adamlau Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 How much is the tritium sights? Around $75 to $100, including standard S&H, depending upon location shipped to. [How much is the] Briley choke? Around $32, including standard S&H, depending upon location shipped to. [W]hat are the benefits of [these] mods Briley Flush Black Oxide IC Choke Likely very little unless you are not satisfied with the patterns of the factory IC. However, the finish of the Briley choke is superior to that of the factory tubes. Benelli Full Length Magazine Spring To be used in conjunction with a full length magazine tube, the full length factory spring has greater spring tension than the standard magazine (five rounds) spring. This allows for more reliable cycling down to the last round. Callahan Red Aluminum Follower Increased durability over the factory plastic follower while retaining visual confirmation of an empty magazine.

Mr. Shotgun Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 ^^ My iM3200 Storm Case Below is my Ruger 10/22 and my Benelli M4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vagabundo94 Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 ^^ My iM3200 Storm Case Below is my Ruger 10/22 and my Benelli M4 - Excellent set-up. Two very dependable guns!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtCathy Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Looks like a survival kit. Reliable .22 for small game and the M4 for big game and two legged pest. That combo could handle any situation. Should be lots of fun at the range also. Plinking with .22's is my favorite activity that I never get tired of. I'm reading on these forums that some folks due pretty good with the M4 shooting skeet and simular sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Shotgun Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 - Excellent set-up. Two very dependable guns!! Thanks, I'm not done with these guns yet.....I plan on adding some mods here and there on the guns....I probably wont do much to the Ruger 10/22, and will mod the M4 more... Believe me I'll pick some good parts and mod it tastefully... I'm glad I got the case that I have, its waterproof and could float in the event I'm ever on a sinking ship....

Corsarych(C) Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 well good for you, we do not have ability to choose. only skeleton, not "classic" not pistol grip with non-folding stock (as on benelli web-site). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsarych(C) Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 case is perfect! even little rollers for heavy artillery;) again like m4 with this stock. as for me it is most suitable vs skeleton and retractable. if you do not mind that i'm posting in your thread, my "2 cents" or as we say "5 copeek" pair of my Benelli's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamlau Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Briley Flush Black Oxide IC Chokewhich model should I get? You will want to look at the Benelli specific chokes. Which choke, or chokes to choose is entirely up to you, your decision should be based upon factory choke pattern satisfaction and intended usages of the firearm. Mesa Tactical SureShell 6-Shot Carrier too bulky, I dont want to drill holes in my gun There is no need to tap into your M4 receiver in order to accomodate the SureShell as the sidesaddle utilizes that taps of the factory accessory mounting rail. Benelli Full Length Magazine Spring do I really need this? If you are comfortable with the tension of the factory five round magazine spring and have not experienced cycling issues related to the spring itself, then no. I tend to err on the side of caution and have followed the way of caution with a factory full length spring. Callahan Red Aluminum Follower where can I get this? MidwayUSA should be stocking them shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
