Nitro_Kid Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 This may be a silly question, but I've been looking to get an M4, and I'm still confused on exactly how many shells it can hold. In its factory configuration does the magazine tube hold 4 or 5 shells? With a full length tube does the magazine tube hold 6 or 7 shells? Lastly, what is the magazine capacity of a "real" (i.e. USMC issue) M4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chromegsxr2002 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 With the factory mag tube it will hold 5 rounds, with an extention or full length tube, it will hold 7. The military M4 has a full length tube on it, so it will hold 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro_Kid Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 Argghhhh..... is that the gun or the magazine tube? My question is specifically about the MAGAZINE TUBE, NOT counting rounds in the chamber or the on the tray. So how many shells fit in the JUST the magazine?

M3X2 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Chrom answered your question. As sent from the factory the M4 holds five 2 3/4" shells in the magazine tube. Seven with the mag extension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnywitt Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 And 6 3"ers in the tube. Plus you can carrier load an extra shell. Your aware of the excellent tubes that socomguy sells right here on this forum, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
