What military units use the Benelli M4? Are there any other rail options for a tactical light other than that 300.00 one? Do the military guys like them? Who sells screw in chokes for these?
Who makes the best CQB sling fior this?
Who makes extra shell carriers that attach to the butt stoock or reciever?
Does Carrier Comp make the best tube extension?

Military calls it the M1014. I had them in both Units I was apart of, but my deployment to Iraq we didn't use them at all. The Armorer would carry one when going on convoy, and the only other time I saw them were Marines on guard at Camp HOB and TQ.

I'm pretty sure he knows what he is talking about, but I would like to hear his rationale for it.

I thought carrier comp was titanium and therefore lighter and stronger than factory? Do any folding stocks other than the Benelli factory collapsable work?

At least for the Marine Corps, we've used the M1014 in my unit for our last 3 deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. You will only mostly see grunt units with these on a regular basis.
Can't help you with anything else except I personally love this weapon system, it'll feed whatever ammo you put in it. Even operating in shitty conditions in Iraq and Afghanistan the weapon stays pretty clean, even with all the dust and putting a lot of rounds through it. It's never failed once when needed it.

are you a LE?
i read somewhere M4 and M1014 uses different parts. not just sock, M1014 gets better barrel (heavy line).

I agree with all of the above except regarding the "Carrier Comp" tube. I feel that it is better than OEM. I purchased a "replacement" OEM tube from Numrich (I think it is just a re-labled LE tube, as it matched the weapon PERFECTLY for color, etc. and looked the same as my OEM 5-shot tube). On my next 2 M4's, I purchased Carrier Comp tubes. The finish was a very good match, the tube was lighter, and it was apparent when installing it that the tolerances were MUCH better on the Carrier Comp product. He holds the threads to +- .0001 last I recall (maybe it was just thousandths, either way, it's very near, if not, Aerospace quality. The guy is a former has a rather impressive bio. Very VERY picky about stuff he makes.). I could care less really, as Benelli probably holds them to a lot looser standards, but it sure is a nice product!
