Unobtanium Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Well, I picked it up today. It is a 11707 with 2 barrel ports, matt black, pistol grip stock. I fired: 3" magnum buckshot, 2.75" slugs, and some 2.75" turkey loads through it. I also fired remington "Gun CLub Target Loads" listed as 1-1/8oz @ 1200fps. Pretty light stuff. I experienced ZERO non-user related malfunctions. The two malfunctions I experienced were: I did not allow the trigger to reset the first time I fired a fast string. My roommate was firing the target loads from the hip and limp-wristed the shotgun. I did the same and held it a bit firmer (still from the hip) with no issues, even floating a shell on the carrier for a total of 7 rounds fired as fast as I could. I am VERY pleased. The M4 was sighted in dead-on when I got it and produces clover-leaf groups at 15 yards with Winchester Power Point 1oz slugs (1700fps). Attatched is a link to a video of me shooting afformentioned load. Also is a picture of the M4. Soon it will have a Numrich mag tube and a SRM aluminum follower and 32" ss mag spring. As a small bonus I discovered that my M4 (as I assume all do...) has glow in the dark sights. No not tritium. Glow in the dark. Expose the white dots to a flashlight and they glow like those plastic stars kids put in their rooms. Same stuff I think. Cool. http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=40808753 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unobtanium Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 *update* I removed the stock mag tube (Green Epoxy or something, NOT LOCKTITE!) It was murder. I used a heatgun (($22 from wal-mart), a pair of boxers, my computer desk chair, and my knee and two hands. Other than a painful cut (not serious) and much struggle, it went well. I then used a 12ga brass brush to get all the crud off the threads on the reciever. I also took the weapon totally apart (minus the BCG, which I only field-stripped (as well as other minute parts that don't need taking apart, like the gas caps.) I am very impressed. The shotgun is well-made, simple, and should be rugged as heck. I now await my new mag-tube and SRM spring and follower. The stock spring measures 27" and some change btw. This is after me putting around 75 rounds through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
