GTTom Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 That looks nicely done! Is this your version of a 5 position recoil tube? Is that aluminum or stainless? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doge Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 Yes tis a fully functional five position recoil tube prototype that has been in design development for many months. @StrangerDanger has previewed a ton of the pre-design work. You get: -14" length of pull, descending in 1/2" (12mm) increments -13.5" -13" (my most comfortable shoulder length) -12.5" -all the way compact 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallChange Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Thats a cool idea, I don't think it would be worth it to change from a regular 3-position tube, but could definitely be an interesting choice for someone with a non-collapsible tube looking to upgrade.

bambihunter Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I like it, I personally don't like the length between cuts as the factory is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'zaster Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I guess it will be appropriate to have a USA mark for 922r considerations...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doge Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 Benelli Armi seriously needs to change the notches and add more. It would probably take them like less than 20 minutes to do. It is so infuriating how unusable the middle position is.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pack Rat Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I could use something like that for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 This receiver extension won't count towards 922 compliance. This is definitely a slick project. Been following along for quite some time now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scout_21 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Well that's just awesome. Great to be able to adjust LOP a bit more depending on clothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doge Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 So played with this today and these pistons take a ton of force to take apart! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 The spring is quite stiff. The best way I found is to push the tool in with the jaws of a vise. You press it in just enough to relieve the tension from the pin which will allow it to be tapped out. Then once out, releasing the jaws allows the tool to be pushed out by the spring tension.

benelliwerkes Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I agree with SD; years ago I fabricated a hand tool that would compress the spring while securing the piston with protecting vise jaw inserts. A simple 3/8" diameter Delrin rod relieved to fit about the retaining pin compressed in a vise allows the retaining pin to be simply removed with a punch tool as all the spring tension has been withdrawn from the pin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doge Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 Good stuff Mr @benelliwerkes! I based that tool I made off of the official Benelli M4 tool: Had I known it was tough to get apart, I would have designed it another manner.

Birdog19 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 According to Freedom Fighter Tactical, these are the parts listed by the BATF for achieving 922(r) compliance when you decide to "mod" the gun to increase shell capacity. To learn more, go their website and select "Learn" or "Videos" from the top menu. Videos are long but informative.

Doge Posted November 4, 2020 Author Share Posted November 4, 2020 FFT isn't credible anymore. The face of the company, Todd, believes that the M1014 how it arrives to America is a California assault weapon because the aluminum stock can collapse when you want to strip the gun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious... Birddog19 is correct. Only specific groups outlined by the 922(r) laws count towards compliance. So if you add a US made charging handle, it doesn't matter. This is kind of a good thing since if we counted all 100+ parts of Benelli as foreign made, it would be extremely difficult to replace enough to make it to the parts count. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
