Finally got it MOSTLY put together. Been putting it together part by part for a few months now and wanted to show it off.

Benelli M4 11707
Carrier Comp Ti 7 round tube
FFT trigger and hammer
FFT oversized bolt knob
Daves Metal Works bolt release
OEM Collapsable stock
AVA flashlight mount

Would like to get a better flashlight sooner or later. Have an oversized safety that I will also put on eventually and plan on putting on a Micro red dot eventually.

How do you like the bolt release? I've been thinking about getting one but wanted to get some user feedback first.

Seems good so far. For what I paid it will do the job. I will let you know after I run it at the range next week.

Sounds like a great shotgun you're putting together.  Not that far off from what I did to mine.  4k+ rounds and haven't had the first issue.  Awesome weapons..

I never liked the PG stocks on these so I went old school.  Took forever to find a straight stock for this!

Man, it was tough to find one of these.

I was on a few 'notify my' lists and they all started emailing me maybe 6 months ago.  I can't remember where I got this one but you may have some luck on gunbroker or even google search (doubt google will be productive).  Just keep your eyes open is all I can say.

Thanks for the link on the fixed stock.  Gonna pick one up as well.  Where are you guys finding the factory C-stocks?  I refuse to pay $600 for a +/- $150 stock (LE price).  My M4 has sat bone stock for 2 years.  If carriercomp ever gets on their game and starts actually putting out enough product to fulfill the demand I'll buy one of their mag tubes some day too...

Here's mine, I'm still not to the point that I trust it enough to keep bedside, it lives in the safe.
I bought it in 2006, and took it to a five day shotgun class.  Fourth day during the night shoot it wouldn't cycle.  The reason is that the left piston broke into two pieces.

To make a long story short, it took moving a mountain to get a new piston from Benelli.  It's the four port barrel.

The parts are oversize charging handle, oversize safety, and Mesa Tactical picitinny rail.

They've gotten harder to find in recent years. This is mostly due to the sporting shotgun scare from a ATF a few years back. I got mine from Botach Tactical when LAPD sold off their stocks. I paid $230 back in 2010. The best way is to check GB, or the Benelli forums. There's also now plenty of aftermarket stocks. Years ago the M4 had very few accessories.

I'm just picking one up through their LE program.  Should be in within the next month.  Otherwise...this looks like a viable option although I'd normally avoid Promag.  Looks like a viable opportunity if the dealer I'm going through doesn't get a stock in...

They're definitely out there...they were $250 for a while, which I would have paid except I was between M4's.  Had one, sold it, then bought another. I'll use the promag and mod it if necessary to work properly before I pay $500 for a factory one (if the LE purchase doesn't work out...)

Question:

Can all your M4 guns be “ghost loaded” (without making any alteration to the bolt carrier)?

Yep......

Drop the bolt on a empty chamber.
Fill the magazine to its max capacity.
holding the gun firmly pull back the bolt just far enough that you can push a round under the bolt on to the plate.
then put another round in the chamber

The reason I asked the question is because several years ago Benelli altered the bolt carrier on the M2 and SBE II guns so they could not be “ghost loaded” (without making a simple little modification). I was curious if the M4 got the same treatment.

That is a 2-port M1014 barrel. M1014 shotgun. #555.

Aint it funny how that works.  I did the same thing.  Wasn't happy with having $2k tied up in a shotgun.  Sold it.  Wasn't happy with other options I tried and always compared them to the M4.  Bought another M4...

Thank you. Yes, I have a SF M300 mounted in a Thorntail. It's adaquate for my needs. I wish SF would go ahead and figure out a way to boost the M300 up to 500(+) lumens. On my 870, I have an X300U and absolutely love it. Thinking hard about switching it over to this weapon. I'll take a few pics from the other side tonight and upload them here for you.
