I've had similar problems too. And I was in trouble. Frankly, there is a place where I am much more satisfied. They give you coupons when you leave a comment on the Milwaukee Heat Gun sale. I can recommend it.

I live pretty rural, tiny spiders/bugs/etc. love tiny spaces. I am not at all saying one will fall into/make a nest and you'll be kilt in da hallways, but it is something to consider.
I see that as a plus to have a venomous spider along for the battle as he/she could jump off and land the coup de grace bite as a true battle buddy should.

Another option would be the Trijicon SRO.
It has a larger sight window than the RMR. If you pair that with a Jagerwerks BROS shield, you can harden that setup so it's gtg. It mounts to the same footprint as an RMR, and top loads a battery vs the bottom loading RMR

Bottom two went home this past week. Second from the top should be going home this week. The FDE one is still waiting for some corrections on paint.The all FDE looks horrible as a mono color.

I ordered an m4 with a pistol grip stock and also have a c-stock on pre-order. I believe that will leave me with one left over unless I'm missing something.
It won't. The stock that comes with your M4 is integral to the pistol grip.
The collapsable stock has the separate 2 pieces.
Doesn't solve his problem

Is yours the collapsable stock?

Collapsible stock, seven rd. tube, short barrel, pistol grip, ghost ring sights, pic rails and it's got that infamous drive-by black finish. How in hell did that miss the 922r black hole???????????
Its an Italian site (.it at the end) would be very surprised to see this pass us import restrictions as-is

That stock looks... feminized

A very thorough article on how to sling the shotguns with out of the box hardware
Primarily covers the standard stock, and has link to configure a sling for purchase
BFG is good quality equipment

Beat me too it.
Looks like his pretty stock for a collapsing...7 round tube, and a aimpoint sight.

Avail new item for $300
Almost bought this myself, but its not the A&S housing that I prefer, but though someone might want to grab

Freedom fighter tactical has new kits in NP3 for the M4 in their overside bolt release, and in the extension tube with internals in Np3
Sales live as of 3pm CDT
Tube kit (double check the configuration for your needs)

Finally got a break in the rain and was able to hit my BLM range to test three of the M4 H2O's and get them sighted in.
The three up for testing riding in the Pelican 1750. What's interesting here is there are three different magazine tube configurations. More on this in a bit.
The overall goal was to sight them in with slugs at 50 yards. I use a laser range finder to get the distance right on my B27 target stand. I then have a lead sled that I sit on a folding table with a chair behind it to take as much of the shooter out of the equation. Once they were sighted in, I ran about 25 rounds of buckshot and 50 rounds of birdshot to test out how each is performing.
First up for testing was the center M4 with a Trijicon SRO 2.5 moa dot optic and a titanium magazine tube. Function was flawless and I had it doing head shots on the B27 within 6 rounds.
Ouch.
Up next was the OD green M4 with the Trijicon RMR 1.0 moa optic. My personal favorite. This one has the lightweight carbon fiber magazine tube. Iron sights removed to cut weight. Sighting in was just as easy. However the groups were slightly larger than I was seeing with the titanium tubed model, which I didn't photograph. Function was flawless for the remainder of the tests. Blew up a lot of random crap in the desert with it.
Third up was the H2O with the SRO 5.0 moa dot optic and the steel OEM magazine tube. 5.0 moa is massive. At 50 yards, the dot filled almost the entire head of the B27. Problems emerged immediately. The firearm was having issues loading the last round from the magazine tube onto the carrier properly. The round ejects onto the carrier partially, but then the elevator cannot lift it to load it since the front of the round hangs up on the receiver. Diagnosis for this is a shitty magazine spring. It'll be swapped out with a carriercomp spring. I continued testing anyway since the malfunction only appeared every third time or so. Even with the monster 5.0 moa dot, the steel magazine tube was much more rigid of a base and permitted me to make some incredible groups. This was the first time I've shot one of those Benelli compensator breeching chokes. I didn't notice any real benefit in recoil reduction. I did notice the extra 7 ounces of weight on the end of the barrel.
After cleanup of the site, 90% of the shells were mine. I went thru quite a bit of 12 gauge!
So the shotgun is probably more accurate with the steel magazine tube. Not enough to really matter at shotgun distances. I'll still stick with the carbon fiber magazine tubes on mine since they are much lighter up front. I would not use the breecher choke unless I absolutely had to for some outlined mission objective role.
The SRO is much more forgiving for your cheek placement than the RMR. Smaller the dot the better. The smallest dot isn't any harder to find than the largest one. So it comes down to how much of the target you can tolerate being obstructed.
If you had a YouTube channel with this type content I imagine it would be pretty successful
You're already doing the photography staging, and you wrote a script here for this post.
Just pointing out an opportunity for an additional income stream

Some building has been going on these past few nights!
That FDE/H2O has been a nightmare. Extensive taping was required to blast off the NP3 from the exterior for paint adhesion. Some pieces are going back since they weren't done exactly right. I recently expanded my work bench to 15' x 5', and the entire work surface was covered in parts waiting for fitting and assembly.
The OD Green/NP3 M4. This one started out as a Cerakoted H2O.
Lots of work to get to here. With COVID and Biden donkey punching us, this project has been going on for a year. Weapon light is a Surefire M600DF lamp head on a Modlite 18650 body. I machined the tailcap to remove the shroud from the Surefire Z68. Even the hardware that holds the light to the IWC mount and the IWC mount screws were all NP3 plated, then the exterior visible head of the screws were painted. The handguard assemblies were stippled by Tango Industries, then painted FDE. Originally the FFT handguards were their tan version. Magazine tube is a carriercomp titanium tube.
So much work went into this assembly. Only the visible portions of the bolt carrier were painted in FDE. The rest is all NP3. The stem of the bolt handle is still in NP3. The screws under the Sync rail were left in NP3, where as the two visible ones had their tops painted. The trigger pin was NP3 plated, then just the tips were painted FDE. The bolt isn't locked forward or rearward because the link isn't installed. The link is being partially painted in FDE so the visible portion thru the ejection port area won't be shiny silver.
Rubber parts can't be properly painted, so they were left black. Note the shell release lever below the shotgun. Just the visible portion of the lever was painted in FDE. The rest was left in NP3.
Other fun stuff being built. AR10 in 6.5 Creedmoor. It's a mix of NP3 and FDE Cerakote.
By far the nicest AR15 I've ever built. Wish it was mine! Still waiting on a few items to finish it up. It's a blend of OD green and NP3. Lithium aluminum receiver set. Andros carbon fiber receiver extension. Proof Research 14.5" carbon fiber wrapped barrel. SLR Rifleworks titanium adjustable gas block. Modlite OKW in OD green cerakote. Railscales KOS panels with integrated sling mounts and hand stop. G10 panels were painted with OD green Cerakote. JP Enterprises LMOS bolt carrier group. JP Enterprises silent buffer. Geissele SD3G trigger. Trijicon RMR RM09 Type II on a Scalarworks mount. NP3 plated B.E. Meyers 249 flash suppressor pinned and welded in place to make barrel length. V Seven lightened parts thrown in wherever possible.
Haha, when someone with an Anderson upper and lower lower with training smokes that dude he's gonna have a heck of a loot box upgrade

I have purchased 2x from Benelliparts.net and have had nothing but professional service and reasonable prices.
I bought a collapsing stock (received in less than 90 days), and some smaller items including the entry choke.
I dont have a problem with his prices or his pre-order process. I paid more than his website asking price previously for a H2O cerakote collapse stock from another vendor on GB

Been waiting since the beginning of March for my PVS14 night vision monocular in white phosporous. That finally came in about two weeks ago. Ordered an MTEK vented carbon fiber helmet in April and that came in about a week ago. Bought a MAWL in April along with some of the Wilcox G24 mount for the helmet, those came in pretty much immediately.
So now I've been planning out night hikes around the mountain most nights with my chocolate Labrador. We creep with zero light output and stalk some mule deer for fun. Moonless nights are really fun. The Milkyway is amazing under night vision. It's fun to see who has surveillance cameras since they stick out like a sore thumb under IR.
Photos thru the monocular with my cellphone are crap compared to how it really looks in person. All that grainy looking detail is gone in person. I've done 2 hour hikes with it on and it has been quite comfortable. No neck pain issues from having the helmet on which is surprising, since hardhats at work bother me.
Probably could use a battery pack on the back of the helmet to help balance the weight
It will get heavier when you add coms, and supporting equipment
Also recommend a secondary tether for the expensive night vision equipment

What size Haley Strategic ring mount did you use for that?

Thanks for the review.
I have one of the AA handguards and I'm quite pleased with with it.
The filling of all the slots with Railscales imo seems over-the-top and not an aestheically pleasing option for me.
I have utilized the top rail for a TRex light bar extension to put my modlite further forward to minimize light shadow with the barrel and muzzle, mounted on the right side for top of shoulder placement for cqb situations.
I will install a few railscales and a Carve handstop/index.
I'm currently looking for solution to the loss of the QD option after losing the IWC mount with Agency Arms handguard.

Someone needs to make some G10 textured M4 hand-guards. RailScales make 1911 grips. Is there any reason this couldn’t be a possibility )besides lack of demand)?
Railscales does make G10 scales in MLock that can be attached to the Agency Arms handguard fwiw

Granted, buckshot is hands down more effective than birdshot. But….
I have to disagree with you a little SD. I think birdshot in very close quarters, ie., in your home/apartment, with family or neighbors on the other side of that thin sheetrock wall, over penetration could be an issue. A load of birdshot at 12 to 15 feet would be very effective on human flesh.
My 2 cents…….
Some 4,5,6 would be a nice Eff You finishing shot after some 00, especially to the face
