[M4 pressure pad wire routing? (iwc scout mount/surefire)]

Does anyone have any examples of how you've configured the wiring on your m4 with a pressure pad? I have a surefire scout mounted on an iwc scout mount, and will have a new tail cap to accept my pressure pad soon. (velcro type.)

Wondering if anyone has any preferences, or better yet, photos of how they routed the wires and why. I have a general idea but figured I'd check here first in case someone had a really slick setup. 

Current thinking I'll adhere the velcro to the opposite side handguard panel, and run the wire between the mag tube and the barrel? Unsure. 

Thanks

For basically the same price I'm super happy with my Pelican a year later and I've used it for not only a Benelli but a mk12 traveling by air as well. Highly recommend it!

What a great collection!

What do y’all suggest I do? 

Idk man, but that's like asking the Porsche dealership about how to fix your lada. Maybe there's a Panzer forum?

[M1014/M4 UID tag inquiry]

I'm looking to buy one of these for an M4, and was wondering if the following info was correct for the M1014:

TAMCN E1761
NSN 1005014723147

I'm most interested in the TAMCN because I can't actually find it listed anywhere.

Thanks ,I really didn't realize that the 1750 was that big.I have a couple of small Pelican cases and i like their products. The 1700 is probably the way to go. I don't want anything too big. I have the Dockocil which is fine but i need a shorter case for the M4 .

I was torn between the 1700 & 1720, and the 1700 was the only one that fit into the trunk of both cars I needed it to fit inside. Also, the 1700 won't fit some ARs unless the receivers are separated. I don't have an issue with this, and I also bought  receiver covers for this reason, but just keep this in mind. Be warned that the 1700 is quite heavy, even without anything in it. Surprisingly so. Good luck!

Do you think the 1750 would be a better fit for the pistol grip & field stock M4s ? 

The 1750 is overkill. The 1720 is still manageable if you're really worried about it, but tbh the 1700 is max size for air travel without insane fees and it actually fits in my cars (anything larger won't) and stores at home easily. The 1750 is just gigantic and probably weights a ton more.

Nice to know if someone wants the light mount it’s still available somewhere.  However this is not the part in question.  

FWIW I ordered from them, and while the site *says* they are in stock, they are indeed backordered. I spoke with the customer service lady and mounts plus and she doesn't know when they'll be produced again, and told me that she's been in contact with the former IWC owner's wife.

So, again, don't order from there unless you genuinely don't mind waiting. They don't seem to have them in stock and won't have them in stock any sooner than the actual IWC site if that ever reopens again. (It's been at least 3 months now)

Nice set up, I was looking at the 1700 as well but I ended up with an old Dockocil case which worked out perfectly  from a friend looking to get rid of it. The company was bought out by Plano and I was able to get new keys for the case .

Thanks!

The way I see it, the shotgun is robust enough not to worry too much, and if it barely fits, great - I'll just give it room at the muzzle and let the recoil pad hit the side. I'll be buying some replacement foam and cutting for different configurations. It can serve multiple weapons without having to buy more cases. I'll also be carrying an ar15 in it with the upper/lower receivers separated. The only downside is that It's a *surprisingly* heavy case, but it seems like it does the job I need it to do - Protect and contain the firearm & accessories.

[Pelican 1700 case & Benelli M4 question]

Angled to match the stock, with a bias towards the butt pad closer to the side of the case because, well, it's a butt pad. I wouldn't say it's comfortable but it's definitely possible. Probably more so if you angled it completely from corner to corner. So, FWIW this will fit a collapsed M4 and you won't have to pay extra airline fees because the 1700 is just within the limits for large bags for air travel. (62 linear inches) @bigoo7e

Well, I ordered it. I'll post pics when I get it for anyone else to reference. If I can't use it for the M4, I can use it for something else. 🤷‍♂️

[Pelican 1700 case & Benelli M4 question]

Does anyone here happen to have a Pelican 1700 case they could place their M4 w/ collapsible stock in to test fitment? I am considering a case and the 1700 size fits my application best, and the size looks to be very, very close. If you wouldn't mind posting some photos, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!
