Benelli M4: Bought the GG&G side sling loop...help!!

[Mr. Shotgun]

Hello guys, I just go the GG&G M4 side sling adapter plate loop. It goes in between the stock and the receiver, and I have having trouble installing it. I reviewed the instructions and I dont understand a few things. They say to remove the recoil pad with a #2 philips screwdriver, but I am not sure how to go about doing it....

Has anyone done this mod??

Did you unscrew the stock?

I dont see how the butt pad would be involved with the installation.

Yeah, I removed the trigger assembly, unscrewed the stock off....but after that step the instructions say to remove the recoil pad....maybe I'll call GG&G on monday

Hey there,

I just installed a single point attachment (By KZ) ... but I assume the steps are similar ...

Once you have the stock removed .. Remove trigger assembly and unscrew counterclockwise ... you should be able to simply slip the mount on an reattach all parts ...

Could you specify more clearly what the problem is ??

Good Luck,

Removing the recoil pad doesn't make sense. It looks like it would just slide onto the recoil tube from the bottom and then screw the stock back on.

If you have to remove the recoil pad for some reason, it's easy ... stick a screwdriver through the two holes in the pad and unscrew it.

I just wish the instructions came with pictures illustrating each step of the install.

Thats the thing I am scared about, how the heck do I get a screwdriver thru two tiny little holes on the recoil pad without marring the rubber??

For the rubber butt pad, it's kind of like anal sex, you don't think it will fit in there... but it does.

I can't see a reason for you needing to remove the butt pad. You should just unscrew the stock from the receiver, slip the sling mount up the receiver extension, then screw the stock back into place.

I was wondering, sicne I was looking down the hole running thru the stock I saw something like a pointed rod which might serve as an alignment guide for the stock. Or maybe its supposed to rest against the back of the recoil spring tube to prevent the recoil spring from shooting out the back, I dont know????

Can the M4 theoretically fire with out the stock on safely??

[StrangerDanger]

Yes, it can be fired without the stock, but I wouldn't recommend it. The nut you see inside the stock is what the receiver extension threads into. The factory sling mounts cannot be removed, so I haven't any idea why they're sending you inside the stock.

Put some gun oil on the screwdriver and stick it in the hole. It will not mar the rubber.
