable doing it myself versus someone else while I'm waiting arrival of my parts. Is there a certain temp you set the heat gun to to ensure you don't damage the aluminum reciever or a temp you do not want to exceed?

So first off I'm new to the Benelli world. I finally bit the bullet and purchased a M4 1014 limited edition offline. When I received the shotgun to my displeasure it had the collapsable stock equipment on it but after further research has the one position buffer tube versus 3 position. I was able to aquire the 3 position tube from beneli parts. Anyone know how this is installed? Seems like it would be a PITA. I live in the Alabama River Region area anyone know of any knowledgable gunsmiths that could tackle this in my area? Also what is the consensus on ammo I can run. Bird/buck shot should be no prob. Can this run slugs? I have heard the shotgun has a built in choke and no ability to change anything out since it's built in. Sorry new to the shotgun world just want to make sure I don't blow the barrel up. However seems people run slugs in M4's but just trying to gather the knowledge.
