sonyman74 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I know some folks don't like the Strike Industries Benelli M4 Hayl Rail due to the set screws but I'm loving it so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

808M4 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Great, but that gold trigger... Is that a Briley trigger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonyman74 Posted November 2, 2019 Author Share Posted November 2, 2019 Yes it is. I didn’t really like the gold color but it shoots amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't mind, would you start a new thread on it, or just add a little input here on what you like about it and how it's different from the factory trigger? I have the Taran Tactical set up in mine and I like it, but i'm always looking for better upgrades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen this happen? I ask because I have an 870 with the same setup and thousands of rounds through it. The 870 doesn’t absorb some of the recoil like semi autos do. I also have a .50 cal bolt gun with a similar mount and has also not had any issues. I haven’t used mine that much but there are plenty out there fielded in combat with quite a few rounds through them, and no mount failures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, for a gun that has been in the use of the Marines for many years before such smaller optics like the MRO and XPS2 or XPS3 they used a lot of the EoTech 512's. My first M4 had a 512 with several thousand rounds with no problem. The Vortex is only 2 oz more in weight. The way I see it, if it can't handle it, I DON'T NEED IT.

If the proven combat shot gun can't handle the 11.5 oz optic then it's not worth having. Until the day that it fails it will still be my go to shotty!!!

sonyman74 Posted November 3, 2019 Author Share Posted November 3, 2019 And I have been toying around the idea of changing it out with a MRO. Put one on my SBE II to see how I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sukhoi_fan Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 (edited) Got any examples of a Benelli M4 aluminum receiver failing where the rail is mounted? Photos or it didn't happen. Funny how no one on this strictly Benelli oriented forum has ever reported such a thing happening to a Benelli shotgun.

Nobody on earth has a video / picture of a bear dying of old age in the forest either......but such absurd logic, that never happens either!

Sukhoi_fan Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Oh, and another thing - a shotgun, ANY shotgun, should only ever be considered as a secondary support weapon and NEVER a primary weapon, a primary weapon being a suitable MBR. Attempting to use a shotty as a primary weapon is a huge mistake and puts one at a disadvantage IMO. I view a shotty in the same role as a sidearm, i.e. something to confidently allow me to get to my MBR or AR platform pistol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said above : "Funny how no one on this strictly Benelli oriented forum has ever reported" ohh snap, you spoke too soon, ...... seems your 100% WRONG took me 5 seconds to find an example ON THIS FORUM!!!!!!!! let me quote from the below:::: My Picatinny rail flew off the gun during shooting (I had an Aimpoint on the rail)! Worse, several of the receiver screw holes are stripped. The rangemaster (who is also a gun smith) said this is not at all surprising considering the recoil of the shotgun. He sees it fairly often. huge mass aimpoint he had on it ! Edited November 3, 2019 by kenw111 edit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sukhoi_fan Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Interestingly the poster in that thread failed to mention which model Aimpoint "flew off." Was it a Micro, M4Comp, PRO, M3Comp, etc.? I'm thinking that just to be safe NO ONE should mount ANY optic to the Benelli rail. /s And thank you for reinforcing my notion that some people are never wrong.

Ahem,...Im a conceal carry instructor, i own my own shooting range, worked in 3 gun shops, 2 as a gunsmith. let me lay down some PHYSICS 1. gun recoils backwards 2. giant MASS / WEIGHT optic (the wrong kind of huuuuge optics<<<) sits on top and RESISTS MOVEMENT 3. xxxx 1000s (very few) of shots fired and the rail SHEERS OFF /FALLS OFF cause either 1. the screws SHEER OFF.......2. the THREADS GET STRIPPED and the rail FALLS off. Benelli will flat out tell you to never mount Elephantine optics on any of their shotguns. But if people wanna learn the hard way, mmmmkay. Ive seen it happen twice, once was Eotech, the other an offbrand junk-box of equal size (i forget the chinese mfg.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoooooops, heres yet ANOTHER guy who thought it a hot idea to mount a nasty big MASS to his M4 Benelli, ...the rail FLEW OFF this time was a side-saddle attached to the top PIC RAIL and its screws.
