Benelli M4 full-length mag tube legality?

^^ But then you still have a silly looking screw-on tube. Full-length mag tubes only for full tactical status.

Remember...

What do you mean by an extra round? With my factory plugged setup w/ crimped dummy extension, I can load 5 in the mag +1 in chamber. 6 total. Isn't that the legal limit?
 
The legal limit is 5x 3'' shells in the magazine. You pin the mag extension so that it fits 5.9x 3'' shells (the 6th shell does not fit). Now you can fit 6x 2 3/4'' shells.

The limit applies to the number of 3'' shells you can fit. Not the number of smaller shells you can fit. Just like you can fit more than 10 rounds of 9mm in a 10mm mag.
 
Don't want to hijack this thread - but I recently purchased a Benelli M4 - even took it trap shooting !!!

While the girl in the pic is quite lovely, I have a better chance of getting a gun that looks like hers - than getting her...

Can anyone direct me to a website(s) that offer tactical equipment for the M4?
 
Here's my Benelli as she sits right now. If I ghost load a round on the carrier dog and throw one in the chamber, it will hold 8 rounds of 2 3/4". Add to that the velcro on 7 shot side saddle and that makes 15 rounds on board, before I have to start reloading from a pouch.

I desperately need a GG&G bolt release and a Carrier Comp bolt handle! Those two upgrades are a MUST before I go messing around with the full length mag tube.

After that, I will add a Noveske rear QD sling plate, some sort of front QD plate (if I can find one) and tritium for the LPA.

Angry,

Did you unplug your factory mag and extend it one round, so you can now fit 6 in the tube?

The shotgun started out as a 14" restricted gun. I bought the 18.5" barrel after the fact. Then I bought a +2 extension and plugged it internally so the overall capacity of the magazine fully assembled is 5.9 rounds of 3". This allows me to fit 6 x 2 3/4" shells legally.
 
Wolverine Supplies has GG and G parts for the Benelli. I have a new bolt handle and extended bolt release coming from them. Also picked up an oversized saftey off the EE.

Mesa 8 shot side saddle and rear QD sling mount and with an T1 on top and a two shot extension plugged internally.

How did you plug it? I have a full length titanium Carrier Comp coming and I'm not sure exactly what should be done plug wise.

With the Benelli factory +2 extension (not the crimped one), you can simply remove the spring retaining clip from the end of your mag tube, flip it around backward and push it all the way to the front of the +2 extension tube where it will butt up against the tapered end where the mag cap screws on. JB weld or the like can be used to permanently install it. With this method the magazine capacity is 5 rounds of 3" and 6 rounds of 2 3/4". Totally invisible to the outside.

Where did you get that extension? I would buy an 18.5" M4 if I could set it up like that. Great looking shotgun by the way.
 
couple of questions, what sling is on the M4 in the OP's pic?

also, is carrier comp titanium full length tube about the best option for this? (plugged for 5 rounds obviously)

also, any suggestions for a good source for G&GG accessories.. looking for the bolt handle, bolt release and safety..
 
Wolverine Supplies for the GG&G stuff.

Looks like a Blue Force Gear VTAC Sling.

Full Tube is cool, but the 2 shot extensions are cheaper and just as functional.

thanks.. i did check wolverine and they didn't seem to have much G&GG right now.

i really don't like the seam where the extension joins on.. so the full length one looks much cleaner..

Not sure.
I am using a Tactical Link Interceptor 2-Point Sling in OD Green on my BM4. It’s super functional and very clean looking.

Yes, if you want a titanium mag tube which weighs HALF that of the factory tube. Not to mention the parkerized finish is the best match to the factory colour you will find. And it’s the best quality mag tube available.

I’ll post pics of my BM4 with Carrier Comp full-length titanium mag tube (plugged for 6 2¾" rounds) when it’s ready.
