nikos Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Hey there everyone! Glad to me a new member and a proud papa of a Benelli M4. New here and new to Benelli and looking for some tips. Ammo to use, ammo to avoid, mods, opinions, etc. So far in the works I have a Mesa Tactical Urbino stock, gg&g tac bolt release, Mesa Tactical rail / shot shell carrier (all on back order from Botach) and a preorder for an ATI fore end -considering a surefire for the rails but damn they are pricey. Heard good things and excited to be a part of the community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Welcome, we're glad you found us! Your Benelli is well known to run off of any ammo. Typically it is recommended that they be broken in with buckshot. That Mesa stock is a great choice. Like many people I found that the extended bolt release gets in the way of the bolt, I removed mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan GSR Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 welcome to the forum sent you a pm, i have a surefire rail i'm not using Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikos Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) thanks Black. Will these work? and is this a pretty decent deal? http://www.cabelas.com/product/Shooting/Ammunition/Ammunition-Sale%7C/pc/104792580/c/104691780/sc/109620180/Federal-12-gauge-Top-Gun-Pink-Target-Loads/1188669.uts?avad=48247_e4414903&WT.mc_id=al35987&rid=12&WT.tsrc=AFF a range master at a local shooting range told me they needed to be higher velocity or the ARGO system wouldn't cycle properly. softer recoiling rounds would lead to unreliable cycling. so new to the shotgun world, are there shells like revolver rounds? +p and +p+ etc? not sure if i should listen or ignore his advice. think the term he used was low recoiling rounds. is a number 8 shell the same as 00 buck?

nikos Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 dan thanks for the offer, let me see how my ati works out and if i still crave the surefire once i mount the ati fore end. may still want the rail option for a mounted light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikos Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 thanks for the feedback and thanks stranger for the chart. on the use of 00 buck to break in the m4, how many rounds should i pass through before switching up the shot size? any recommendations on lube? I have some hoppe's oil in a precision dripper, some slide glide that i use on my steel framed pistols and some cheap remington teflon spray.
