[@marksayosmejia7251]

Benelli, a classic.

[@Enough_Tumbleweed]

The m4 is a perfect gun to be blessed as a lefty. Actuation of the bolt release is a breeze. Where righties have to use the two finger technique, I can easily close it with my support hand thumb. Makes it sooo much easier. Not that its "hard", but easier is easier.

[@Andy152R]

I just added a Carlson breacher choke, GGG singlepoint sling plate and Mlok handguard. It already came with the collapsible stock. I just had to install it. I love these shotguns.

[@shanes2428]

One of my favorites, definitely one I'd recommend to anyone. I actually found a pistol micro red dot the best, a little faster target acquisition for me. Cheers!

[@armandgun]

Nice, yeah I have admired some setups with the low mount with trijicon rmr

[@sleepeatdrive7619]

I just got a Benelli M4 H20, you’ve just gave me ideas to mod this beast!!

[@monkeeshitz]

Go check out ScalarWorks optic mount for the Benelli you won’t regret it

[@schrodingersgat4344]

That M4 is a nice bit of Kit! Allot of whitetail (and turkey) have been taken with magnified optics on shotguns. The ACOG is a pricey way to go, but ...hey why not? Again,though: KSG needs a foregrip! I won't run mine without one. I recommend using one with two screws. More secure mounting less prone to failure.

I’m sure you can get the edges rounded off.

[@whomagoose6897]

If you want to put a full length magazine tube on your M-4, instead of the mag tube extension. Freedom Fighter Tactical has mag tubes in both high grade steel or titanium. Other parts are available too. Freedom Fighter Tactical makes all the parts needed for the 922R legal requirements comply with American legal restrictions.

You're a beautiful man. i want this gun and upgrades!!! /cries

[@ejhickey]

Good video. New to firearms . Interesting to see how all these upgrades fit on this gun.

[@whomagoose6897]

You definitely have a lot of good upgrades. Only one additional item would be good to add. A shell carrier from Asgard Defense to put on the right side of the fore arm's piccatinny rail. Holds two shells in line with the ejection port. All you have to do is grab one shell and slide the shell straight back into the ejection port for a quick tactical load. Watch the John Wick movies to see how it works. John Wick #2 & #3 movies has scenes where Keanu Reeves uses a single shell holder to shoot one last assassin. The Asgard Defense carrier can hold two shells for those possible "oh crap" situations.

[@inglouriousbastard5489]

Ladies and gentlemen... the 23 pound m4. Never thought the m4 could be ugly but u proved me wrong. A light sure but everything else is so unnecessary

Benelli M4 is simply the best home defense weapon available IMO..all these accessories like red dots and quad rails are useless and take away from the ergonomics of the broomstick ...a flashlight, iron sights and an upgraded bolt handle that’s how I roll

[@ladamyre1]

I don't think it needs anything other than the 7rd mag tube. It's a shotgun. In the home, at night, aiming by ear is good enough... well... maybe mount a flashlight on it.

[@yurikfarba7169]

[@michaellabus6447]

@@yurikfarba7169 a red dot with the “circle of death” is a must have, especially for close range defense. Patterning your loads and knowing all your pellets will be in that circle ⭕️ could save a life of an innocent, in a hostage situation or behind the target.

They're mainly calling out the weight I believe, which is a valid point the guns are heavy naked.

Just picked up a benelli M4. Trying to get a pistol grip or adjustable stock for it. In Washington you can’t sell tactical shotguns with a pistol grip.

[@schoppepetzer9267]

The M4 is already not a lightweight shotgun. Upgrading it with all that makes it a really heavy beast. So it's then only good for putting it into a bag, driving to the range and impress the other tacticool guys there.

With the B&T hand guard, is there a small gap between the barrel ring and the receiver? There’s a tiny gap on mine and though I haven’t shot it yet after installing.. it’s a bit concerning since with the OEM hand guard, the barrel ring sits flush against the receiver.

[@franciscvarga1212]

What’s your update on that hand guard ? I just bought one but I’m reading it destroys your shotgun! Is this true ?

[@toki89666]

It would be funny to install a scope on it and try hitting with slugs at 200 yards or so.

[@Big_Lex]

Goals

[@adrenalinwillusa3314]

LOL! Now it weighs as much as a .50 cal. Drop the Inforce, it’ll fall apart after a dozen rounds. Consider a RMR on a raised QD mount, and definitely lose the ring mounted pic rail, the e clip falls off especially if you mount anything to it after a few rounds. The M4 is beautiful, don’t tactifool it to death.

[@StealthAZ]

You can throw a vertical grip on that ? Isn’t that too short ATF has defined vertical as 90 degrees to the Bore of the barrel

[@mosulmedic7048]

Inforce WMLs are not good

[@toki89666]

I'm happy my brothers to the north can at least enjoy a shotgun as intended with it's balls intact. It seems like alot of countries allow whatever the fuck shotgun you want. Is there a max capacity on them in Canada? We have some states in the U.S. that restrict it to 8.

Very nice set up. Very similar to mine. There's one thing that bothers me to no end of all you video guys that never, and I mean "never" include where you got that particular accessory and how much you paid for it. Is this a KZbin rule? Your presentation and delivery were good.....and you're knowledgeable of your product/weapon. But if you're going to inform your audience of what accessories you put on anything, tell them the model number/part number, where you got it and how much you paid for it. That is pertinent information in any presentation. Be detailed oriented and complete in your presentation. Other than that, good video.
