O’Dell Benelli M4 Clone :)

So I upgraded the Foreend and charging handle! Fit like a glove! No issues.

Build quality is really, really good. I am happy with the purchase.
I've never taken apart an M4 so I don't know if the gas ports are similar; it definitely doesn't look like the ports on a Remington Versa Max.

Unfortunately, the M4 URBINO stock does not fit out of the box, however I think it is possible to adapt it to fit (I will explore this over the next few weeks.)

Anyone (like me) wanting to remove the rails and put a bead on the front... this thing was made for it. Under the front sight housing (set screw and red loctite) is a block of steel that is perfectly aligned to the bare receiver which could be tapped and fitted with a bead, which I plan on doing.

GG&G Tactical bolt is a direct swap.

Magazine tube will be easy to work with once I've sorted out how I am going to plug the tube to meet legal requirements.

*Note: lots of "redlike"-loctite used. If you want to disassemble as I have heat is required.

EnjoY~!

I was able to shoulder one of these today and they seem like a nice set up and if they perform like a Benelli M4 I’m sure they are going to sell a bunch of them.

The Benelli M4 is my most favourite shotgun I own.
 
I'll be waiting to hear how these knockoffs perform with low brass cheapo target shells. If well, then I will be owning one.

No issues right out of the box with target loads has been all I've seen so far, with one guy saying he had a hickup or two for the first couple tubes then no issues.

A 10 shot break in so to speak for one gun and good to go for all the others so far with cheap target loads.
 
I put 100 rounds through mine. High and low brass, target an 3” mag, low recoil and #9 all the way to bb and 00 buck and slugs. Not one hiccup. Slower cycling on the lighter stuff but still functioned. And super clean after. Most of the bird and target loads were 40+ years old.
 
Unboxed mine at the range , then a quick 30rds of Federal target loads and 5 challenger target slugs , this thing will make you giggle.
Few observations , it feels lite , and the recoil is not bad for such a light feeling gun .
The sights are nicer in person, the front could be bigger for my old eyes , but they do the job .
The finish sure does hold the oil , almost like its parkerized .
And the stock needs a qd sling point.
YMMV.
 
Took mine for a test run of 5 0 Buck and 25 #4 shot. Ran like a champ, no issues whatsoever except not taking enough ammo lol. Just curious, the manual shows the Argo gas cylinders being turned off for cleaning by hand but mine wouldn’t budge no matter what I tried, cocking handle doesn’t fit the holes. Am I doing something wrong, really want to strip this down. Build quality is way more than I expected for sure!

I had to unscrew the ends and remove the springs, then use an Allen key through both holes to break it free. Then assemble the cylinders with the springs when out of the gun. Now they can be put in hand tight.

Awesome, thanks for the info. Last thing I wanted to do was screw up my brand new gun doing something stupid which has happened on occasion :redface:
 
Any updates on fitting the urbino stock ?

I also have a Urbino M4 stock and can provide an update to amplify the fitment problem G37 stated earlier. G37 - Big thanks for posting those pictures BTW.

1. In picture 1 you can't quite see but the back of the trigger guard on the P4/Canuck is almost twice as wide as the Urbino slot. P4 12mm and Urbino slot 7mm. This could be solved by trimming down the stock although you may has a slight gap between the pistol grip and the rear of the trigger guard when you are done.
2. The bigger problem is pictures 2 & 3. The P4 recoil spring tube looks to be about 21mm to 26mm too long depending whether you modify the end of the P4 recoil spring tube to fit flush in the end of the Urbino stock or whether you use a spacer. Picture 2 is close to bottoming out which is where I measured the 26mm gap. The Urbino stock is also designed to fit a round recoil spring tube but the P4 tube has a square collapsible slide on it as seen in picture 4. The options would be to either cut and thread the existing P4 recoil spring tube; buy a new M4 recoil spring tube (hopefully the threads are the same); or get someone to manufacture one similar to the idea that Sure Cycle Systems has done. I'm sure a forum sponsor here could get one manufactured if there was enough interest.

In short it'll take a bit of effort for it to fit. Out of curiosity can someone measure the threads on the recoil spring tube. Curious if they match the 11707 model M4s. I believe they use M21 x 1 - 6g on the receiver for the recoil spring tube. Thanks again to G37 for posting the pictures.

Ok I just discovered this thread and am interested for a new range toy without spending a bag full of money for the amount I'll use it. Going online I see 2 versions available. One is the Kommando, and the other is called a Canuck operator. Are these the same gun with different labels, or is there a difference?
