AR-BALLISTIC Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Hi all , I just installed a 2 shot FACTORY Benelli extension on my M4 model 11703 today. It seems that I can fit 7 in the tube (the 7th is a snug fit) and 1 in the chamber. I thought I could only put 6 in the tube and 1 in the chamber. Is this normal? Whats up with that?? Let me know. CHEERS , Michael [ 01-23-2006, 04:42 PM: Message edited by: AR-BALLISTIC ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1014 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 make sure you got rid of the mag spring retainer so that the mag spring rests on the mag cap ,,cheeeers [ 01-23-2006, 04:54 PM: Message edited by: M1014 ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AR-BALLISTIC Posted January 23, 2006 Author Share Posted January 23, 2006 OK , done. I took my trusty snap ring pliers and removed the Mag. spring seal ring( thats what the book calls it) The 7th round still fits snug , but if you think that seal ring is good for nothing then I will leave it out. Thanks for being around to answer questions.I am proud to be an M4 owner , I really dig BENELLIs. Cheers bro , Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONGO Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Well just a cool side note my M4 will hold seven in the tube, one in the chamber, and one on the shell lifter for a total of 9... All you need to do is load the tube, drop one in the chamber, and drop one on the lifter holding it down as you close the bolt... I heard about it on AR-15.com and it works.. I've not fired it from this position but it performs fine with orange training rounds.. just fyi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisb1 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 The Benelli M4 Factory Magazine Spec: Magazine Capacity: Six 3" shells seven 23/4", plus one chambered round can be unloaded without cycling through the action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisb1 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 The key to remember when loading 7 2 3/4inch shells is the last shell should feed as smoothly as the first. For a M4 11707. If the last round does not feed as easily as the first, then you have not correctly installed the 2 shot magazine extension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
