FLAWLS1 Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 I just got back from my local gun store and I was checking out the M4 and the finish looks a little different. It's the same color, but it looks to be more glossy. Looks pretty sweet! Quote

Was it grossly different? Quote

It seemed to have a little oil on it, but the finish was definitely slightly glossy compared to mine (Mine has oil on the barrels right now). Quote

Parkerizing is like that. It depends on the mixture, size of the zinc and other particles, and concentration of them in the "bath". It can vary. Quote

The only real advantage (which is debatable) is the fixed choke. Won't accept C-stock functionally. Quote

Won't accept C-stock functionally. dont forget the most important part the cool factor of the american flag. If I wasnt so poor I would get one prob never shoot it but super cool just to have. Quote
FLAWLS1 Posted August 30, 2012 Author Posted August 30, 2012 Does anyone know what finish is on the Benelli or who does the finishes for the M4? Is it just parkerized? All the parkerized finishes I see are black, but the Benelli is clearly dark gray. I called Benelli yesterday to talk about their finish and they said if I wanted to get it refinished I would have to find another place who does finishes because they only do finishes that are under warranty?
