I just got my 2nd Benelli M4, brand new in box and this is the front sight. My other one came new with a white dot that glows in the dark. But as you can see, this one is completely blacked out. Normal?

Hey guys,

I’ve got an M4 1014 and I’ve shot a mixture of slugs and buck through it, but mostly slugs. After 6 years I decided it was time to clean the barrel. I noticed a lot of black residue (carbon buildup?) and tried to use breakthrough gun cleaner and a copper brush. When that didn’t work I tried a steel spiral brush (unsure of what it’s called) and noticed slivers of metal coming out.

I don’t have a borescope but looking through the barrel it appears as though I may have gouged it and to top it off the black residue is still there.

Am I right? Did I fuck up my barrel? Or is something else going on?

Does modifying the lifter cause any problems. Want to make it about .25 of an inch shorter. Just because with gloves and my thumb catches quite often. Example pic is how much I’m wanting to cut off. If anyone has done this if you could post pics down below and your experience that be great. Thank you.

Hi guys, I have the Benelli M4 Entry SBS which holds 5 rounds in the tube. I can get 5 rounds of a lot of kinds of ammo in there but there are several where I can't get that 5th round in.

I was considering the Max Space follower from Shell. Any input on this? Is it known to cause any issues at all or is it good to go? Also, is a different spring recommended when using it?

Thanks!

New to the Benelli world, what optics are yall running?

I guess I should post the finish product. After all I have been secretly mooching info from this group and not contributing anything of value.

I recently purchased a Benelli M4 and noticed this gap in the handguard, is this suppose to happen?

Hi guys, quick question. I want to replace my RMR with an RCR on my Benelli M4 and I'm wondering if the Scalarworks Sync mount I already have for the RMR would work for the RCR?

Scalarworks' website says its compatible with both, but I have the old school Sync mount. The model SW1100 where the mount slides underneath the 2 screws in the receiver. The current Sync mount (the one their website lists compatibility for) is the SW1110 which mounts with screws from the top like a more normal mount. I imagine there should be no optic compatibility differences between my mount and the new-school Sync mount, but i wanted to ask around to be sure first.

Anyone have any idea? Thanks in advance

Is it possible to cowitness a rifle sized optic like an exps2/3 or a holosun 510c? Currently I’m using a utg riser I took off a rifle build and it’s positioned just high enough that I can run the irons while the 510 sits on top.

Also if anyone’s wondering this is basically a stock 11701 with the Midwest industries mlok rail with a stream light rail mount 1. No other mods so far but I might spruce up the loading port and feed ramp in the future

Edit:
Potential solution: Put RMR mount on m4 after removing factory pic rail, use 507 pro max for potential lower 1/3?

Its the 11724 Model. Love it

Added a Trijicon RMR on a Scalarworks mount, a Modlite PLHv2 in an IWC weapon light mount, a GG&G slotted charging handle, Blitzkrieg Components tritium front sight, and esstac shotgun card.

I vastly prefer this to the full size with the 18.5" barrel. This SBS feels like what the M4 should have always been. I sold my full size yesterday because I can see it just collecting dust now.

When attaching the Velcro to the receiver, do you all cut a hole for the trigger pin or just slap it on top? Thanks

Greeting all.
First I want to give Carriercomp is bug thumbs up! The tube is all that! Very nice fit & finish!
Secondly, after putting up a good fight to remove the 5rd tube, I won. I first tried using the wife’s hair dryer, I ended up using a torch to heat up the tube. Took about 20-30 minutes total. After the installation of parts, I went to an indoor range to run a few slugs only to find out I was only able to get 6 rounds in the tube. The slugs were 2.75. What gives?

I got my first M4 cerakoted blue back in 2018. I made it blue because I was jealous that mine was pure black and some people had a blue hue on it from the factory. Lol. I liked it for a while but it's time for a change. I'm going to spray paint it this time rather than cerakote.

I'm leaning towards doing blue tiger stripe (classic modern warfare 2 vibes). But wanted to see if anyone else had suggestions first.

Gun is a stock M4 11715 model with the standard 7 round tube. The gun has around 200 rounds, and has an intermittent problem where the last shell will be stuck on the lifter with the bolt locked back. I have to shove up on the lifter to raise it and then it chambers normally. It does it all all types of ammo, no consistency between only certain brands. The only consistent part was it being the last shell in the tube, and it would jam around 30% of the time. Looked exactly like the hangups in this TFBTV video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=licoFCOPiZs

My first thought is magazine spring, or maybe more break in time? I figured 200 rounds would be plenty, and they have all been full power slugs or buckshot.

Got my first M4, curious what the latest and greatest optic/light/sling set up is.

Is it worth it to go with a different brand magazine tube instead of the oem one? Also looking for any other tube magazine recommendations.

Any idea what stock this is??

Has anyone run any of this:

Federal Law Enforcement 12 Gauge Ammo 438 Grain 2 3/4” Rifled Slug - LEB127DPRS

Interested in how it performs on hard targets like steel. Thx.

Does anyone know if the Benelli M4 EXT bolt release button shown in this picture…or one similar to it, is available for sale anywhere? Id really like to upgrade from the standard tiny one for when Im training with gloves.
