you need a one position tube, which we make and offer. the tube dictates how much or how little a stock adjusts. so there is no one position stock. there is no three or six position stock. the stock is the stock. there is a one position tube. and a three and a six position tube.
Has anyone purchase a new GEN 2 M4 with the updated handguard, adj stock, larger bolt handle, etc? I have one and the trigger parts seem to be more like the M2 parts then the current M4 parts. I want to order some extra springs but I am confused as what to order. Any one else have a similar experience????
Once stripped, put the 5rd tube in your vice, heat up, then gently untwist the receiver. Do not put your receiver in the vice. There is also a small metal ring on your old tube you need to reuse.
Ordered my FLM through a friend of mine, as I live in Switzerland. It was really fast to ship to him and on the way to me now. Can‘t wait to put it on my M4! 😊
Any plans for a shorty follower for the m4? My favorite load ( federal flight control ) won’t fit all 7 in the tube. Sure would be great if I could. Thx
We already have one, sort of. The M1/M2 follower we make is a copy of Benelli M1/M2 followers, and the barrels are the same as far as dimensions, and the M1/M2 followers are shorter enough to (most likely) always make the difference. From outside the gun you’d never know there was a difference…
The $70 price point that everyone seems to want was established 5 years ago and no other company seems to adjust for rise in costs. Costs have risen exponentially over the last 5 years. Additionally, they may have their own factory - I do not so my costs are higher. I will adjust to rise in costs and place a standard markup on my parts with absolute disregard for what other companies do. The removal of the part that would make it ambi was to reduce weight and surface area to reduce the overall profile. Almost nobody needs this part to be ambi so it’s additional unnecessary weight and surface / profile that isn’t needed. Finally, my mount comes with the rail and the Scout mount, which the original mount 5 years ago didn't include, at all. Those had to be purchased separately. So at the end of the day, if this part isn’t for you, then it isn’t for you. Which is fine…
Ordered and promptly received a shorty shell follower for my m4LE (M2) and 1301LTT. I wanted to let you know that you suggested these as a fix to get maximum capacity. Thank you!!!!
Just got my shorty shell follower for my 1301. I got here really fast! Thank you! I am sure it will work well. Just makes sense. Please make a version for my m4LE. I will buy one immediately to get a full 7 in my m4.
Glad you’re enjoying it! They are very nice, and needed. Regarding a shorty for the M4, I already have a solution - the M1 / M2 follower. They are shorter enough to make the difference and are identical replicas of original M1 / M2 followers. They are sort of generic looking in comparison to the M4 followers, but they will do the trick. Same inside barrel dimensions and same spring dimensions so that follower can be used on the M4 and the aesthetic differences won’t even be obvious when it’s snug in the magazine tube…
Yea, there was a guy who converted a Turkish clone and posted his video on RU-vid. I posted saying he might want to take down the video because he was one us part shy of compliance. Amazed how many people attract me just for telling him he needed a part
It’s a shame that those of us who try to help get such pushback. I’m a licensed attorney, although I consider myself a ‘recovering attorney’ as I’ve not practiced law in 16 years. But I cannot in good conscience sell parts that have potential legal issues without informing people that the law exists, so that they can make an educated decision on whether they want to comply or not. And I get slammed for it. It’s nutty! But so be it - it allows me to rest easier knowing I did what I could. More people appreciate our efforts than those who slam us for it…
I would totally buy parts from FFT, but I can’t with the website terms. The problem is that if I don’t know for sure something’s going to fit my shotgun and there’s absolutely no returns, without exception I just can’t justify it. Especially when the commonly asked questions section says “maybe, maybe not” when looking if it will fit my HK Benelli super 90.
Whether you realize it or not, you hit the nail on the head as to one of the reasons I have a no return / all sales are final policy. I flat out do not want to sell parts for where the fit is a ‘maybe.’. I sell parts for guns where I know the fit is a sure thing. This is why on every product page I specify exactly which guns I sell the parts for, and those guns the fit is a sure thing. I’m 100% not interested in the tinkering aspect of the business where people are unsure what will fit their gun, or where the fit is tricky and oftentimes doesn’t work, like with the clones. I do not want to put valuable time and energy into those situations as I’m already too busy selling for the guns that I know the fit is correct. It just so happens that many parts that one would think would work on the old HK, actually don’t, and I’m not interested in the hassle of jumping through those hoops…
You do a masterful job of taking what should be a 4-minutes video and stretching it out to almost 17 minutes chattering away about the most obvious information. It's like you believe your viewers have the intelligence of a 5 year old. Other than that, nice video.
Can you make a video on 922r and the 1301 tactical with the mesa pistol grip/stock and +2 mag tube extension? If I add the Zhukov hand guard, I’m I in compliance?
Yes. I envisioned being okay with flying back and forth to California every quarter to visit all of my manufacturers. That was a miscalculation. I hated it, and I needed to come back more than once a quarter. So back behind enemy lines it is, making the best parts on the planet for the Benelli M4...
Well, I don’t do gun comparison reviews, and have never spent any time or energy in doing anything like that. I also don’t spend time looking at how to convert one gun into another. Sure, we look at modifying guns, but it’s not how to turn one gun into another. That isn’t the sort of problem solving we do. Finally, whether it’s good marketing or not - who am I to say?
Got in the oversized bolt release and the charging handle last week, and man, I'm impressed. Excellent build and material, and it feels great with both of them. Fully recommend these products for anyone looking for upgrades. Keep up the good work sir.
We sell out fast at that price. Which means it’s underpriced. When anything on the planet sells out fast, one of the rules of economics says to raise the price to a point that allows it to sell but allows you to maintain inventory at all times. That’s true with anything, and that is true with this button. Additionally, we don’t set a standard markup on this button because we are doing the best we can to keep the cost down. But this is an expensive part to make, and we’re a business, not a charity. So the price either suits you, or it does not. Either way, we’ll likely be sold out of them soon.
I do not get this. Both types of stocks are available in Europe directly from Benelli. One is push button, the other is rotate to adjust, they are not compatible. What you describe as American stock, was until recently the only adjustable stock available in Europe for decades. The new stock you describe as European stock, was just released with the Benelli M4 A1 or M4 T-Pro.
I don’t judge a product on how it sells or not. A lot of good products don’t sell. I also don’t judge the gun based upon how it shoots. A lot of guns through history shot just fine, but had other issues. I don’t like clones due to inconsistency in quality and tolerances and fit. 6 or 7 times out of 10 a part isn’t fitting on a clone when 100% of the time it fits on an original Benelli. That’s what I go by - I could care less how they shoot when they are a hassle to fit parts to.
Do any of you drive a vehicle? It probably has an adjustable driver seat...and adjustable mirrors. It actually makes driving the vehicle safer. As a 56 year resident of California, I can tell you that California doesn"t care about safety. they want to restrict your constitutional rights.
I don't know anything about legalities with the clones, or anything else about the clones for that matter. I advise and make parts for original, authentic Benelli shotguns only.
@FreedomFighterTactical Ok,understood. Thanks for your reply sir. Mine is in the mail now, you guys just shipped it and can't wait to get it. Thank you for your time.
What was that second documented? You said collapsible stock, which is what I've always wanted despite the fact that it's so expensive, but then you mentioned something else. Mesa? Someone please confirm
Great update Todd. Thanks. The "shorty" follower sounds interesting - as does the flashlight mount (please include the Scout Pro interface). I'll watch the website.
02:54 - The supernova LE (model 20159) has always come with the 5-pos stock, but the model can be pretty scarce. The last batch of them that came to the US also had a quick-detach tube which is really neat. It was an easter-egg feature, and end-users had to drill a small hole in the rear of the pistol grip adapter to access the detent button, but the QD is fully functional on those guns.
