    I use mil-surp M60 slings with qd mounts. Nothing fancy, you have to adjust them using tri-glides but they're wide and nicely padded as they are meant for much heavier guns. Last time I bought some they were $20 each. You can have any color you want as long as it's black.

    I’ll consider getting one but only if they have it in black

  2. I like the rear QD so I use it.  Attachment, front left and rear right.  Helps in the hanging positioning where the gun is always being pulled into the body from the weight of the gun rather than being pulled outward by gravity.  Same as shown in the picture above.

     

    edit: left handed would be opposite

    I’ve had the same problem with the one from FFT. I communicated with them and they gave their song and dance. I’ve been around shotguns for a very long time and have never seen such a tight fit and lack of spacing. I just opted to eat it and purchase two for taran. Needless to say my business has navigated towards other vender’s. The said fact about FFT is that they won’t cowboy up to their poor design. 

    Yeah if I hadn’t had a picture of rub marks on two different shotguns I don’t know how it would have turned out.  Likely would have been eating it.

    That was the first time I used my breacher choke and also the first time with that ammo. 

    I've read that the increased back pressure from a suppressor can cause carbon and has to get blasted into the action and also causes lag/ smoke to build up... wondering if the choke could have a similar affect ??  Maybe it's the ammo?? I'll know later this week... 

    suppressors compress your gasses and help things become subsonic if I am not mistaken.  What you have just redirects the gasses outward. As many have said it’s unlikely.   I suggest you take it off and shoot the same shells.  See if there is something else going on.  if there isn’t talk with the manufacturer and ask some questions.  I don’t know much but this is likely what I would do.

    Also- with the breacher choke on, the gun produced a ton of black smoke. When I shot 6 or so shots in a row, my lane at the range was just covered in black smoke... this excessive black smoke never occurred before, and only occurred with the breacher choke on... so, there's something going on with backpressure or lag time or something different due to the choke....

    You changed back to the original and saw the problem go away I assume?

    I have a FFT 1/2 that doesn't over insert at all.My M4 has a 2014 date code though.The gentleman that I,purchased it from said that it would over insert on his M4 but perfect on mine.

    I believe Benelli changed the handles locking depth on newer M4's.I could be wrong.

    It didn’t like either of mine which are newer.  It inserted to the depth it was designed which was too far.  I got a refund.

  7. I thought I was going to be able to show you their own pictures on their website but now they only have the one version.  When I bought two several months ago it was up there…I ended up getting one of each. Black was “new” and the silver was normal.

    I have one of the first 2500 made  m4s. And shot crap load of rounds thri it over the years.And not one problem or breakdown 

    Yeah it’s a probability chart not guaranteed what happens.  That specific chart was on a site explaining why you shouldn’t buy an extended warranty on something…. Or perhaps one could interpret it as why you should sell an extended warranty ?.   I’m up to about 1500 rounds in under 2 years without issue as well.  I have had problems with aftermarket parts, but got it all figured out thanks to information I have found and my own trial and error.

    There are definitely quality control issues out there. Some work fine, others have obvious problems. I broke my brand new M4 in 2004 right out of the box within 40 rounds. So issues have been around forever. Maybe there are more lately with the rush to get so many out to meet market demand.

    It’s called the bathtub curve.  Life cycle problems with all equipment, cars, and clearly guns.  Don’t mind me or my opinion I’m a new guy with nothing to base it on but my own experience

    I know this is the pistol grip stock but the I figured you would need parts 85 -88 to hold the sling plate in place for the field stock too

    Yes, so in my case.  The MGW stock I bought was fully assembled with no parts missing.

    I'm confused, you don't know if it came with the mounting bolt?

    Some stocks screw onto the threads of the buffer tube and others use a mouthing bolt that screws into the end of the buffer tube.

     

    Yeah, I just woke up when I wrote that, and now I’m at work so I can’t look at the schematic for the stock.  It screws onto the buffer tube like the standard benelli fixed pistol grip stock.

    Did the mounting bolt come with that?

    Nothing else was needed.  It’s on the gun so if that’s a part internal to the stock then yes. They suggest buying the sling plate and the customer service did inform me that it is not always included.  My experience showed that it was the full set up.  They don’t recommend any other pieces.

     

     

  13. Green box sterling slugs are nice.  Come in the same green box as the buckshot, but are slugs.  They’re more cents per round than them tornado ones.  I avoided those since they are unnecessarily long shells so I don’t know how they perform.  Perhaps they are of a slightly larger spec that is interfering with the choke?  My slugs fly straight.  I was under the impression that the m1014 was fixed cylinder choke.  I suppose a set of calipers can settle the debate.

    Perhaps I’ll pick some up from work tomorrow and find out as I have both M4s.  Unless I am mistaken I would just measure the opening and it will either be modified diameter or larger right?  Now that I Google some stuff I see everyone saying modified, but I feel like previous research said otherwise.

    I've never purchased a gun off the internet before. Kinda skeptical about it. I guess i may have to do a little research 

    Fast easy and usually cheaper than I eventually can find it locally.  Don’t get me wrong I support local business, but when I’m looking for a very specific item I can’t find locally, I buy it.  
    Both of the ones I mentioned are quality sellers.  Eurooptic just gave me 486 dollars back on a purchase that went on sale a week after I bought it.  

    the process differs a little bit.  You need to find a transfer person or company to have it shipped to.  Not hard just look online in your area
