    Waging a ground war/occupying enemy territory  as we know it is effectively over. There are electronic counter measures to drone attacks but they've definitely changed the battlefield.  I dunno really what us Joe Blow citizens could do to counter them in a SHTF scenario.

    When I was in the Cavalry we'd  practice shooting at styro RC planes and I can tell you hitting a flying target that small is very difficult, even with MG's. 00 buckshot might your best option assuming it's close enough; beyond that, a well aimed rifle.

    Can you post some pics I would love to see yours. 

    I just don't understand why Briley keeps getting forgotten.

    I am out of town at the moment but here's 2 I took a few years ago. I cerekoted it "bazooka green". The 2nd one is showing the top. This is the long one, the exact length escapes me at the moment.

    Have you considered the Briley rail? I keep seeing people talk about the Benelli rail or the Agency and the MI, but why isnt the Briley ever added to that list? I have the 13" Briley on my M4 and it is awesome. What do you think about it?

    Totally agree, I have both sizes. fits snug, m-lok compatible and acts as a heat shield.

    I could just barely fit 7 rounds of Federal LE133 in my gun. 

    I replaced the OE magazine cap with one from Rx Arms. His cap has more internal space than the OE cap. Now I can fit 7 rounds with no problems. 

    Yes I know, I have 3 and they work great. The reason for the inquiry I spelled out in my 2nd post i.e. someone trying to tell me the tube was "defective" if 7 rounds of any make wouldn't fit. I tried searching but couldn't find any thread on it though I know I've seen it at least once.

    Not all shells are the same length.  Some people buy certain shells for this reason.  Some cut a couple coils from their mag spring.

    Correct, the reason I ask is I mentioned that on another forum and someone claimed if I couldn't fit 7 rounds of ANY manufacture in the tube it was defective (lol). Said he's been "working on guns for 50 years" and had never seen that. Apparently he's never noticed shotshells can vary in length between manufacturers either so I wanted feedback here, seems dubious.

  6. I have the ramped A&S trigger housing on 2 of my M-4's. The feed ramp or "scallop" is very nice and really does help loading especially when you're not looking at it, i.e right side up. Place the shell anywhere on the ramp and it's guided right in. If you're going to get an aluminum housing I'd recommend that one.

    Hey guys,

    I have noticed when having long shooting sessions that when I get home to clean the weapon, the choke is always loose and sometimes, the flush choke, has backed out enough for me to grab it with my fingertips. I have the Benelli choke wrench as well as a Carlson choke wrench, and I wrench them down pretty tight. I'm a big guy and pretty strong and I tighten it down to where if I keep going it feels like it will break so trust me it's tight. But without fail it will back out. Last time I kept notice of it and saw it back out after about 80-100 rounds (or about 4-5 boxes of 25), not like it is going to fly out, but I worried I might forget and may bump it on something and bend or dent the choke or damage the threads. So, my question is, is this normal? Did I damage the threads somehow? I half thought about locktiting an IC choke in it and calling it a day, but then I don't want to limit my shotgun to just IC, I have other chokes and like to be able to switch them out. So what is the problem, am I doing something wrong, is it damaged already? Is this something I can fix or is this just what it is?

    I had that problem with a breecher choke and put a couple layers of grey plumbers tape on the threads. That fixed my problem so you might try that.

  8. I picked up a few boxes of "Winchester defender segmenting slug" ammo and tested on a watermelon. These are going in my dedicated home defense Benelli M4, I love the results.

    As soon as I saw your post I jumped on it. My original plan was to Cerakote OD Green the new M4 for the moment at least until next week when I get the wood stock. It does require modifications to fit in just going to move forward with plan A.

    One of my M4's is Cerekoted OD green, Bazooka Green is the actual color name, it looks great!
