Hello, again guys, So, another multiple question, question. I have been looking into reloading and I have been trying to figure out which parts to get. I was watching a couple of videos on the Hornady 366 auto, and really love how the setup works, but then I saw the price lol. I really want to get it, but I would also like to get the opinions of others and their experience on reloading. Just because something is the most expensive doesn't mean it's the best. Also, there are so many reloading manuals out there, so which one is the best to get for Shotshell? Another question is how do you determine which hull is the best to get and wade and primer? How do you determine which to use? I have been watching a lot of videos on it, but everyone I watched says this is the best or that is the best and they never agree, but the one thing I did notice is that they were all using pumps and not semi-autos, so not sure if that is a big factor into which parts you get when reloading. Or if any of you know a good website or video I can watch that can help answer these questions or at least get me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, guys!

Hey guys, Hope all is well with everyone. So my question (of many) today is, what is your favorite choke? I understand that different chokes are for different shot, but are a few questions on this. Favorite company Favorite choke for buck Favorite choke for bird Favorite choke for slug What would be the best choke for using Federal flight control Thanks, guys for all your input I appreciate it more than you guys know and I take all your comments seriously and into consideration for everything I'm doing with my M4.

🤣🤣🤣 Yeah, I'm not sure what is up with FFT. I have been doing a lot more research on parts and looking at some of the recommendations you guys have made to me and others and I just can't seem to understand why they are so expensive compared to others. I get that they are American made and he is running a small business and that is not easy I respect him for that I've been there, but man some of those prices are just outrageous. Especially considering other companies make the same product and are just as good and have been way less. I don't mean to bash the guy, I love what he is doing and I hope and pray he continues to have a successful business

No, I have not. I have been doing really well with JP Enterprise buffers, I like them a lot. Just got my Blitzkrieg installed on my Benelli and man what a pain in the butt. So they didn't have that little wrench in stock when I got the sight and not looking and thinking about it I didn't have the right tool for the job. Welp I finally got the dang sight on then I realized it was pushed all the way to the right lol. Then I had to loosen the nut back up adjust and get the windage set then tighten back down without adjusting the windage. So, let's just say I recommend everyone either get that tool first or get it before your sight because I don't want to repeat what I had to use to get this dang thing on, it's actually embarrassing. But now that it is on and sighted in man I gotta say it's a cool front sight and I think way better than the stock tritium sight that came with it. I'm about to head out and try this new sight with some 3" 00 Buck I've been wanting to try out. Hopefully, all goes well. Thanks for the recommendation Jaason.

Yeah, they are having sales on one site and no sales on another. Not sure why they do that for.

Really? That is interesting. I have never removed the stock from mine yet so I don't know, but maybe I should watch a video on it.

LOL. That's the word. Thank you.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_slLXMpZ9c So, I found this video of theirs and watched it a couple of times. So they are installing all these parts on an actual M4 and not a clone. When he is installing the stock it looks like he just reuses the same screw he took from the OEM stock and not some other one. The handguard looks to take adapters, but they seem pretty sturdy and not that difficult to install. The carbon-fiber mag tube looked like a typical swap with no issues with threading it right on. Also, at the end of video when he is shooting I believe he is shooting Winchester Super X, probably slugs judging by the recoil and it shot with no issues. Obviously, it is an edited video and they can leave out some important parts. All the pieces seemed to fit fine on the M4 with no issues in installation, again as far as they showed. Still think I will wait to see more and hear from them. I did find a couple of reviews on Rainer Arms website and Reddit, that were not very positive.

$750?????!!!! They must be smoking something. But you know what they will do they will buy it from you for $750, then turn around and sell it on their shelves for $1750. The exact word is passing my mind right now, but some gun shops do it where they will let you sell the gun at their shop for whatever price you want, but you need to give them like 2% of what you sell it for. The is a word for it, but it is totally lost in my mind right now. Yet, Im sure somebody will see that on here and will snatch it up real quick from you.

Thank you so much for your input I appreciate it very much. If I may ask you a few questions as to why you answered the way you did, so I can have a better understanding on these parts. I am still rather new to Benellis and any chance I get to be educated on this amazing weapon I will be more than happy to take. FFT Trigger Pack Upgrade + Wolff Trigger Springs- I am chasing compliance as you say, I would rather have more than less for my own peace of mind I know many would probably say it is not worth it, but I am weird lol, and it will just make me feel better about it. But I am a bit concerned about you mentioning the hammer. Does this package significantly lessen the trigger weight? I love the trigger on it now and I don't want it to have a super light trigger. If it takes up the slack a bit then I don't mind, but I really don't want a light trigger on this shotgun. FFT Premium Aluminum Follower- Yeah, I agree. I will probably go with TTI or another brand. FFT Wolff Premium High Power Magazine Spring- I was under the impression that you need to change the spring when putting in a new extended mag tube for reliable feeding. Is that not the case? TTI Benelli AccuGuide Extended Carrier- I was going to have the feed polished and I figured having this as well will help with quicker reloads. Is that not the case? Again I'm new to this and still learning, please be easy on me lol. RX Benelli M4 Magazine Cap Titanium- They are just cool lol. Briley 3Gun M-LOK Handguard 13"- What are your reasons? I genuinely want to know, I hear some say yes some say no, what say you? A&S Enhanced Trigger Guard- You won't buy another because you already have one or because you don't like them. If you don't like it, then why? Are there problems with them? Black River Manufacturing Elite Collapsible Stock Carbon Fiber- Yeah, I am currently doing research on this company, I am still on the fence about these guys. Depending their response email and what they say to my questions will determine if I go forward with them. Im not a big fan of pistol grips on shotguns either, but I am not the only one using it. My wife loves this shotgun as well and she is a small woman, the current stock on it isn't working for her it is way too big so that is why I am going collapsable. If it was just for me I would put a traditional non-pistol grip fixed stock on it personally. I know this may be a lot to answer and if you don't I understand, I am just honestly trying to learn as much about this as possible and try to get the best parts I can get as well as meet 922(r). I know we won't all agree on everything but I love hearing positive criticism and people's personal experiences especially from those who are further down the road than me. That is how we learn and get better right?

Man, if I wasn't already dropping all this cash into modding my current M4 I would buy this from you in a second. Good deal.

The building and the location does look about right to be manufacturing parts and accessories, but are they doing it there or is that just a place where they accept the shipments from overseas? Hopefully, I will hear back from them soon enough to let you guys know what they say.

Yeah, this is one of the questions I asked them in an email.

Yeah, I kinda figure that might be the case, but I just emailed them a bunch of questions about their parts. As soon as they respond to me I will let you guys know what they say.

Ohh ok, I see. Perfect, thank you for the info sir I appreciate it very much!

Awesome info, thanks! I will check it out. I'm not really worried about the cost part, I know regardless this is gonna put a hole in my pocket lol, but what I am leaning toward is the dependability and the quality of the products. Ill pay a premium if I know I don't have to worry about it. If I can save a couple of bucks then yeah I am all in for that, but the price isn't my top concern. I do agree though that FFT definitely doesn't hold back on their pricing lol.

So, I have been doing a lot of research on all the different companies that make parts for the M4. Some I like and others not too much, but to each their own. Yet, I have found one company, or actually a few companies, that all seem to be connected to Armsco. They are Black River Manufacturing , Orthos Arms , and Otus Arms. They all have the same website design and graphics as well as sell pretty much the same items give or take. All their Youtube channels also have only been posting videos since the beginning of the year so I take it that they are new to the shotgun field. Now with all that being said, after looking at all their websites and the items they are selling for the M4 and the SBE 3/ M2, I gotta say they all look pretty cool and have very interesting concepts and are selling them for pretty good prices. They are based in Illinois, but I can't figure out if the items they are selling like the collapsable stocks and the full-length mag tubes are manufactured here in the US or elsewhere. Also, I can't find any reviews for their items and their Youtube videos have the comments disabled. At first, I thought it was Armscor, the guys who run RIA, but no, not the same. So, any info or experience you guys have with these companies please let me know. I hate to be a guinea pig and have to test these products out only to find they are garbage and don't work, but I also don't want to be the last guy holding out and not buying these parts until they raise the price or are out of stock. Check out their websites and tell me what you guys think or if you have experience with them, good or bad, please let us know. Thanks, guys I appreciate it.

Thanks for the info. I was checking on Briley and FFT, and there doesn't seem to be an option for the A&S trigger guard to have a load channel. Not exactly sure what that is. Is there another site maybe you can point me to for that?

Sweet setup. I'm working on m AR-10 to pretty much have the same setup. Having issues with my Odin Works barrel shroud and nut. These Odin Works are pretty nice but they make their barrel nut and adapter outta plastic which I didn't know at the time and has since cracked now I need a new one and of course, they are all sold out.

Yeah, I would love to see how that hood works out and how it looks. The only thing I can think of that might be an issue is if you have an optic mounted.

FFT Steel No-Spin Charging Handle FFT Trigger Pack Upgrade + Wolff Trigger Springs FFT Premium Aluminum Follower FFT Wolff Premium High Power Magazine Spring FFT Steel Full-Length Magazine Tube FFT Oversized Bolt Release Button TTI Benelli AccuGuide Extended Carrier RX Benelli M4 Magazine Cap Titanium Briley 3Gun M-LOK Handguard 13" A&S Enhanced Trigger Guard Aridus Industries Universal QD Shell Holder Black River Manufacturing Elite Collapsible Stock Carbon Fiber These are the parts I have ultimately decided to get. The only one that I am iffy about is the Black River Manufacturing stock. I have not been able to find any type of reviews on it and the only video I can find has the comments disabled. They look like really cool stocks, but just because they look cool doesn't mean they are going to function correctly. I respect all your experience on this forum and would like to get some input on these parts and if there are better options or if I am missing something that will help with function and reliability as well as 922(r) compliance parts. Once I get a final ok from everyone and that these parts are good to go then my plan is to order everything at once and once I get all the parts I am going to take them down to my gunsmith and have it all correctly installed at one time instead of piecemeal. Thank you guys for all your post and input I have been learning a lot from you guys and I appreciate it.

I just ordered this same one. These things are awesome. Can't wait to get it and take it out on range.

I meant that for the op. Figured he wanted the black instead of the H20 and I wanted the H20 instead of the black.

Wonder why they don't sell their stuff individually. I would love to have that extended mag tube.

Agree. But I don't think the parts he was using were generally crap, they just didn't know what they were doing when installing them lol.
