Unobtanium Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 My SFM80 rail was on back-order apparently. So, I called SF to see what the deal was (Massive LE order, production ceased, etc.). Anyway, they said that they had revised the "lip" on the metal portion to help eliminate installation errors and increase stability, and that mine would be one of the new one's, shipping in 2-3 weeks.

thomjb Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I had to "custom" fit mine to my M4, not a big deal, but man I hate filing/grinding on a brand new part. Works great now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unobtanium Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 I love cross-examining company claims. Anyway, the CS rep I spoke with today said the rails are still 3-4 weeks out, and was unaware of any design change, stating "we just need to make more". Well, I got my shipping information tonight. Says it shipped and I have a tracking #. Go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Benelli M4 Factory Handguards: 5.0 Ounces Surefire M80 Rail System (stripped): 7.9 Ounces The added weight shouldn't break the bank. So long as you don't add a pound of stuff to it. Surefire's tech support is notorious for that kind of crap. Same with Brownells. I've been waiting for a PWS billet buffer for 3 months from them.

Super33 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I never had any installation problems with my M80. And it fits nice and snug. I've dealt with Surefire's customer service before with a cracked X400 lens and they replaced it with a new X400 promptly with no questions asked.

Their CS is EXCELLENT regarding warranty claims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
