So bring back this topic again.  I had a chance to visit the Briley booth and hold one of their M4 shotguns.  Then I remembered about the loading port I did with them.

What I found out was they did have a beveled edge while the one they did for me did not have one.  While taking the rep there, he told me all their shotguns had beveled edges and not sure why mine didn't have one.  I'm going to write to their customer service to find out what is going on.

I spoke to Briley since December of last year. They started production of their m4 MLOK handguard early this year. Ive been in contact with them and as of last week, they sent their first batch to get anodized. I dropped off my m4, I work right down the road from them, to get the loading port opened, switch to an A and S enhanced  trigger guard, extended safety, and get this MLOK handguard in black.

About the shell latch - I contacted Benelli directly if M2 and M4 uses the same part and got this for an answer - No, that will not interchange with the M4.

They sure look the same though.

Benelli will tell you the same regarding the 20g vs 12g shell latch for the M2. My guess is the only way to find out is to experiment. The spring and pin locations should be the same so it may be worth a try.

I'd give it a try first to see how it performs for you. Remember that this is designed for rolling the weapon ejection port up, and speed feeding shells in place. Some are doing doubles with this method with their thumb on the back of the primer side and pressing them in. They gave you a lot of clearance so that the cup of your hand can seat deeper into the receiver. How much is removed from the magazine tube area isn't that big of a deal. I've seen some where they've cut into the magazine tube itself.

 

I would have preferred that they broke some of the corners to avoid sharp edges, but they probably just do these in a mill with no plan of refinishing the receiver.

I would have preferred that they open the mouth of the loading port more and broken those edges better. When you're moving fast, a 90 degree angle can cut you open easily. On the ones I've done, I spent a lot of time blending the edges so that there were zero sharp corners anywhere inside the loading area.

This is work of art. It’s pity I’m not in US and can’t send mine for this to be done.
