JonP Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Assembling my brand new Benelli M4, following the instructions in the Owner's Manual. Step 7: "With the barrel extension resting on the bolt head, and the bolt head fitting into the recess formed into the barrel extension, slip the barrel into receiver. A metallic click will indicate the barrel is correctly seated" I don't hear any clicking sound, but the barrel is flush with the receiver (see pic). I can pull the barrel away again with a moderate tug. Does this sound/look correct? It seems the fore-end fastening cap is what really keeps the barrel tight to the receiver. The bolt cycles fine, everything appears to be in order, I'm just concerned because I do not hear a metallic "click" per the instructions. Hope it's right cause I can't wait to shoot this baby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTTom Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Yeah, never noticed a click when assembling either. You are fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electric7 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I think they are just talking the barrel mating with receiver. But, won't click if you are gentle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallChange Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I typically seat the barrel in with the bolt locked back. I havent had any issues but this shouldn't cause any problems should it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustM4s Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Yes, this looks exactly like mine - I've been moving removing and reinstalling the barrel a lot lately trying to uninstall my forend - I have never heard and audible "click".

JonP Posted October 16, 2020 Author Share Posted October 16, 2020 I took my M4 to the range and it worked fine. Really fun to shoot. Apparently the lack of a "click" per the instructions is not an issue. Thanks to all who replied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just assembled my M4 recently and had similar question only that when I did that step I did indeed hear the click! Though after learning the disassembly I reassembled the second time and no click! Mine cycles fine as well! I spoke with the King @StrangerDanger and he said all was good! I guess I was overthinking being I was so excited, ?
