Pick my poison: M1014 or a M4 EXT?
Curious what folks here might recommend? I already have a factory SBS M4 Entry model that I absolutely love and want to get a companion in the full size category.
I have an opportunity (assuming stock is still there) to get a M1014 for around $1300 new through a friend at my LGS but it seems there is a lot of back and forth on what it can be fed and obviously I’ll want to change out the bolt release, shelf and tube extension.
Alternatively I could just get a M4 EXT for a hair bit more and get the benefit of the choke system which my SBS does not have. Seems the bolt release is already enlarged so the shelf swap would likely be it.
Penny for your thoughts? Besides the thicker barrel and just the M1014 being what it is, would there be any reason to not just get the EXT?
