flya727 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 After much looking and price shopping, I landed my first Benelli, an all black M4. Is a standard 11707. But just from reading posts here for a few days I have learned that mine is a 2008 model (CC on the barrel), and it is a 2 port barrel and it has the 3 position recoil rod if I would ever put on a collapsing stock! I got mine from a shop in Arkansas this week, NIB except for a small scratch on the left of receiver, for $1095 + 35 shipping! One question for a newbie. My ghost ring sights have the kind of night sights that will glow if you charge them with a light source, is this standard on all M4's? I tried to post a few pics, but I guess I need a few more posts. Well it is a standard black M4 with a few extra's I added, will post when I can.

Rick Welcome Flya, Yeah, I wasn't real impressed with the stock night sights and replaced mine right away with the Meprolights. They're nice and bright tritiums. You'll want a 5.5mm wrench to change out the front post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flya727 Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 Thanks for the warm welcom,I live in Florida, but bought it from Bullseye Guns and Ammo. I will have to look up the city, but nice people. Any M4 owners out there have the same ghost ring sights as mine (night sights that have to be charged)? I am thinking of getting a Meprolight front sight only night sight, as the rear only distracts me. I have the Mepro front on my HK MP5K and really like the transaction speed in low light, I live in a very semi rual area. So I have lights on and around my house but no street lights if you know what I mean. Thanks, Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangerDanger Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Mine just had white painted dots. They didn't glow. But mine are older. A 11703 model. The rear tritium isn't meant to use to align the three dots. It's meant to give you a visual reference to where the rear ghost ring is. When you're face is indexed, you can't really see the rear. This is why the meprolights rear dots are so small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
