Turokwarrior122 Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 Do I need to get a new handguard in order to put a light on? I have a benelli m4 and I want to get a light on it (no idea which one) and a sling (also not sure where to look) Do I need to change the oem handguard to an m lok handguard first? And the pic rail on it? I see midwest industries has one with the pic rail attachment that comes with it. It’s out of stock on their site, but is that what I need? Thank you!

Turokwarrior122 Posted November 17 Author Share Posted November 17 Awesome, so these lights would work on the oem handle the gun came with right? Do most people recommend doing it this way or getting an m lok handle first? I would also get a sling if that matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simmonsrb Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 Yes they work with the oem hanguard. Personally I prefer using the oem hanguard over mlok. These light mounts have a qd socket to mount a sling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turokwarrior122 Posted November 17 Author Share Posted November 17 Great, thank you. I will very likely just go this route. That link you provided has options for a mount and light together, all done then. 34 minutes ago, simmonsrb said: Check out the MSP light mounts: https://www.mountsplus.com/Benelli-M4-Light-Mount.html 12 minutes ago, simmonsrb said: Yes they work with the oem hanguard.

simmonsrb Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 You're welcome. Here is my setup: I run the arisaka 300 series scout light as it is light weight and the m4 is already a fairly heavy gun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turokwarrior122 Posted November 17 Author Share Posted November 17 That looks great, my m4 is black with no pistol grip (not allowed in Illinois, unfortunately), I will probably copy your exact setup! Do you get a big shadow from the barrel with the light? Does it not even matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr2jeff Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 (edited) you will get a shadow with that setup but it beats no light, that mount is traditionally the best setup along with stippled oem handguards. here it is on my entry Edited November 17 by mr2jeff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turokwarrior122 Posted November 17 Author Share Posted November 17 Nice, so I’ll just buy the light & mount combo and I’m set, right? Is installation difficult? How do you control the light on your shotguns? I briefly read of a pressure switch, not sure what that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
