[@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.

[@marksayosmejia7251]

Benelli, a classic.

[@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

[@byMiyp]

Awesome!! Was really looking forward to a video like this :)

[@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.

[@scuddrunner1]

I was sold on your M4 build then you tease me with the other gun at the end of the video.......I want both!! Nice job on the builds!!! :-)

[@piggysleft]

You had me at “Hey guys”

[@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

[@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.

Great upgrade options! Gonna be getting my M4 here shortly and your vid was exactly what I needed for some ideas.

[@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.

[@MrTONYTONYM]

keep an eye out for the charging handle - had mine fell out after about 100 rounds at the range (mostly target loads)

[@armandgun]

So far so good. Mine has a lot more through it than that and hasn't failed. I do have an aftermarket enlarged one in it though. Forgot to mention that in the video.

[@scottv3711]

MrTONYTONYM what size and brand did you get?

[@ianmckenzie4043]

Myself personally I’d rather have an MLok fore grip and only have rails exactly where needed, save a ton of weight, and pic rails + 12g = cheese grater lol

[@armandgun]

Haha I hear you. I am looking closely at the Strike Industries forend for the m4.

[@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.

[@georgejoseph4164]

I knew you'd change your mind on the NForce location...

[@solarapacifica991]

[@gregoryjohnson5656]

Question...How did you add the Muzzle Brake? Was the barrel on this version already threaded? My M4/1014 does not have a threaded barrel to swap chokes. Thank you.

[@ginbobob]

i like the slik look of the M4 with traditional stock and foregrip. This Benelli is cool but to much tacticool for me;)

[@Dc_7o2]

What a beaut

[@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

[@toki89666]

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

[@Summers8Mike]

Hey, love ur content. I am thinking of buying this shotgun in Canada, do these shotguns also have to be less than 5 rounds in ammo capacity to become non- restricted? Or only for rifles magazines?

[@johncobb4862]

With the B&T rail, it seems the set screw on top digs into the barrel? Does this damage the barrel?

[@diocleciodamiao378]

in your opinion this is the best shotgun 12 there is, or there are other better?

[@Justplainoljeff]

Why so much hate on modding the m4? Looks good imo.

[@joshuab.8904]

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

[@davetoth9767]

Why no listing of parts suppliers in your description?!

[@raiders4172]

Hey @arm&gun my B&T quad rail broke off my magazine tube holder while firing it at the range. Do you have any insight why that might have happened?

[@MD-mm1zv]

Where did you get the larger bolt knob? I don't think you mentioned that.

[@danielcke]

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 ?

[@1111111111202]

hi unrelated question, which gun would you pick if you had to pick one for life? b&T acp 308 or the xcr 308??

[@armandgun]

That's a tough one. I am going to do an accuracy video on both soon. I really, really like the apc308, but the xcrm has better ergs/controls imo, and has the ability for calibre conversions, so I am going to stick with it for now.

[@tristansundquist1834]

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.

Does it still function with all those bells and whistles on it? I but the mesa tactical shell carrier on M-2's and it no longer functioned with light loads. The added weight changed the inertia.

The m4 ARGO system is a piston system. It doesn't have the shortcomings of an inertia system.
