Take another photo of the parts with a piece of paper showing your user name and the date on it.

You did fine, the adjustable stock alone makes up for the price difference. It will give you many years of reliable service and enjoyment! Welcome to the club!

My guess: 11713 assuming the 7 round mag tube is OEM. The adjustable stock is an add-on evidenced by the Benelli box so it originally came with the fixed stock. Source: https://www.benellile.com/shotguns/m4-tactical-shotguns

A lot of people are into reloading shot shells on this forum. https://www.shotgunworld.com/

Yes, you are right, my mistake. I usually catch stuff like that and edit it but not this time.

It's not fun when you have to buy a special 3.5 mm wrench for one little operation like installing the sight but when you need it, you need it. I will note that FFT was selling that wrench for $25 IIRC. The EXACT SAME wrench was available for $9.99 on Amazon. If you're gonna do that to me I expect dinner and a movie at least.

Yes he is a great guy, I did grant him visitation rights whenever he's down in Texas which sealed the deal. The np3 has a unique feel that is evident immediately; I liken it to touching a new teflon skillet. Not gonna be a safe queen though, it's a player.

Thanks!

Wow, that's a lot all at once; should be awesome when it's completed. My only advice would be to get the A&S trigger guard with the load-channel, it really is handy. We need pics when it's finished!

Getting any diy cold bluing to match perfectly might be a problem.

It depends on the shells which varies in size between manufacturers, I have been using Fetter which I could always load 7 with. The caps don't give a lot of new space so it likely will not make a HUGE difference. The new caps are really nice though. The raw titanium looks especially nice.

You might try polishing the mag tube inside also, it could be hanging up a bit. There's a discussion on this forum on how to do that, it seems to solve some problems; it certainly won't hurt. It is here:

No idea, check at the "Panzer Arms M4 Clone" forum.

This really is a critical part. I had to ask myself, "Do I want a polymer part holding my M4's together or titanium?" The slight extra space your cap affords sealed it, so I ordered 3, thanks Robb!

Looks familiar!

I have seen those, they look pretty nice but, man, they are expensive and empty they don't lay flat. The hook & loop aren't great as they do wear out but at $14 a shot I just toss them when they do. For $100 you have quite a few h&l's that can be fit in mag pouchs. The rail alone with these is over $100 and you still need the shell holders. Just my $.02.

A bayonet on a shotgun is incredibly intimidating but apparently someone isn't a bayo fan, lol.

Cotton Branch custom firearms in Smithdale Mississippi does awesome wood stocks. I don't think they have a website but google it and you'll get a phone number. Not sure on price and you may have to send him the gun. Hope this helps.

Now how about a bayonet mount to fit it?

I received it and it is immaculate, I love it! Brightt is a great person to deal with, does what he says he will. He has my highest recommendation should he decide to sell anything more.

I see them turn up occasionally on Gunbroker but they aren't common. You could, of course, pay a Cerekoter to duplicate the 3-color pattern. I toyed with the idea of having one done in my favorite camo pattern, "chocolate chip" but in the end I went with solid "bazooka green", a sort of faded OD green shade. My thought was I could always paint any camo pattern I wanted to match terrain I was in. Acrylic paint will last surprisingly long and is very easy to remove. Sure, it will chip and wear over time but that just adds to the battle-worn look IMO.

I think I got it for a fair price for both of us and I hope the seller doesn't mind if I disclose. $6500 for the gun, $100 shipping, $300 for the Trijicon and I reimbursed him for his PayPal fees $244. I did pay immediately. He is a great guy to deal with. I threw in visitation rights whenever he'd like and that includes a big Texas BBQ. That is a little more than a dolled up Cerakote version off Gunbroker but the NP3 is simply not available. I am very happy!

Lol! They are not the same. I have a Cerekote model already and can compare. Believe me, I am thrilled to pick this up and I got the Trijicon as well so it doesn't need to be removed. As an added benefit, I made a new friend as well!

Sorry y'all, this beauty is SOLD! P.S. don't tell my wife! 😵
