Benelli m4 mag tube pre order

Here i pulled out the Benelli just for you guys. i white balanced to the white paper so its neutral. IMO i don't think it really matters at all if its slightly darker or not, the whole barrel assembly has tons of slight variations if i look hard enough.

again ill add, this is an old version as i stated in the first pic the new batch could be different and these photos not inductive of the new ones. i just posted the first one to show how it looks installed (which i think looks great personally)

The rest of the gun is parkerized grey. You can see that only the tube is black.

its not, the receiver is aluminum and is anodized. the tube has a more matte finish which doesnt reflect light as well as the barrel which is more satin in finish. again i feel like this is splitting hairs as the retaining ring is closer in finish to the extension than it is the tube. in person every piece will have slight variations in shade.
 
I asked years ago, maybe you can do it this run - Can you make them constant OD and extend them back to barrel lug? I would buy another one if it made it look like a full mag tube was installed.

AS in the same ID for our tube from start to end, if so no we can not, it would not work
if you mean a 1 pc mag tube complete and blocked to 5.9rds of 3 inch, also no as we make ours from solid steel, and can do mag 10 inches

Does anyone else understand what I am trying to say? Let me try again.

When I look at your installed extension, starting from the rear barrel lug, I see a gap showing the factory mag tube, then the start of the extension large OD. It then steps down to a smaller OD to the front barrel lug.

What I want to see is no gap at the rear barrel lug, the factory mag tube is covered. The extension will fill the full visible distance between the two barrel lugs and be the same outside diameter tube starting at the rear barrel lug all the way up to the front barrel lug, no step down on visible on the outside. The inside is still blocked at legal capacity but looks like a straight tube from outside.

I agree it would look better this way, it would need to step the diameter down right where the front lug begins to maintain the look.
