    Ammo recommendations for M4

    in Benelli

    Posted

    I bought a bunch of Black Aces for blasting and they cycle well.  They are a bit long which may limit capacity.  RIO works good as well and tends to be less expensive over the core American brands.  Fetter as well, although I doubt we will see russian around much longer.

    Still looking for a M4 collapsible stock. Crazy these are so hard to find.

    I ordered one for $267 from cmc over a yr ago and still have not received it. They keep telling me benelli is using all parts(collapsible stock) to build complete guns right now. 

    Are you LEO or MIL? I tried ordering from CMC and was told no (as retired MIL.) 

    In the end, I ordered an M1014 with the collapsible stock then swapped the recoil tube from my regular M4.  Much more practical then spending half the price of a new gun for just the stock.

    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

    I agree - I purchase most of my guns off the Internet as the local shops do not have the models I am looking for.  I have a couple go-to FFLs to do the transfers.  Osage County Guns is another source for Benelli shotguns.

    M3 questions

    in Benelli

    Posted

    I have a M3 and wanted to do the same (add the 2 round extension).  It will not throw weight off as they offer it that way from the factory.  I searched high and low for months, and could not find the Benelli kit in stock (wanted to keep the gun all OEM.)  I used a SuperNova extension kit for a while - it fit/worked; it just was a different length and did not have the barrel clamp in the right spot.  

    I finally got tired of the bastardized setup and purchased the full length M3 tube, nut, and the plastic parts from Midwest and swapped the whole thing.  Contrary to what I read online, the plastic pieces did not melt when heating to remove the threadlocker (I bought replacements just in case as they were relatively inexpensive.)  I like the full tube better - the extension made removing the barrel more of a hassle plus the look is a lot cleaner.  I used the barrel clamp from the Supernova kit.

    I also swapped the stock with a telescoping one from my SuperNova, and am really happy with the final results.  Below picture is from Benelli (mine has different stock.)  You can see how the full length tubes looks in comparison to the extension.

    WTB: M1 Super 90 12 ga, 28" RH barrel

    I picked it up from a small shop in Ohio who listed on their website and Gunbroker.  Gunbroker saved searches can be useful in finding unicorns if you check regularly and act quick when you find something. Prices can range significantly depending on the seller's desires.

    Fetter 00 buck

    I picked up a load of their buck and slugs on cyber Monday with free shipping.  Just came in this week so I will try both this weekend.  They look good and are significantly shorter than Black Aces and RIO.  Not buffered, however i just want them for blasting.
