I just used this tool for the first time to regrease my gas plug springs & gas plug caps. What a difference! Let this be a lesson for posterity: always use the right tool for the job. Thanks again benelliwerkes! I'm very happy with the purchase. Stranger Danger, thanks for the intel, it's appreciated. PS: from your username I can deduce you are a fan of the Austin Powers movies. They're hilarious! Have a great weekend

GMcrigger2007, Your best bet are these two websites: Benelli M4/M1014 18.5" 12ga Barrel: MGW (midwestgunworks.com) Barrel Assembly, 18-1/2", New Factory Original (Mil Spec) M4 SUPER 90 BENELLI (gunpartscorp.com) This last link would be of last resort because the vendor puts a high markup on his items... Ouch 81245 Benelli M4 OEM 18.5'' Barrel Black Matte Finish – Freedom Fighter Tactical I'd say if you have the coin, between these websites and gunbroker.com, you should not have a problem finding a barrel. The 14'' are less common, but are available both incomplete & complete if you search hard enough. Happy hunting.

Thanks for the heads up. I was able to purchase one, albeit at a significant markup. I'm still happy. I marred my gas plugs using a screwdriver to disassemble them. Very frustrating. Cheers!

RXArms I appreciate the response - it was indeed normal. I received my beautiful C-stock today and it was everything I hoped for and more. It installed easily and lined up almost perfectly with the rear sight/ receiver. Good to know my worries were unjustified. My m4 has reached its full potential.

I recently was able to purchase the desirable C stock for my Benelli m4. My m4 currently has the normal pistol grip stock it came with from the factory. I knew that the recoil tube under the stock would be the "proper" one with 3 notches in it. I assumed all was well, however, being very excited I decided I was going to remove the pistol grip stock & check the recoil tube even though my C stock has not arrived yet - as a practice run. I was able to remove it, and that is when I noticed it seems the cuts in the recoil tube are not lined up with the receiver. they are canted at about a 40-45 degree angle to the side. My question: When they install the tube at the factory, do they make sure to properly time the recoil tube, even if it does not get a C stock? I tried researching the issue and I found no complaints or instances on YouTube or forums of people getting a collapsing stock only to find that their recoil tube was not lined up. If anyone has any knowledge or answers, it would be appreciated. I want to know if this is normal or if I'm screwed.

Thank you, I'm surprised there is no video on youtube regarding this specific topic.

Greetings. I have an m4 that has the standard ghost ring sights. I'm looking to upgrade to the OEM night sights when they are back in stock. I've searched youtube for a tutorial and found practically nothing. What is the procedure for replacing the inserts? The manual omits an mention of this subject... Bob
