Thanks for the information everyone. I have a side question - the limited edition "M1014" (11701) with the fixed stock - the tube doesn't have the notches to make it collapsible, so will the entire tube assembly need to be replaced to get the 3 position function? I think I read that it was very hard and you risk mangling the receiver due to the locktite. Is this correct? This would make the 11703 more desirable to me over the 11701 because switching over to a collapsible stock would be easier.
Yes. But good luck finding a collapsible stock.

Botach is a crap vendor
Agreed. Botach refused to sell me pants because somehow a piece of clothing is LE only? But i was able to buy the exact pants directly from the manufacturer without issue. Optics planet and botach are both companies to avoid.

Benelli complicated this by reusing the 10703 model number. There have been two versions of the 10703. The newer one comes with the fixed field stock, it likely has the three position receiver extension beneath it. The older one which came after the first run of the M1014 has the neutered receiver extension and came with a fixed pistol grip stock. This model also came with the hated 4 port barrel which would destroy the bolt carrier in short order when used with standard power loads.
It sounds like the model you are looking to purchase is the newer of the two, but I would still check by removing the stock to see which extension it has and by looking down the barrel and making sure only two gas ports are visible.
The m4 i have is the 11703 model and under the stock is the 3 position piece and only has 2 gas ports. Now im curious what other differences there are across all the m4 models aside from exterier looks and butt stocks.
-
Yes it does. I have the 11703 model and i unthreaded my stock to check and verify.

Negative. It is just a demonstration item for cutaway views of the inner workings.
Would have been cool to experiment with a transparent stock with cerakote patterns to see what can be done.

Yup hand tight.
On the other guns, you just apply thread locker and bottom out the threads. There is literally no way to torque those completely smooth tubes (and these are typically aluminum).
Is that transparent rifle grip stock a real product one can buy?

Im so upset. I didnt see this post until today and i missed out. Dammit....
-
Mine was insanely tight out the box. Loosened up once i put several hundred rounds through it and now disassembly and assembly is easy.

There are many reasons I like my Agency Arms handguard. I can mount a light bar extension on the Mlok and move my Modlite further forward decreasing shadowing, I can also add a pressure pad, a extra shell on the rail, and also have a hand stop mounted underneath via the mlock. My latest addition is a nano tool and holder to adjust my aimpoint red-dot sight.
Additionally I can add G10 scales, or use presently, bcm mlok rail covers for grip enhancement
That watch band. Where did you get it?

Just buy the plastic stock from the M1 or M3 Super 90 and install the hardware and sling mount afterwards. Way easier than taking apart one assembled for the M4.
Is there any difference between the stock for the m1/m3 and the m4 for the rifle grip?

You want the LPA BAR D4. It is currently out of stock where I normally source them:

No. I have never found this to be the case, and even on my pistols I have sometimes run "blackout" sights like the ones Kyle Defoor branded. Why? I am using a light. It is bright AF. My sights, even if they are neon green 532nm retina searing acid jello color, are going to be "black" when viewed in relief behind my WML.
The other aspect is night sights that you brought up, not just bright colored sights. There is some utility to them in very low light if you are not using a WML, but this is going to probably fall under irresponsible use, as you are not likely to PID your target unless the target area is well lit...and then we again have the sights black in stark relief. Next is the ghost ring tritium close to your eye. This is terrible. It will mess with your natural night vision and cause pupillary constriction and it just sucks. The only people I know who DO run night sights on long guns forego the rears.
Night sights under NODS are a detriment for obvious reasons.
In short, I replace my rear ghost ring with a plain black one from LPA that does not have the dots/ "wings", and I remove the FSP, clean out the reactive paint, replace it with white automotive touch-up paint, clear-coat over it with automotive touch-up clear coat, and re-install it. It looks factory and gets rid of the stupid glowing FSP.
I like the idea of a blacked out rear ghost ring a lot. I also run blacked out sights on my handguns. Do you have a link where i can obtain a blacked out ghost ring?

I moved to the FFT rail + ADM Ti mount and whatever optic is your flavor. For me, that's T-series micros.
Why?
I want the ability to use irons if my optic fails...that is a huge reason for "can I see irons through the optic?"
However, optics do not often just take a dump where the lights go out. We have evolved to the point that optics are honestly pretty darn reliable in and of themselves. Even on a gauge.
So what causes optics to fail? In my case, it has been rain. You get rain on lenses, it can freeze (I hunt in the midwest, and sometimes it rains, drizzles, then freezes as the day goes on, etc.) or you get intractable fogging no matter what you treated it with. This causes it to be a royal pain or even impossible to use the RDS. I use closed emitter types, but even worse with open emitters like RMR. This makes "seeing my irons through the window" an equally trash idea to implement. If the dot is messed up due to optical distortion, the FSP will likely not be super awesome to visualize, either. Maybe for you this is mud, snow, took a sim round to the window, whatever. But for me, it's humidity/rain and cold related.
With a SYNC, you are then stuck. You will not be easily aiming that weapon. You have lost both primary and backup sighting methods because something got rained on and temps dropped, or mud, or whatever.
With a QD system like the ADM Ti mount, I can pop the optic off, stow it in my pocket, and finish the hunt/training course/whatever.
Further, the ADM Ti on a 1913 rail places the optic a hair higher than the SYNC, which is PERFECT for the mid setting of the C-Stock without NODS. With NODS, it places the optic higher for better use with NODS with the stock fully extended. It really is the "sweet spot", while the SYNC is more tuned toward being a good cheek weld without NODS, with the stock fully out. I prefer to run the stock on the mid (12.25" LOP) setting when I'm not running NODS.
Further still is attachment method. I prefer 5 screws to 2, with 2 locators.
So far, the ADM Ti mount has held up EXCELLENT and I have had no issues of any kind with it regarding zero shift or any other malady. The new Ti levers/bolts are physically much stronger than the previous iterations.
Wow. Thank you for this. I did not think of it that way. I am going to look up the mounts you noted here. Quick question while on the topic of optics. Are night sights for the benelli m4 worth it? Maybe just a tritium front sight and keep the rear non night signt?

I have never had this issue, but it has been a very very near thing, to the point that I wondered about it. As much as I love the SYNC, I have transitioned away from it to other solutions.
What other solutions do you like?

Is there a good sling mount to replace the oem sling mount on the rifle grip stock on the benelli m4? Thank you.

Wasn’t aware, I got mine some months ago, but relatively recently. Guess I should look around before I respond .
Lots of shortages right now for any benelli parts. Im still trying to get many myself.

Carrier comp will sell you just the spring for 13, 17 after shipping or you can do FFT for 20 plus if I remember right 20-30 shipping.
Are they? I saw they are having a shortage on springs and not selling any right now.

The OEM choke on the left was cleaned up as best as I could with wire brushes to remove the rust. You can see the discoloration near the top of the choke and there was a lot of rust inside the threads. This rust was also inside the threads of the barrel. The choke on the right is an OEM choke that I had sent out for NP3 plating thru Robar years ago.
Is np3 plating or cerakoting better for corrosion resistance?
-
So in other words, just use the briley grease on the threads? How often should i grease the threads

I haven't seen one unfortunately. Realistically it sticks out about .875 inches.
Thanks for your help. You have a ton of great info. Do the flush mobil chokes from briley with the black oxide coating end up rusting like the oem chokes?

Yep, I went with the IC. You could certainly get it cerakoted. You also cannot shoot steel shot thru it, but that was of no issue to me since I never shoot that crap.
I dont shoot that garbage either. Do they make a titanium choke thats not extended but is flush to the barrel? I cannot find one on briley's website.
New M4 - Thanks for the info
