    M4 weight

    in Benelli

    Posted

    I realize it’s an old topic but still, this could be useful for some. More weight could be reduced by using Toni System polymer forend handguard with mlok inserts which totals to 94 grams. Also Toni System polymer stock, which is 350gr against 721gr of pistol grip folding stock or 606gr field stock.

    I've literally never heard of this company until now, which makes sense as they're based in Europe.

    Had I not bought a Briley just now I probably would have been after this right away. It's lightweight, strong, tool-less, and looks like it has really nice texturing built in.

    If you can get ahold of one, the TRex Arms extended scout mount for Arisaka lights might make this work. You could shove the light very far forward off the handguard, and actuate it with a clicky tail cap press. Your hand would probably still hit it, but you'd be hitting the small low profile MLok mount instead of a large light body.

     

    Thanks for sharing, I think this is a great option for everyone seeking light mounting solutions with the IWC mount off the market, while maintaining tool-less take down and a negligible weight change from the stock plastic handguards.

    Thanks for suggestion. I looked at Trex mount you’ve mentioned but it’s kinda putting the light further away from the gun and light that I have is not Surefire. If I’ll use a ligh, ideally I want it or it’s mount to have a quick release so I can attach it whenever I need to and be mounted as close to the barrel as possible for better weight balancing. Since there is no substitute for IWC mount, maybe I can tey creating one, say a newer version. But I need an IWC mount still to take some measurements.

    Just a quick review. Main idea is to decrease the weight. Stock aluminum T Pro handguard is 323gr, new TST is only 92gr giving 231gr of weight reduction. It’s made of polymer with aluminum Mlok inserts screwed in. Handguard is installed tight, zero rattle or play. Just what I would expect from Toni System. Elevated top end covers the barrel almost to the top. There is a texture on the surface, so there is no way your hand will slide on this thing in any condition. It looks very sturdy. It’s questionable how usable would Mlok slots be in the place they are as my hand covers them all. I assume front one could be usable with a forward extender for flashlight installation. All in all I’m very happy with it and can’t wait to give it a go at the range.

    My M4 T Pro has a spring at the pistons. Can it be removed?

    I remember this question on that part coming up a few years ago when the spring first appeared. According to a Benelli rep the spring is being installed to stop gas piston or factory forearm rattle but does not affect function if removed.

    Oh, I see now. Factory forend is all aluminum and pistons could very well be hitting it as tolerances are tight. Very nice, so I can remove it using new forend. Thanks!

    I have just received Toni System forend designed for M4 which I was planning to install on my M4 T Pro ro reduce it’s weight. But I noticed that I can’t install it as there is a part of the forend that interferes with this spring in the pictures. I noticed there is no such spring on M4 but it is on my M4 T Pro. If I remove it the forend installs flawlessly. My question is what this spring is for and is it ok to remove it, thinking if it would affect shotgun operation in any way?

    I haven’t tried yet, but I believe that you can. 
    I’ll borrow my Dad’s gun later and give it a try. 

    Apparently there is a difference. I have just received Toni System forend designed for M4 which I was planning to install on my M4 T Pro ro reduce it’s weight.

    M4 Gen 2 (Pro) integral mounts Scalarworks vs MI

    in Benelli

    Posted · Edited by CEBEP

    I checked few related threads on the forum but couldn’t find definitive answers. I have M4 Gen 2 (Pro) and am planing to use Vortex Sparc Solar. My understanding is that mounting it on it’s own lower 1/3 plate will give no cowotness of iron sights, and mount is not QD. So I was thinking about integral mounts from Scalarworks Sync/01 and Midwest industries BENELLI M4-AIMPOINT T2 MOUNT.

    My question is if both of these mounts provide the same hight for the sights? I’ll use Aimpoint Micro footprint as I assume this is what Vortex is using.

    If anyone had an experience with Sparc, it would also be nice to know how these mounts will translate to Sparc Solar as full cowotness or lower. My preference would be lower cowotness. 
     

    Thanks.
