    Its been a while since I saw that particular post, but he didn't post the letter itself. I *THINK* he just said the letter addressed the number of imported parts and I think EL took it from there (somewhere in the LTT 1301thread).

That definitely cements my wantsies of an M4 eventually, but unfortunately means I'll have to jump through the hoops to have that stock, along with all the extra cash for the stock on top of everything else. Last I looked they were $400+ just for the stock itself. In either case, both awesome guns, I'm very envious.
    This M4 was a Law Enforcement version which came with that stock, 7rd tube and threaded for chokes. I don't believe the Mil version of this stock has the midpoint position but don't quote me.

    Roger that. That would explain how it got into my head that it was an "all or nothing" stock. But having a midpoint seems like it would fix the most common criticism of the M4- the LOP. In any case, thanks for costing me a few thousand bucks sometime down the road

    Just accept the fact that you've been assimilated. Hit "add to cart", close your eyes and find your happy place while nature does its thing.

    And all I have is an 870 with a Magpul stock and a Surefire forend...

    I'll shoot you my address so you can send one before the holidays.

    Of course, I'll have to get rid of at least one of my seven total firearms...I mean, who needs more than a shotgun?

    (I learned that from Uncle Joe. Hey wait a minute...if you can't rack it, how're you supposed to scare the bad guys off?)

    Since you're still in here... Charging one from the lifter still sounds pretty bad ass.

    Also concur: maybe 550 rounds through two 1301s and they are remarkably reliable. As in zero problems with any ammo I have fed them: buck, bird, slugs.

    I've seen one 1301T that was borderline with 8-pellet FC. It would choke when run from the CQB/short-stock position, but would run reliably when shouldered conventionally. It was brand new out of the box, and may have needed some break-in with some full-power buck, or perhaps something was wrong with it, I don't know. Others have seemed to run fine with it. Regardless, it goes to show that you need to test your gun with your chosen duty/defensive ammo, not only for patterning, but for function (especially with a self-loader).
