Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By rubicon20032003: his point. I have a sbs m4 already and regular Benelli barrels fit it no problem on my clone So a Benelli bbl works good on your clone, is that what I am understanding? What clone do you have? I ask because I found on my 1st Charles Daly 601DPS, which I bought used, there are some minor differences. This could be from this 601DPS may be older. Particularly the mag tube on this used model is threaded on the receiver end differently. I did just pick up a new in box 601DPS but I still need to look it over and compare the two for any other differences due to production generations. Thanks!! |

If no, does the mag tube easily spin out or is it Lock-tited on the receiver? |

The spring and follower come right out when you unscrew the cap on the front of the tube. The tube itself seems to be a crap shoot- some here have had to heat the tube to break the LockTite, others (like me) have just unscrewed the tube without issue. |

FWIW, when I "unscrew the cap on the front of the tube" - which I think means the process to remove the barrel assembly from the receiver - it does not facilitate removal of the spring and follower. That end (the 'fore' (?) end) of the mag tube is constricted via a built-in washer which I assume acts as the plug to limit capacity. But the tube screwed out easily, so all good removing the internals. |

Yes, it's the procedure for disassembly. Be careful, when the cap leaves the threads that spring WILL come out fast. Then take the spring out and point the muzzle down, the follower will fall out. You might have to shake the shotgun a bit, but it'll come. Sorry, I replaced the tube almost right away, before I even shot the thing. I don't remember anything about the original tube, that's sitting in a box. |

Still monitoring things....so is there not one brand that stands out as more reliable than the others? Also, if I do pull the trigger on one and it's a lemon that doesn't cycle/etc.... what's the fix? I'm guessing customer service is non-existent.
Thanks! |

@slack_out - per my post above (and quoted below) - the HF Viton o-rings are less thickness (diameter of the material, not the overall "O" shape) than the factory rings. I prefer the Viton rings but want to ensure that this won't induce malfunction. Thoughts?

Not sure, I suppose that slightly smaller O-ring could cause a problem with functioning. I'm just comparing what others have posted. However, I'd want to compare the Panzer Arms O-ring when it was brand new, vs after getting messed up (swollen, etc?), as it appears in the pics.
This is a great thread but the information is real spread out. Hard to make a conclusion. I might swing by Harbor Fright and pick up those O-rings. If I do, I'll post O-rings, new vs new. My Panzer M4 isn't even here yet. |

That looks good, if not a hair shorter than normal. Who makes that tube? Steel? I'd much rather spend $20 more for that and have a full length one piece tube than just an extension for a few bucks less! |

I'd much rather spend $20 more for that and have a full length one piece tube than just an extension for a few bucks less! Safety Harbor makes it....yes, steel. I have two and they are nice. However, my first 601DPS must be an older gen because the thread patterns between the receiver and the extension tube are different. I also have a newer 601DPS and I have not removed the factory tube yet so hoping the newer version works with the extension tube. If the newer 601DPS is incompatible as well the extension tubes will be going up on the EE here. |

The cap tightens over the tube and seats against that hub which is attached to the barrel. That hub's location would determine how far or close the cap would be in comparison to the length of the barrel. RX Arms makes a Benelli M4 magazine cap that gains an extra 0.15” within the cap which would help offset the location of your magazine cap. |

I think the tube IS shorter, but one would have to measure it to confirm.
Also, $100 for an endcap? Yikes!!! |
