46Alpha Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I'm looking to add something with a bit more surface area to the bolt release. The most common one brought up is the GG&G. Is there any difference in the one made for the m1/m2/m3 (ggg 1030) and the m4 specific one (ggg 1030 m4)? I've read they are the same part. Also are there any other options out there I should be looking at? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milspec Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Funny you ask this about the GG&G. I was wondering the same thing last week so I inquired. A rep from GG&G told me they were the same. I don't know what they have a separate Manf#. I inquired because I noticed GG&G was out of the M4 button and the "other one" on their site. Online, other retailers stock it but I couldn't find any that had the ggg 1030 m4 part number. The ggg 1030 is GTG. The guy at GG&G said they have been waiting for OEM Benelli shell latches to make more. They say they have been delayed 45-70 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aznwhip Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) GG&G is a good option. FFT, TTI, and Briley also have options. Agency has one, but not for individual sale (have to do the full upgrade package to get it). If you want something easier to install, Dave's Metal Works has the Speed Bar. I have the Briley one only because I was having them do my trigger group so they were willing to do the install as well for free. Really though... don't overthink it. It's simply more surface area so as long as it doesn't protrude to the point where it might catch and suits your own individual aesthetics.. just get what you want.

RJHUB Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I used the one that is round and dime size like off my sons Franchi affinity. I didn't wanted one a little bigger that oem. Not huge. It works really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scardzombie Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Is there any quality difference between the gg&g and the fft bolt release? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 The TTI one is a pain in the ass and hangs out like a sore thumb. You have to drill and tap your existing button which can be a chore. Especially trying to keep everything perpendicular on the drill press to make the hole straight. Their button isn’t relieved on the back side at all so it hangs away from the existing button. The only thing that keeps the pad a certain direction is the screw tension. There is no key slot like on the GG&G pad to prevent it from being a fidget spinner. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJHUB Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Do not drill thru on the shell latch when drill and taping. It will weaken. Ask me how I know. It is aggravating to do. Had a friend in the machine shop do it for me the second time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Agreed. All the way thru is bad. Drill to the depth of the screw length plus a small margin for the tap. Unless you have a bottoming tap. Most taps have a transition that needs to be accounted for and aren’t quite full threads to bite on.

46Alpha Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 Thanks for all the info. Ended up finding the GG&G in stock and for a solid price so I grabbed one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone tried the GGG1030 (the one without the M4) latch on their M4/M1014 yet? I’m just got my M1014 and is looking for a GGG bolt and latch. Seems to be unobtainium atm tho :(( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
