Unobtanium Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Any good or poor ratings with Brownells Shotgun Followers for the M4? OEM is G2G. Quote
StrangerDanger Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 The Brownells one works fine. The only reason I got one was to add a US made part. Quote
zee10103 Posted November 25, 2009 Author Posted November 25, 2009 Is it identified as a USA Made Part? Quote
zee10103 Posted November 25, 2009 Author Posted November 25, 2009 What is G2G? Is that a Benelli part number? Thanks, TDL. Quote
Hookster Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Hi Zee, The Brownells follower is not marked as a U.S. made part but it is identified as one on their web site. G2G=good to go Take Care, Hookster Quote
zee10103 Posted November 25, 2009 Author Posted November 25, 2009 Glad to know G2G. I was worried, Thought a twinkle was among us real Men. Quote
zee10103 Posted November 28, 2009 Author Posted November 28, 2009 What it the web site went bankrupt, and no info available @ a latter date? Is it that costly to identify a piece of steel? Man, Micro chips are identified made in Japan. Only 3 mm across. Quote
Hookster Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 Hi Zee, I don't think you'll find a "Made in USA" follower that is actually marked as such. I sent an e-mail to Brownells asking if the follower was made in the USA and printed their response e-mail. I also printed the page off their site that shows the follower because it also states "Made in USA" Later, Hookster Quote
texas skeeter Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 I was worried, Thought a twinkle was among us real Men. i can ALWAYS count on ZEE for a funny colorful comment!! Quote
zee10103 Posted November 28, 2009 Author Posted November 28, 2009 Yes sir, I did the same email question. Awaiting their response. Man do you think it it that difficult to stamp a piece of tin? You know I can fab up a die and press it marked Made in USA with the Chuck tools and equipment I have. Just lit the Wood Burner Stove for the first time this season. 44 degrees in Florida this AM.

zee10103 Posted December 5, 2009 Author Posted December 5, 2009 What is the difference? 12-3" or 12-3.5" Quote
Hookster Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 What is the difference? 12-3" or 12-3.5" Hi Zee, I think they are meaning the 3.5 would be for a Benelli using a 3.5" shell (Super Black Eagle). I actually have both the Brownells 3" and 3.5" followers. They are very close to each other. The 3.5 is slightly shorter and the pattern of the holes in the side is a little different. They are both shorter than the stock Benelli M4 follower. I'm using the Brownells 3" one in my M4 but I'm sure the 3.5 would work just as well. Later, Hookster Quote
zee10103 Posted December 5, 2009 Author Posted December 5, 2009 Thank you again Sir. I will buy both sizes and follow suite. Quote
Hookster Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 What is the difference? 12-3" or 12-3.5" O.K. but the 3" one should be all you need for an M4 Hookster Quote

Later, Hookster I don't understand why it would matter because the compressed spring coils are longer than the follower anyways. The follower is not going to limit capacity provided the spring is seated at the same "depth" in it. Quote
zee10103 Posted December 5, 2009 Author Posted December 5, 2009 Yes, I could not figure out the language @ the site. I reckon I am to know their definitions. Quote

xamoel Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 why would i need an aftermarket follower? i mean were there ever problems with the OEM one? Quote
zee10103 Posted December 5, 2009 Author Posted December 5, 2009 922r compliant issues (Xamoel). Quote
xamoel Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 luckily i live in europe and am not affected by that kind of joke. Quote

Went with the Red Follower. Thanks, TDL. Quote
