M2 or M4 for three gun

[Sniper]

What are the pros and cons of running an M4 vs. an M2 in three gun?

[Vertigofirearms]

Pros for the M4 in this application is very limited...So I will jump to the Cons

 

-Barrel Options: the M2 not only has vent-rib, rifle-sight, and ghost ring sights; but it also is available with a fully rifled barrel. Also in various lengths and camos.

 

-Weight: plain M2 is lighter than the M4 (unless you go with that stupid X-rail thingy)

-Comfortech: M2 has it, and it makes a difference along with the ergonomics. But personal taste will vary:p

 

-Price

I'd go with the M2 for gun games. Lighter is faster.

One more M2 vote. For reasons noted above with weight being my first consideration, versatility next.

Thanks all I have an M4 for years now it runs nice in combat shotgun class and drills but not fast enough for competition. Just wanted to see what you guys thought..

You should get both so that you can try them out and then decide!

 

What?

 

I'm an enabler! What can I say.

Don't forget about the M3 S90. It is convertible and w/an OEM mag extension you can easily stack 7+1. It is fairly light too.

I personaly think benelli makes near perfect Shotguns.

 

But like anything you need to pick the best tool for the job.

 

If all you have is an M4 then run it for your 3gun matches.

 

If you find the magazine capacity or sights are slowing you down then do what I did.

 

Buy a 21" M2 and build a M2 3gun edition clone. You can do it for around $1600.00

 

My M4 is for training, and HD.

 

My M2 is for sport.

 

The M4 is a beast, with less felt recoil (gas system) but the M2 is better for the matches.

 

Enjoy

I learned how to do weak handed loading on my M4. My speed doubled when I built my M2 3g clone with the c-rumed lifter and opened loading port.

 

and as we all know shotgun reloads are the name of the game in 3gun
