regularguy Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 After 6 months of waiting my new mag tube for my m4 showed up from Carriercomp, I was excited and prepaired to do the work after 6 months of reading about the task and watching videos I was ready to go. I got my new heat gun and all of the tools I might need and imagine my surprise when the factory mag tube screwed off without any heat. It would seem that there was never any thread locker applied at the factory, the threads were clean and I simply threaded the new mag tube right in. Here I was ready and set for a big battle and nothing. Works great though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unobtanium Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 That is great news in a way, but it also says that QA/QC at Benelli fell down on the job in a big way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12508 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 How old/new is your M4? S/n range? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regularguy Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 I thought about the QC on that gun as well and was concerned that maybe it was made on a Friday and all of that stuff, but the gun has been 100% for me and I have shot it a fair amount and with alot (mostly) light loads. The serial number is y060092c I bought it last fall, but it could have been sitting around for a while who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vertigofirearms Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 new or used? whichever one you answer will give us the definite answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regularguy Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 The gun was brand new from the gun shop when I bought it, just a slip up at the factory I suppose, good for me as long as that was the only slip up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The recoil spring tube needs adhesive too, and if benelli can miss the mag, they can miss that. This was my concern about qa/qc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 The recoil tube needs adhesive too OP, you need to do a U/V light inspection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regularguy Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 I suppose that I need to get this gun to a gun shop and have it checked over, I'm worried now and don't want it coming apart if I need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just try half heartedly to take the recoil tube off. It's likely just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
