what do you suppose this does?
Just hold the trim on?

does that buttstock open to store things?

You probably could, but that might make the buttstock connection to the rest of the gun too weak. |

I don't know what it's supposed to do but it looks like something maybe MagPul could work wonders on... replace that with an adjustable cheek weld and LOP... surely if anyone could do it it would be they. The buttstock is hollow? So you could cut a portion of that off and hide crack or something underneath that cheek piece?

I guess. crack and cheekpiece go well together |

I thought the "factory" VFG might be pretty decent. Oh well. So who do we need to shake a stick at to have the Photoshopped one made? Think Beretta might take the suggestion seriously? Or is there some third party company that might do it? |

It may well be - please don't go by me not liking it! I still haven't really jumped on the VFG bandwagon, ARs or otherwise. I see (and have experienced) the advantage they offer in FA fire, but I just don't (personally) prefer them on my semis. (Just an old fart stuck in his ways, I guess...  )

I'll keep that in mind. I like them for shooting while standing or any otherwise unsupported position. It's a nice alternative to just holding the hand guards. Gives you a better way to pull the rifle in toward you slightly to keep it a litle more stable. But I'm not claiming to have mastered this technique in any way...

Well, since the VFGs already came up & are being discussed (sorry for the further hijack
 ), I dug up a couple of old (pre-shroud, pre-EOTech) pictures of mine with the folding TDI/Beretta VFG in question:

What would have to happen to make it collapsible as well? Register it as a SBR?

Good luck with that setup and the one-piece polymer stock. |

I wouldn't have minded a collapsable stock like they have on the 5.56mm version.
 Well I got a tac light today, also finally got to zero my sights today. As you can see, they didn't need too much adjusting :) |

I was looking for these pictures... I need to play around with that. When I finally shot mine the other day that damned cheek pad thing was pulling on my facial hair like a mother f'er. I'm trying to figure out a groovy way to fix that problem without making it look like some piece of ghetto trash. |

I'm trying to think of a good way to attach a lycra enclosed gel pad, like the ones in bicycle seats and mouse pads. Some how get it to attach to the cheek piece without using any glue or anything else that would leave some sort of residue on the receiver. I figure it would make it a little more comfrtable and as ong as it overlaps the seem where the piece connects to the receiver I woudl think it would eliminate the whisker-biter problem. |

Why did Beretta make it a thumb hole stock to begin with?

Probably in part because of all the fucked up anti-gun laws here they are trying to make it as easy as possible for all of us lazy Americans to be able to own one.

I have a CX4 Storm on the way... after I get the goodies on it that I want (top and side rails, tac sling, SPOT mkIII, weaponlight and plenty of magazines), I plan to thread the barrel and obtain a suppressor. Heck, there's a shop that will do it here in Texas, and they're not far from me.
As it turns out, the CX4 is imported as a sporting arm, and are not subject to the parts count restriction and all that BS. SBR it. Thread it and put a suppressor or FH on it. Have at it! |

I plan to. I have pretty much decided I'm going to get a 9mm suppressor and share it between the Cx4 and my Glock 17. I'm going to a gun show this weekend to shop around for other toys and hopefully there will be some suppressor guys there I can talk to. I'm thinking the Gemtech Trinity might be the best way to go in terms of swapping between the two. |

Well, actually, the Storm IS subject to 922(r) regs - Although it might not appear on any list, it is an IMPORTED semi-automatic carbine, capable of accepting "detachable" magazines. as such, it would become a "semi-automatic assault weapon" (I know, I know- bulls**t), if it had:
A threaded barrel A fixed stock with a traditional pistol grip A collapsible or folding buttstock A bayonet lug An integral "flash suppressor" In order for Beretta to obtain approval for importation of the Cx-4 for civilian sale, it had to be made in its current configuration. Now, with the expiration of the AWB, if Beretta were to manufacture the Cx-4 in the US, (no longer an import), these other configurations would be possible. But since Beretta is probably selling all they can make, I can't see it happening, and anyway, for a weapon designed, approved, and made available under 922(r) And the Awb, it's a pretty nice piece. As for modifying the Storm to include some of these features, it's most likely a 922(r) violation if the weapon contains more than 10 imported parts

I've got mine set up with the shroud:
  Unfortunately, I haven't even had time to fire, and am looking to sell/trade it.... so it's up in the EE. |

I've got it up on the EE in the hopes of getting something in .308. Funny thing is, I have just worked out a trade to get an M9, so the swappable magazines thing would be nice. We'll see what happens. Since I haven't fired one, I guess I just don't know how cool they are. The scope on mine is a BSA Panoramic Scope. The Cowitness with the sights of the CX4 is perfect. |

Does anyone fine the original sights on these things hard to see thru, like the holes are too damn small.

Wouldn't it be cool if they made a model that matched that Surefire?
Haven't used them yet. Scoped it right out of the box.

Yup, I fold them down and use the BSA red dot sight I just purchased from Midway USA. It's the one with the 4 different reticles. Not too bad except that the point of impact changes with each reticle slightly so just choose one and stick with it. I like the EOTech type reticle the best. I dumped about 250 rounds(approx 500 rounds so far this week!) of 45ACP tonight using ProMag 9 rounders.....ugh! They're kind of iffy using Remington 230gr FMJ so I got lots of practice doing malfunction drills. It seems the bullet would get stuck at a 45degree angle between the mag follower and the top of the chamber. Sucks. Beretta 8045 Mags are the only way to go.  I also ordered the barrel shroud sold by ET79 over at Beretta Forums, can't wait to get it to complete "the look" So far I'm thrilled with the 45ACP Storm and may consider picking up a 9mm Storm too! |

I would shoot it at night and see . But I voted yes cause you cant test all types of ammo . Besides I think it's going to need one !

I forget the members name (msnow?)... but he owns Plastix-PlusTX... he might be able to make one out of plastic instead of wood.
Wood just doesn't seem to jive with a plastic guns. |
