M4 Entry Complete-ish

Recommended Posts

First off, thank you to @StrangerDanger for your guides. I saved a bunch of them to review while waiting on my stamp to clear, and it made my work much easier, thanks bud. 👍 I still need an optic, but here she is so far. It was on my bucket list and I had a helluva bonus last year, and I found a good deal on her. Still working on the 5-shell thing but she is definitely fun to shoot.

It’s hard to get the scope of how sweet the entry is, plain, out of the box. I’d consider mine, minimalistic, as a whole. I had the scalarworks, T2, modlite n mount, sling, limb saver, shotgun cards,match saver, n second set of handguards, prior to form 4 approval. So I was committed to a path I wanted for overall build. I am very pleased with how it turned out, as I am not shotgun-centric in my profession and despite owning many niche, high dollar Gucci firearms, the entry is my favorite. Despite all this, when I finally picked it up, absent of seeing it for 6 months, I was very torn, not leaving it as is and immediately wanted a second to leave un-molested. Sooo badass and soooo much handier feeling than the full-size sibling. Congratulations. It looks great!

Nice setup.

I'd get the titanium magazine tube from carriercomp for it and a BlueForceGear padded QD sling.

I did, that's a DG titanium on there. I used your guide on removing it with my heatgun 😉 same with the limbsaver install. I took a Dremel to the surefire button to make it fit and hit it with blackener, but I left a little more material for my big thumb to purchase. It works great and doesn't hurt. @StrangerDanger hey what safety button do you run?

I'm a fan of the DMW one as well. The TTI one is okay, but I prefer the design of the DMW over it. The X-Rail one was way too big.

So I am able to reliably feed 5 shells now, I got a new CC spring and clipped it just enough to load 5 Federal Flite Controls. I ran 200 rounds through it so far to test, no hiccups. Also traded out the 18350 light body for an 18650 to kill the barrel shadow.

So I found a Geissele trigger and traded a kidney for it. Then I found an OEM aluminum trigger guard and grabbed that too. Figured I may as well put some Wolff trigger Springs in it while I had it torn down. You guys weren't lying about the trigger guards finish from the factory, I had to clean it up first.
