Diesel79 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I just purchased a M4 field stock from MGW and they state I also needed a new swivel plate as well. Do I need to remove all of the parts from the inside of existing PG stock and reinstall in the field stock, or does this sling plate just slide into the slot and you twist the stock on the receiver? Looks like several washers, bolt, nut etc inside the stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evolution Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) Are you saying that your new field stock came with all the guts disassembled from the stock? I have never seen a Benelli OEM stock that did not come from the factory fully assembled with butt pad and sling plate already installed. All you should have to do is remove the trigger group from the receiver then unscrew the existing stock and screw on the replacement stock to the extension. Just like that.

It hasn’t arrived yet so don’t know for sure what’s coming. It is an OEM Benelli field stock. On the MGW website I ordered from, it says you need the purchase the sling plate as well so I was confused. All the videos I’ve watched are simple twist off twist in install. I guess I’ll just have to wait and see what shows up. https://www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/prod/81041 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCswamp13 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I'd be a little surprised if it didn't come with all the hardware. I can't remember if mine came with the sling plate itself, but it definitely came with the rest. Hope these vids help show you what's inside the field stock. 20240117_212344.mp4 20240117_212243.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

03svt Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I ordered a field stock from MGW a few years ago and remember being confused also about that note on their description. The stock did come complete of course. I returned it because it looked used somehow, and reordered another from benelli parts.net. Good luck with your order I love the field stock on my gun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diesel79 Posted January 22 Author Share Posted January 22 (edited) Just delivered. It came fully assembled and the extra sling plate is not needed. MGW should really update their site. I like this stock a lot more. I don’t think my Vortex razor red dot is gonna work anymore, at least not on this factory mount. Seems to sit too high. I could make it work on the PG stock but not sure on this one. Need to get outside and do some shooting.

03svt Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Taking that stock apart and putting a QD plate on is a fun little project. I also installed a limbsaver recoil pad and stippled the grip. Just sayin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to get the Green laser and light version of it but would like to get someone's experience who has had it on their M4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the IWC amount with their picatinny section it puts the activation pad in the perfect spot. It’s a rubber pad button vs a rocker switch. The light works great at 12 o’clock on an AR too It’s definitely a spill type of light vs throw so great for HD set up.

Do they both accommodate a 1" sling? Or is one for a 1" and the other will fit a 1-1/4" sling? That is one reason why I changed both of mine to the NOVESKE QD plate.....the OEM plate limits you to using a 1" sling. Or at least that used to be how they came from the factory.

MGW states it’s needed for the install and it is to be purchased separately. https://www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/prod/81041 The stock arrives in a Benelli box fully assembled and there is another separate part in the shipping box that you purchase that is not needed.

If you could get it mounted to a scalarworks sync, I think it would solve the height problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After shouldering it many many times, I think it will be doable. I just have to have my head in a slightly more upright position. Was thinking about this ADM mount but I don’t think it will be any lower than the factory one. https://www.admmfg.com/cvrd-low-mount I might get a Scalarworks set up eventually. I just bought a couple new MOS Glocks and 2 Acro P2’s with FCD mounting plates so my wallet is still smoldering.
