fullhouse Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 new to the forum, picked up my new M4 today. (my first shot gun) read on this site to run it wet during the break-in so going to the range this weekend with a can of clp and 100rnds of some quality suggested ammo. also after this purchase i have only couple hundred bucks left so what must have upgrade to do first, full mag tube,bolt handle,or bolt release. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 You can break the weapon in with cheap high brass buckshot and slugs from Walmart. They sell 15 rounds for like 10 dollars. Or, you can use even cheaper high brass birdshot. I believe it is about 10 dollars for 25 rounds. I'd then run 200 rounds of bulk pack 12 gauge from Walmart through it to determine if it is broke in or not. I'd get the full length magazine tube as my first upgrade. I'd opt for the carriercomp Titanium magazine tube which also comes with the US made follower and a higher quality Wolff magazine spring. I'd recoommend buying the carrierrcomp hammer at the same time so you'd be 922 compliant with the factory pistol grip stock on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullhouse Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 my m4 was sold to me through a ffl dealer so should be r922 complaint for them to even sell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saym14 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 tocomply with 922 you can not increase the mag capcity unless you add three USA made parts. or the 922 police will get you. I would get. 1) GGG bolt relaease pad 2) carrier comp Ti tube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Your M4 was sold to you in compliance. However, the addition of a full length magazine tube will require you to add enough US made parts to bring the imported parts count down. Fortunately these days, this is a rather easy prospect. You must replace three (3) specific parts to maintain 922 compliance with the pistol grip stock. If you plan to add the factory collapsible stock, you'll need to replace four (4) specific parts. 1. Stock 2. Hammer 3. Forearm 4. Magazine Tube 5. Magazine Follower To be clear, I do not believe anyone has ever been hassled by the cops about this since most cops simply aren't aware or do not care. You're more likely to be hassled by a douche range Nazi at your local range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bolt release IS NOT A LISTED PART towards compliance!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not list USA made parts, I listed the parts I recommend he adds to his M4. he didnt ask what parts he needs for 922 he asked what he should spend his $$ on.

fullhouse Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 looking at the dmw moly chrome tube mag. ext. any good-bad on this product. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 An extension won't count towards a US made part, but it will function fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renault Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 If you have a couple hundred dollars I bet you could easily meet 922r compliance AND get a full-length tube. The gun doesn't feel right without a full-length tube or a mag extension, so I'd suggest that as your first modification. Something about only having 5 rounds feels... sad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saym14 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I am so glad too that its cleared up it makes me warm and fuzzy inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
