Tuning Your Benelli M4 / M1014 Trigger Components

Описание: Hey folks—Todd at Freedom Fighter Tactical. In this video I custom-tune a Freedom Fighter Tactical Benelli M4 trigger kit to fix a rare reset hang-up on the disconnector and walk through simple diagnostics, where tolerance stacking can cause issues, and the light touch needed to restore a clean reset. I show how I confirm the symptom, identify the contact points (disconnector/hammer hook), and verify the fix with safety function checks (10/10 passes). I also cover why this shows up more often in polymer vs. aluminum trigger housings, when a housing swap can help and maybe even solve the issue without any tuning, and why my trigger kits have delivered for 16+ years—plus the 922(r) compliance benefits for Benelli M4 builds. If you’re building or upgrading your Benelli M4, this quick tune-up guide will help you keep your trigger crisp, reliable, and range-ready.

00:23 – Why tolerance stacking causes this (≈1% of kits)
00:51 – Live symptom: trigger not fully resetting off the disconnector
01:15 – Temporary manual reset demonstration
01:57 – Tools: choosing the least-aggressive file
02:31 – Micro-tuning: easing the disconnector hook contact
02:45 – Test, reassess, and keep material removal minimal
03:00 – Clear view: removing components for demonstration
03:24 – Lightly softening the hook surfaces (disconnector/hammer)
03:31 – Safety function checks: target 10/10 passes
03:48 – How I perform the safety check sequence
04:06 – How little material you actually need to remove
04:11 – Two tuning spots that solve 99% of cases
04:34 – Why OEM swaps sometimes show the same behavior (factory tweaks)
04:55 – Longevity of FFT trigger kits + 922(r) compliance note
05:10 – Polymer vs. aluminum housings: when a swap helps
05:30 – Wrap-up, options recap, and next steps
