I just had a Benelli M4 come into my possession. I've been internet searching for several hours, and I believe the items in looking for have a good reputation. A lot of threads was reading were a few years old and was just wondering if anything has changed or newer items have come out to accomplish what I would like to do. Goals: achieve 922r compliance for increasing capacity, have the ability to attach a 1 and 2 point sling quickly, and add a flashlight for low light use.
It seems Freedom Fighter Tactical is top notch on many of their items. I'm looking at their full length titanium magazine tube, hand guards, and magazine follower. I've read that their hand guards had some quality control issues in the past but that has seemed to resolve.
1 and 2 point sling attachment are possible already with the shotgun, but I'm looking for the ability to quickly attach/detach say a Magpul MS style sling. The factory sling attachments aren't designed for direct attachment and I would preferably not have transitional sling pieces from the factory sling attachment to the Magpul sling as I see in a lot of pictures. I want them replaced.
Lastly, I'm looking for a solid flashlight mount. I initially was debating the GG&G flashlight/sling combo but envisioned a lot of hang up on the sling with it. It was only until recently I stumbled across Ava Tacticals flashlight mount. At $180-$200, I just want to make sure it's the best option out there. I did see some complaints about front sight glare due to its position. My other concern is limited field of view with a side mount versus under mount by that's probably petty since it's so far down the barrel.
Anything else I should be looking at? This will be my fun gun spare no expense within reason type shotgun as funds allow, so I want to do things right.
