Milspec Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I guess I’m behind the times. When the heck did the 5 position recoil tube appear? What M4 models does it come with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo45 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 does that work with the standard c-stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I think it’s designed to work with that collapsible Super Nova stock. Which is pretty ugly in my opinion. The notches on the 5 position look different than the standard M4’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw them and was like, “huh”? Edited February 9, 2020 by Milspec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Just checked FFT. Yep, they’re selling them and they have a better picture of the tube. Those notches definitely won’t fit the M4 collapsible stock. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangerDanger Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Imagine you went to the trouble of removing the receiver extension and expected your OEM one to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be beyond terrible. They might want to figure it out before they get calls from rabid customers. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) Todd from FFT emailed me this afternoon about this discussion. He tried installing a regular collapsible stock from the M4 on to it. The stock will lock into position fully open, but it won’t collapse at all. From what I can tell, Benelli Italy had made a prototype M4 which has a different collapsible stock, a railed handguard and a few other small upgrades. You can see the listing here: http://www.benellidefence.it/products/m4-14-door-breacher The stock appears on their listed Supernova as well. Benelli sells these tubes to dealers marked as being for the M4. Midwest Gun Works has listed these tubes for awhile also. Now, if you need a California compliant tube, buying one of these five position tubes would give you that effect with your existing M4 collapsible stock. You’d have the look but not the function of the collapsible stock. https://www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/prod/61171 Here is the stock that would fit that recoil tube.

jimbo45 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 yeah I don't find that stock to be aesthetically pleasing at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schutzhund Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 A friend of mine has this type of stock on his M3 from the factory. One positive thing about it in my opinion is you dont have to turn or cant the stock to adjust its LOP, simply press the button and slide it to the desired position + it has 5 positions instead of 3 like the "classic" ones. But he also likes my M4 stock more On the site StrangerDanger pointed out all the firearms have the "newer" 5 position stock http://www.benellidefence.it/products Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 The looks are meh to me too. I don’t like that sling point position for the QD socket. I talked to Todd again. He said it would not be a viable recoil tube for California compliance. I guess the regular M4 stock will slide up and down the tube, it just won’t lock into any of the positions.
