SolidBuilt Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Hello, If you have any old parts that you don't need, may I buy them? I have a Benelli m4 clone, and I want to check compatibility for some of the parts before I purchase them online. I'm primarily interested in the pistons, gas plug and trigger housing/ trigger parts. I'll pay for shipping and whatever cost you think is fair. The parts don't need to be functional- I just want to see how they fit and if they're 100% compatible. I stripped down a benelli at the gun shop, and the pistons/ plugs seem slightly bigger. In retrospect, I wish I had just saved up for a Benelli. The salesperson for my M4 clone said it was basically identical. Well, he was wrong. After stripping the M4, there are several differences I noticed in quality and fit n finish. My clone shoots ok, some days better than others... but I need something more reliable for a self defense shotgun. I've spent countless hours cleaning, upgrading and adjusting this clone to get it to fire consistently without jamming... very frustrating. I'm considering replacing a few more parts since I'm already so deep in to it... If interested, please PM me or email to [email protected] Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolidBuilt Posted May 11, 2022 Author Share Posted May 11, 2022 I've replaced the recoil spring and added a stronger magazine tube to help with feeding/ jam issues. One other problem is the magazine cap retaining shoulder pin comes out every time I clean/ disassemble the gun. Real M4's have a shoulder pin inserted from behind with a true shoulder to keep it in. When I took apart the pistons, the O-rings were disintegrated.... not even 100 rounds. I bought replacements online. The gun just seems cheap. It functions, but may jam every 10-15 rounds, then I'll need to clear it... not good for a self defense shotgun... I need more reliability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RxArms Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 That clone is one ugly attempt. In Canada they are actually pretty decent looking. I still wouldn’t buy one, but still… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bambihunter Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Just a suggestion but you might want to take your email address off the post. Spammers run 'web crawlers" which checks pages for email addresses. Or, short of that, obscure it a bit with spaces, etc. Sorry, I guess it is just the IT Systems Admin in me. ?
