The M4 is a fun gun that I like a lot but one that can always stand some major and minor improvements. The major one for me was to get an 'oversized' charging handle to replace the too-small one that comes standard. That pinchy and sharp edged little bugger was removing the skin from my index finger even during the break in period and it was a big relief to get the standard larger replacement. I really don't know what Benelli's thought is on the matter but they ain't changing what they supply as standard, even though other of their black shotguns have larger ones. At the same time as I ordered the new handle, and here's the problem with ordering online, I bought what was supposed to be an "oversized" safety switch because why not, but when it came it was just a standard one... I still have it because it would have cost me as much to mail back as it did to buy it.
The kind of things I'm looking at now are light mounts and lights and I'm wondering what people have that worked out well. Of course there's the question of optics, not something I've ever felt a need for on a shotgun but I seems I might as well start stripping some toys off my AR, an Aimpoint PRO for instance, as long as it will co-witness with the M4's ghost ring sights. I know the PRO at least will stand up to the added recoil of a 12 G.
Any further thoughts about good mods and add ons will be appreciated.
