SolidBuilt Posted May 11, 2022 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
SolidBuilt Posted May 11, 2022 Author 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

RxArms Posted May 16, 2022 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
bambihunter Posted May 18, 2022 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. ? Quote
