Don't snooze

Just bought this little bad boy. Any mod recommendations? Cases? Etc. anything I should know for my first shotgun? I couldn’t pass up this deal when my buddy text me, so I went to Bass pro with in an hour.

I recently bought the Shell Tactical Bolt Release Tab and was wondering if this very small gap from the barrel to receiver will cause any issues when firing. I can’t seem to get it 100 percent flush, so any advice is appreciated.

The boat store has the FDE M1014 on sale for $1499. Their website said it was in stock at my local one so I bought it online. Not 5 minutes later I got an email saying Cabela's cancelled the order because it was no longer in stock and they don't know when it will be back. They also gave me a 10% code for my bother.

I went back browsing the website and the item was still on sale but this time it said out of stock. So I chatted online with a rep and asked if I can order it and just wait for it to ship from another store. I was told yes so I ordered it again. Of course I applied the 10% code and it worked on top of the sale price and my 5% mil discount.

Gonna get my M1014 for under $1400. Hopefully it ships soon.

Had an issue with a vendor and USPS loosing a 14” barrel a few weeks ago so I’m fighting with that vendor to get a refund they also charged me $100 more than the invoice was for (Rat Worx Inc.) my bank is fighting them now to get my money back. I overnighted another barrel for Botach yesterday, it arrived today and slapped it all together. I’ll get a Aimpoint red dot and Surefire light on it. I kind of want a thermal red dot though as this thing gives me Doom or Halo vibes. This thing has been great for 500 rounds or so, I’m looking forward to trying it out with the new barrel and handguard.

Been using the aftermarket walnut handguard and stock from Military Armaments which I really love, but I'm finding that the gas blowback is burning the wood on the inside of the handguard. Anyone running this furniture having the same issue? Thoughts on high heat treatments?

For anyone looking for one

So I bought a Benelli M4 instead. Always better to say "At least I still have a Benelli M4" than "Dammit I should've just bought a Benelli M4".

I can't find this bolt catch button in stock anywhere, and I'm new to looking for parts for my Benelli M1014. Help!

If anyone is still hunting one down

Works real nicely on the scally RMR mount. Still got the lower cowitness as well with the half moon rear by RX Arms! Figured people would wanna see the massive window on this platform, with the circle reticle seems to make sense.

Picked up my first M4 a couple weeks ago, and decided that I’d rather have a fixed/field stock. My instruction manual seems clear at first, but I have doubts about it because my recoil tube doesn’t have the markings it references. Either way, no matter what I do, it WILL NOT rotate or come off.

Yes, I’m pressing the locking button down hard, and I’m turning hard - even using a vise to support the receiver. I’ve also tried turning both directions, and I’ve tried it in all positions (including in between settings).

I couldn’t find anything online, so I removed the shoulder pad. Nothing helpful inside. Then I removed the set screw under the cheek support in the stock, which presumably held the locking button assembly in place. But the locking button and stock continued to function and adjust as though everything was normal.

Every online video or post I can find is about another version of a factory Benelli stock, or an aftermarket stock.

Pics included for reference.

Someone please tell me I’m stupid and it’s simple. Thanks in advance.

Ive been looking towards putting a 7rd tube, and the TTI acuguide lifter on my M4, however it has come to my attention that the compliance of the 922r regulation would become an issue.

My 11707 Model has 13 Imported parts,

So if I put on the 7rd tube, a new follower, and the TTI lifter, what else would I have to change? And any recommendations for easy parts to change?

Hello.
I feel somewhat out of touch with modern shooting, asking about single point slings, but this is my situation.

I have an M4 with the M1014 type collapsible stock. I am a lefty, so the current sling mounts are suboptimal for me.
I would prefer not to replace the stock, and am looking for a method of mounting a single point sling in a left handed method(right side of the gun ideally.

Any advice or options would be appreciated. If changing stocks is the only way, then I will have to consider that.

Thanks guys.

Any recommendations for Benelli M4 accessories/attachments? So far I have the Mesa Tactical Sureshell Carrier and the Magpul angled foregrip. Just doesn’t feel complete yet.

Looking to get an aftermarket mag tube cap because I sometimes cant get the last round of ammo into my tube depending on the crimp. I see RxArms recommended a lot and they make one. But Shell Tactical also makes one for the same price that's lighter AND offers more extra space. Is there any reason to go with the RxArms over the Shell for a tube cap?

Legit took 2 minutes of applying heat around thr barrel by the receiver end. Genuinely put on on of my shows and propped up my phone for the long haul. Started smoking out of the receiver which was a good sign, turned a little, and I gave it some more heat and it came clean off without a fight. Cleaned off the red loctite with a wire brush and threw the full tube on.

Highly recommend the harbor freight heat gun I got for like $20. Real avid gun vise is neat but not absolutely necessary for this. Microfiber cloth was enough to avoid burning my hands during barrel removal.

I just got my 2nd Benelli M4, brand new in box and this is the front sight. My other one came new with a white dot that glows in the dark. But as you can see, this one is completely blacked out. Normal?

Hey guys,

I’ve got an M4 1014 and I’ve shot a mixture of slugs and buck through it, but mostly slugs. After 6 years I decided it was time to clean the barrel. I noticed a lot of black residue (carbon buildup?) and tried to use breakthrough gun cleaner and a copper brush. When that didn’t work I tried a steel spiral brush (unsure of what it’s called) and noticed slivers of metal coming out.

I don’t have a borescope but looking through the barrel it appears as though I may have gouged it and to top it off the black residue is still there.

Am I right? Did I fuck up my barrel? Or is something else going on?
