us3b Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) EDIT: Super Easy Install Tip In Post #8 Hi I recently purchased a used M4 and it didn't come with a trigger guard pin retaining spring. (I just shot it and Love It! first Benelli and I'm a huge fan now) I looked online and there are 2 different ones available. I checked the BenelliUSA site but they didn't have it for sale. Attached are pics of the springs, which one is the factory one? (I assume the first one) The first one sells for $12 each and the second one sells 5 for $8. I read that some people remove them but I couldn't find out why? Also, any tips on the installation of it or the best procedure would be great. Thanks for any info, I couldn't find any online for this spring Matt Edited February 20, 2016 by us3b pics and text Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) http://www.brownells.com/shotgun-parts/receiver-action-parts/receiver-action-hardware/springs/retaining-spring-sku301000495-23647-50291.aspx Here is the part you need. I would bet money they had a Tacstar shell carrier installed. Installing it goes, receiver, this spring, the spacer, the retaining ring and then the trigger pin. Getting the retaining ring out is my least favorite part of disassembling the entire M4. I'd rather torch out the receiver extension than deal with that POS. Expect some swearing and unanswered prayers. You pretty much have to work a pick behind the ring as you're trying to compress the snap ring. Good luck.

benelliwerkes Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Make sure you get the order of assembly correct and it's pretty straight forward. That is all I have to say about this.

us3b Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 Great, thanks guys! I appreciate the info. I'll get one ordered up and see how it goes. It didn't look too fun to install but we'll see when it gets here. Thanks again Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les_garten Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 The only reason to remove that part is for a refinish, is that correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Yes, or if you've chosen poorly and bought a Tacstar side saddle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

us3b Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 Hey guys I have a tip for a super easy installation of the trigger guard pin retaining spring with just using your fingers. The pics are not good but you should get the idea. 1. start with the tip of the spring seated to the bottom of the bore and the other end of it up in the snap ring groove (pic 1) 2. hook the groove on the tip of the pin under the spring catch (pic 2) 3. then simply just push the pin into the hole and it will seat the spring at the bottom of the bore (pic 3) Once the pin tip is under the spring catch it will want to automatically go in the hole so you just push it in there. Hope this helps! Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
