FNORD Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 It appears Midway and Brownells have the Geissele M4 hammers in stock available for order. I received an in stock notification from Midway and successfully initiated an order at Brownells. They are showing Back Order Status elsewhere. Good luck and happy shooting.

TKTM Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 For some reason Midway only shows 5 in stock. [h=2]"Attention!There are only 5 of Geissele Benelli M4 Super 90 Hammer Steel Matte available."[/h] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNORD Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 I managed to miss that. Wonder why the trickle? Is that normal attributing the niche nature of the M4 market? Brownells only indicates the part is in stock. For some reason Midway only shows 5 in stock. "Attention!There are only 5 of Geissele Benelli M4 Super 90 Hammer Steel Matte available."

Copenhagen Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Yea I added one to the cart from Midway on Saturday and decided I wanted to shop a little more so I could use one of Midways discount codes. Well they were out of stock today so I went ahead and paid extra from Brownells as I was worried about these hammers drying up again.

KB Fab Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 (edited) FY!, Midway shows that you can backorder them and that the "expected in stock date" is 09/10/12. The operative point being that you can backorder them from Midway........regardless of when they actually become available. I'd hold out and get it from Kip.

TKTM Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 FY!, Midway shows that you can backorder them and that the "expected in stock date" is 09/10/12. Well, that's bad news. Midway's backorder system defaults to a 2 weeks out projected restock date. They have been showing them due in 2 weeks since the supply disappeared last APRIL. Of course the real test will be tomorrow when their system will give an expected stock date of 9/11/12. I'll wager that a large stock will show up soon on the carriercomp website.

Amsdorf Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 OK, so remind me again...you put in a USA made hammer so you can stick more cool gizmos on the shotgun and stay within 922r compliance? Right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKTM Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 received my shipping notice this morning....hasnt everyone been waiting a LONG time for kip to make some?? My understanding based on previous posts is that Kip is the reason the Geissele hammer exists. Something like he looked into making hammers and as part of that process Geissele got on board and made them, with Kip as the initial sales outlet. Now if Kip could only talk Geissele into making AK parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangerDanger Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 922 issue mainly for people gunning for four US parts so they can install the factory collapsible stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hookster Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 And remind me again why would you want to replace your hammer? Is it a 922r thing? In my case, I want to keep my factory grips and stock so the hammer is my new third part since I took off my Surefire forend.

KB Fab Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 922 issue mainly for people gunning for four US parts so they can install the factory collapsible stock. +1 True that! Nice benefit too is that the Geissele hammer fits nicer on the pin. No slop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Later, Hookster I'm pretty sure these are the same as the OEM and would have been easier to install than the hammer...FWIW: http://freedomfightertactical.com/products-page/922r-compliant-forends/ I did get a card in the mail yesterday telling me to go down to the post office and sign for mine, so I'll let you know just how similar they are soon....

Some people have had no issues with those and others have reported and posted video of fit issues, squeaking and popping from them, If I ended up with the later my OCD wouldn't like it... :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mag tube, Hammer, Follower, and Forend.... You have a better idea? I'll let you know how they fit either today or tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 FFT has a US made disconnector and trigger that will count towards your US made part count. The trigger will also give you a better trigger pull. So overall, your options are; 1. US Made Hammer (FFT or Geiselle) 2. US Made Trigger (FFT) 3. US Made Disconnector (FFT) 4. US Made Full Length Magazine Tube (Various sources, carriercomp being the most popular) 5. US Made Magazine Follower (carriercomp, FFT or Brownells) 6. US Made Handguards (FFT, Surefire and a few other rail type makers) 7. US Made stock (Mesa Tactical) You need a minimum of three US Made parts to legally install a full length magazine tube. You need a minimum of four US Made parts if you want to use the Benelli factory collapsible stock since it counts against you as two imported parts. Obviously you can't add the Mesa Tactical Urbino stock if you're planning on running the collapsible stock. So you must select four other options.

Bluedog810 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) When I removed the old hammer I noticed that "US" was stamped on the stock hammer just like the new hammer. Anyone else have a similarly marked stock hammer? Edited September 1, 2012 by Bluedog810 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copenhagen Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Well, for what it's worth, my FFT forend is superb. Bluedog810, Concerning your US marked hammer- did you buy your shotgun new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
