Teufel-hunden Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Brugger & Thomet Benelli M4 Super 90 and Remington 870 Rail Mount: This is least obtrusive rail mount I could find. It has two picatinny mounts located opposite one another. Let's see..... light, laser- what else are you going to hang off the front of a shotgun? For the life of me I can not figure out why you would want a monstrosity like the Surefire M80. What are trying to hang on your gun? A fold out picnic table?! And that piece and others would kill the sweet lines and handling of the M4. Quote
Teufel-hunden Posted January 19, 2008 Author Posted January 19, 2008 Surefire M600a LED 100 lumen scout light: I debated on this one for a bit- some reviewers said they did not think the range is adequate. I have not mounted the light yet but walking around the house playing with it I think it will do just fine. What sold me was the LED bulb, with it's built in durability and longer run time on a set of batteries, and of course the surefire quality. Quote
Teufel-hunden Posted January 19, 2008 Author Posted January 19, 2008 Surefire SR plug-in dual switch with rail: This item has a momentary on strip AND a constant on/off button. My thinking is there might be a situation where having the light stay on would be a handy feature to have, such as clearing a weak side corner or using my weak hand to move a limb out of the way while conducting ops in the brush.

Teufel-hunden Posted January 19, 2008 Author Posted January 19, 2008 GG&G Benelli Tactical Charging Handle: I think everyone knows the value of that one. Quote
Teufel-hunden Posted January 19, 2008 Author Posted January 19, 2008 GG&G oversize bolt release pad: I read a couple of posts from operators that had trouble finding the somewhat small factory release button during the fog of war. This little jewel should alleviate that issue but it will be the trickiest part to install- unless the oversize safety release button is harder than I am estimating. Quote
Teufel-hunden Posted January 19, 2008 Author Posted January 19, 2008 Dave's Metal Works Oversized Safety Benelli Semi-Automatic Shotgun 12 Gauge Steel Matte: When Yogi and Boo Boo come running in this summer to steal my picnic lunch, I don't want to be fumbling with the safety button. Not sure this going to fit though. Quote
Teufel-hunden Posted January 19, 2008 Author Posted January 19, 2008 Mesa Tactical 6-shot SureShell Carrier and Rail (M4): Extra easy access bullets- 'nuff said. Push-button Sling Swivel (M4/M1014): The gun should ride a little better/be quicker to mount when slung using this closer to the receiver attachment point. Quote
Teufel-hunden Posted January 19, 2008 Author Posted January 19, 2008 TecLoader Shotgun Speedloader Kit Benelli M1, M3, M4, M1014 12 Gauge Polymer Black: mmmmmmm......... more quick loading ammo, ya can never have too many bullets! Blue Force Gear Vickers Combat Application Sling: You don't expect me to walk around carrying this thing at port arms do ya?! Quote
Teufel-hunden Posted January 19, 2008 Author Posted January 19, 2008 Meprolight Sight Benelli M4 Ghost Ring: For night ops, a must have- unless you first nuke 'em till they glow and THEN shoot them in the dark. SOCOMguy Full Length Mag Tube: It's all about capacity. Quote
Teufel-hunden Posted January 19, 2008 Author Posted January 19, 2008 Not sure which hard case I am going to get though. I am looking at Pelican and a couple of the nicer aluminum models. Any thoughts on that? Semper Fi Quote
HOGWILD Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 seems you are having fun? the new gun control law that recently passed i think might take all your guns!! Just kidding!! great resource!! Quote
MENeelz Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 I like my Surefire M80 handguard. With the rubber grip inserts they give you that nest within the rails, it's very comfortable and looks great. It's also one piece instead of 2. Besides, it looks very tactical and weapon like. All the better to give Sarah Brady and Monica Lewinsky's ex boyfriend's wife a bad case of the wet dog shivers.

pamat Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Teufel, Where/how do you plan on mounting the surefire rail switch? Quote

All the better to give Sarah Brady and Monica Lewinsky's ex boyfriend's wife a bad case of the wet dog shivers. Good enough- if it works for you, that's all that matters. My point is how much stuff do you need to hang on a home defense gun? Or a full-on tactical model for that matter? I think the M80 is overkill (and others) as far as capacity. I am talking from first hand, real world experience. (Maybe my first mistake) I know all too well how evil is the path of add a bit here, add a bit there. It adds up pretty dang quick when you have to carry a "tricked out" weapon 20 miles using nothing but leather cadilacs. My worst experience was carrying a MK19 (20mm grenade machine gun) receiver/barrel group for about 4 miles on a hump. (80 lbs of pure awkward weight) I could be wrong though....... As far as Billary and the Brady bunch...... they are mentally ill and should be pitied and placed in an institution for the proper treatment. Quote
Teufel-hunden Posted January 20, 2008 Author Posted January 20, 2008 Teufel, Where/how do you plan on mounting the surefire rail switch? I figured someone would get around to asking that question..... I will have to wait until I actually get the switch and look at it up close, but I am planning on cutting off the lower picatinny rail grabbing ledges on the bottom. I am hoping this will give me a some what flat surface on the back of the switch to use hook and loop (velcro) tape to mount it on the forward part of the hand grip. Using velcro I will be able to remove it for disasembly/ cleaning, etc. This will probably be on the right side of the gun as seen from the butt. Quote
MENeelz Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 What makes owning AR-15s, shotguns like the Benelli M4, and other military style firearms more fun is that you can customize them and personalize them with whatever aftermarket add ons suit your fancy. I collect guns and have a bunch of them in different states of customization. Pimp my rifles, pimp my shotguns, pimp my pistols, pimp my ride. I pimp stuff! Quote
Teufel-hunden Posted January 20, 2008 Author Posted January 20, 2008 Found my case: Bullet proof, water proof, and you just can't beat their pluck and fit foam- Quote
Teufel-hunden Posted January 20, 2008 Author Posted January 20, 2008 OtterBox 1000: This will be nestled inside of the Pelican 1700 and will be used to store the choke tube set. OtterBox 3500: Again this will be inside the main case and will be used for cleaning gear.
