deButschi Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Hi! My M4 came with a modified choke tube only. The choke is black all over. Now I want to buy Cyl., IC and full chokes. But all the Benelli chokes I can find have the usual mirror finish. So is there a difference in Benelli chokes for sporting guns and the Benelli chokes for the M4 besides the color/choating? Where can I get the real M4 chokes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOGWILD Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 http://www.benelliusa.com/firearms/partsAccessoriesChokes.tpl The chokes here seem black to me? Extended Standard and Standard. see list at bottom of this link for application! If you are looking fro the standard issue that they used to come with ya might wanta call CS and ask them, but Benelli Italia were the ones putting and not putting tubes in the boxes prior to shipping to US i think? any authorized dealer can order the standard factory chokes for about 25$ ea if they do not have them in stock, some store here are stocking different models!

DocGP Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Yea, don't waste your time with Customer Service over the choke tubes. I purchased the Ultralight that was advertised as having 5 choke tubes, and when I saw only 3, Gander Mountain said I had to call CS. CS basically told me to stick it in my ear.

HOGWILD Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 The 07 Catalog says 3 tubes for Ultralight and you look on the webpage and it says 5? M4's used to ship w 3 but they changed it to 1? If your Ultralight has a Year proof code "CB"=2007 ya supposed to get 3 chokes,if it was "CA"=2006 ya should get 5? sounds like ya got a 2007?

DocGP Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Well, it is a '07, but the advertising was at GM. It was printed on the display at the store. My fault for not investigating further, and I am not at all disappointed in the gun. Already picked up a full-choke for geese. Just a minor irritation more than anything, and I kind of got frustrated with CS for the tone, acted like it was my fault. Oh well, cool gun anyhow!!

HOGWILD Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 So Gander did the false advertisment! Store manager should have gotten an earfull before ya left the store! LOL!! Big purchases such as a Benelli should come with a full set anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgroves Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Mine came with Mod only too. I contacted CS, and some irritable female basically told me to shove it. Being a loser working at a help desk can make you pissy. (voice of experience) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinceyboy Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 A 1/2 choke is all you need.If you want more spread, then cut the barrel down with a drop saw.Works well on possums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocGP Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Sorry Vinceboy, You can work on YOUR 1400 dollar gun with a drop saw. I will get another choke tube. YMMV however, Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOGWILD Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Doc he only paid 500 NZD=350.00 US $ so cut away and look out possums!!good condition used SBE 1 around 8 Bills maybe a bit more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commando Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 If your looking for the cyl and improve cyl I have the part numbers. One of the stock numbers for the cyl has a "P" at the end. I was told they come in the chrome finish and if you get the one with the P listed that means it is a packaged item and it will come in black. Cyl= 80065P IC= 80058P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnywitt Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Cyl., SKEET, IC and maybe a MOD. for fifty yard 00 buck buffered full power loads. No penetration on the reduced recoil loads. Those are for Female Officers shooting pumps lol. Hard to beat a SKEET constriction in a combat shotgun for buck and slugs IMO- try it and see for yourself. Briley in houston makes excellent chokes in black. If the choke is not an extended choke the black ain't really gonna matter, unless it just bothers you.

Alaska_Bear Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 My M4 came with just a modified choke. I sent one email to Benelli and immediately received a reply that explained this was a problem they were aware of with some of the M4s that had been shipped. Both a cylinder and an improved choke (black) showed up in my mailbox (free of charge) a week later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagon Master Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I ordered a cyl choke from Brownells on the web. It was black and a Benelli Factory part. Stock Number #301-000-232 Choke Tube 2G Flush Cylinder $34.30 Made a big difference in shooting clays. They said it is a good all around choke for slugs, steel shot, lead shot etc. Hope that helps.

[email protected] Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 New on the web and would like to know not only what I should see in a new purchase(chokes etc) but what is the best to shoot as per spread and if 2.75 or 3.0 is better in performance? Have a m4 and would like to treat it right !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
