I don't yet have the M4 to compare it too but my M5 is vulcanite covered. I didn't know for sure but the third lug was loose and I had to chip the vulcanite off in order to tighten the two screws which hold the lug on. (Figuring that a uniformly missing piece of vulcanite is less of a problem than a lug that has ripped off the body because it was loose and ignored.) Serial # 1363XXX. Carpe Luminem, Michael E.
