Benelli M4 Light options

[Greg Bell]

Hey guys,


I have a Benelli M4 With a GG&G light mount, and like all GG&G stuff it is...OK. I used to have o IWC scout mount which I stupidly left on my old M$ that I traded for my LE model. Well, is there anything else out there worth a flip? I really don't want to swap to a MLOCK hand guard because I am a fan of plastic hand guards on my shotgun for various reasons. I gather the guy behind IWC has passed. Any chance someone has taken over at IWC or maybe someone else will make the design? Any other good options?

I too am looking for an IWC equivalent M4 Mount.

It looks like someone should copy it. As far as I can tell IWC is defunct.

The owner of IWC died unexpectedly.

The family shut down direct sales on the website, but they have posted that they are currently operating but fulfilling dealer orders only.

It seems a little premature to be ripping off their intellectual property.

With respect to the late Earl,
It's been over a year and the only orders that I am aware they are fulfilling are the sling mounts through relabeled Ferro concepts.
Other than that, 95% of their other products are no longer produced nor are they available through any dealers.

Hopefully, somebody will reach out to the family and buy or license some of their designs to be reproduced.

RXArms is coming out with an M-Lok heat shield https://rxarms.com/products/benelli-...-m4-handguard/ that might work.

IWC has an address moved from Colorado to California. No one seems to be able to get a hold of a single person associated with IWC. No emails, phone calls, snail mail, in person visits have been effective. At this point their claim to be delivering to dealers is dubious. I understand they lost the owner and apparent driving force. It is unfortunate that the company was not properly managed such that the death of a single person resulted in an abrupt end.

The only thing that could be more of a downgrade business wise than that move would be moving to NY - lol

I know you said you didn't want a forend, but the Midwest Industries one works great on my MAC 1014 Clone. Very secure with plenty of MLok mounting options. Available at Brownells for $152.99. Hope this helps.
