    Oversized safety?

    okay........the commentary was mostly inspired by someone mentioning they were losing time getting the mechanical safety off with Brand X v. Y.

     

    Lesson of the Day: do not put your finger ON the trigger in anticipation of engaging an identified target.

    IF an individual truly believes an identified target may require servicing then it's important to understand the fundamental concept of human reaction times and safe muzzle direction.

    The same reaction time is required to pull the trigger, when your finger is OFF the trigger outside the trigger guard AND muzzle pointed in a safe direction (read "not directly at the target) as the reaction time required to pull the trigger when your finger is already resting on the trigger with the muzzle pointed directly at a target. A safe muzzle direction, safety OFF prior to engaging a target, is infinitely more safe to all parties involved, than the alternative of finger on the trigger with safety off / on with muzzle pointed directly at a engagement target.......the principle is evident every time one observes several LEO's surrounding a perp on the ground with weapons drawn with sights on target.....this is the repeated error of unintended discharges is seen much too often.

    Thanks for the effort in your explanation but I don’t believe any of that addressed the original question at all.

    Yes, the tolerances are so close on mine that it will only fully seat when I screw on the mag cap. It has loosened up a bit but it still needs the cap, I didn't remove any washers. I know for sure there won't be any play in it, you might try putting a dab of oil on it.

    Thanks for the info!

    @StreetSweeper56 have you had any issues getting your barrel to fully seat against the receiver with the Briley handguard on? Mine originally wouldn’t seat. I ended up having to remove a washer from the barrel guide ring to get it to seat. Now sometimes it will fully seat but a lot of the time it is still slightly off from fully seating. Cant figure out the “sweet spot”. Have you experienced anything similar? 

    Whats the best m lok handguard for the benelli m4?

    Please do!  How easy is it to field strip with the briley handguard? Thank you

    It just about the same to field strip as the original handguard. Just remove the barrel and slide the handguard off. I did have to remove one of the washers inside the barrel guide ring (pictured) in order to get the barrel to go flush with the receiver though.

    Have you tried screwing on the mag tube cap? On mine, the tolerances are so tight that is the only way I can get mine to seat fully.

    Yeah even pressing on it as hard as I could  with the buttstock on the ground it wouldn’t go flush. I just removed one of the washers from the guide ring and now it fits flush ??

    I’m trying to install the Briley M-Lok handguard. When the handguard is on I cannot get the barrel to go flush with the receiver. Best I can tell is that the barrel guide ring is not fully inserting into the adapter (pictured) on the handguard. I noticed the spring and washers inside the guide ring that I assume is preventing the guide ring from fully seating in the handguard. Can I remove those washers/spring? Are they needed?

    From the M4 Manual: "NOTE: the gun must be loaded with the hammer cocked so that the carrier latch can retain the cartridges as they are inserted in the magazine."

    The Benelli M series uses a unique cartridge loading action. All the details of "why" it is that way is not explained in the manual. However, watching the action indicates that in order to keep the complexities of the interoperability simple (i.e., increase reliability) and allow tactical flexibility of operations, Benelli designed it that way. 

    In the below videos observe the relationship of the cartridge drop lever and the cartridge latch when the hammer is cocked versus fired position.  Yes, a little complex but it appears the design interoperability is part of the drop/ impact induced firing safety system.

    Another operation that is allowed with the way Benelli designed the loading interoperability is to support the Combat Reload (i.e., loading with the bolt forward and a round chambered) supporting topping off the magazine (tactical reload), changing out or adding mixed rounds (shot vs slug vs 2 3/4" vs 3") and malfunction operations.  After watching the below videos, as a mental drill, visualize a combat load operation as to the relationship of all the moving parts. ?

    These two videos show the actions in motion and will let you see how the shell lifter works with respect to the hammer. 

     

    Thanks for that explanation Cobra!

    Darn good question, wondered that myself but I just went with it.

    Yeah, one would think you should be able to load the magazine without having the gun cocked.
