Birdog19 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Not posting this to question anyone's opinions or $anity regarding a folding stock -- just wondering about its utility and if that's the reason for the overwhelming demand. Is it because that's what the M4 is supposed to come with -- it makes the gun complete? Weight savings? Cool factor or do some shooters find adjusting the length-of-pull fits them better? Living in Rep of Cali I can't use a folding stock so I have not experience with it. My 11707 did come equiped with a 3 position receiver tube, so if we ever re-join the Union and the prices come down I may get one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nocturnalnature Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 For me it's all about the flexibility. The half way position is PERFECT for a red dot on a low quick release mount. The fully opened position is PERFECT for the factory sights. It basically gives the user the ability to utilize the gun in a way that fits their own personal shooting style. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdog02 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 I bought mine because I liked the option to change the length. I am a big guy and the longest setting and middle setting work great for me. It saves a little weight I am sure too. Lets all be honest to - a lot of the reason everyone gets it is because exactly like you said: it is how a Benelli M4 SHOULD look and it just looks cool. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButchP Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Still waiting on mine that I ordered a couple months ago from benelliparts.com on the pre-order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sukhoi_fan Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I've owned a number of the C-stocks over the years, no longer have one, it does nothing for me. The only benefit I can possibly see is shorter stock position when wearing body armor. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'zaster Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 When I first started researching the M4 a few years back, I honestly thought the collapsable stock looked odd. Last Feb, I came across a M1014 US flag model w fixed collapsable stock at Sportsmans warehouse. Once I started seeing the various forum member builds and comments about the middle position being right length of pull in combination w RMR and Scalerworks mount, etc etc, I've slowly been moving in that direction. Finally, I have accumulated the parts and I am all set up to switch out neutered recoil tube w the 3 position. A shout out to SD for his extensive photo essay tutorials and advice/postings from various forum members! I'll post pictures. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bambihunter Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I think you mean collapsible stock, not folding stock. I personally have a pair of M3T top folders that I really like. Personally, I like them better than the collapsible on the M4's though truthfully, the C-stock would be better for many situations. I like my folders as they fit in an otherwise unused portion of the safe. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bambihunter Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 LOL. I know you enough from these forums to know better than that. ? One part of the brain thinking one thing, the other part thinking another. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnett Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 I got it because it just looks hot! Having said that I love the adjustable LOP, can't imagine ever going to a fixed stock. Made sure the Super Nova Tactical I picked up had one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calviroman Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Two benefits to the C-Stock: 1. Looks sexy and is quintessential Benelli m4 2. Middle position length of pull and line of sight over bore is perfect for running an Aimpoint Micro or equivalent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StreetSweeper56 Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 I find benefit from the c-stocks ability to shorten the gun for storage, the M-4 is not a small gun and would not fit in the case I use without it. I am eagerly awaiting the rx-arms 6 position recoil tube. I can shoot mine presently from either the middle or third notch but neither feel quite right. I'm confident the extra positions will rectify that. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm confident the extra positions will rectify that. You know, I never thought of that, but you are right. All my rifles are SBR and my gauges are SBS. And I don't have a huge safe, just enough for my collection. I'd probably have to take my shelf out to fit a field stock. I'm with you on that 3-pos tube just not quite feeling right either, hoping the 6-pos will feel better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
