Benelli M4 question

RaVis · Jul 10, 2011

A google and history search didn't provide a solid answer. Is the Benelli M4 considered a regulated firearm within Maryland? Seems to be a fine line for the 922r compliance. Will changing to a collapsible stock and putting a full length magazine make it even more so?

Thanks for any feedback.

:thumbsup:

And no, it's not regulated.

Regarding 922r - I believe if you ensure that the parts that you add that alters it from its original 922r compliant condition are made in the US, you should be okay, but I haven't done a whole lot of research into the M4 specifically.

Well... that sums it up nicely. Thanks much!

No, the M4 is not regulated. As to 922r compliance, as I understand it, in pistol grip form you cannot have an extended magazine and collapsable stock on an imported shotgun. However Carriercomp sells mag tubes & US-made hammer (Geissele) that will make your collapsable-stock equipped M4 922r compliant.

And having had an M4 now for the past several years, I can tell you it is a SUPERB shotgun!

My M4 is awesome. It makes other shotguns jealous of how cool it is.

how about posting some pics of said m4?

Apex, Echo - where did you find yours? I've been looking for a while with no success.

I purchased mine at Barts Sports World in Glen Burnie back in 2007 shortly after they came out. They have them in from time to time. I've seem them at Gun Rack in Laurel recently as well as White Marsh Arms in Reisterstown along with The Armory in Annapolis. Call around, they are out there. Check to see if they are the 11707 which has the collapsable stock or the M1014 which does not.

I had no problems buying mine here in MD.

I'd love some input on some other stuff from the rest of the M4 owners. Sling, case, and home defense ammo choices? I'd like a sling that had the option of extra shell storage but doesn't require any real mod to install. In a case I like roomy and water proof that floats. Regarding ammo, a gunsmith told me heavy loads are required, but what have you found that you love? Of course there are many choices. I've done several searches online but can't seem to get my entire wishlist. Maybe you all have had better luck.

I just saw the preview for next Top Shot - they'll feature the M4. It'll be fun to see that gun in action.

Weren't pistol grips deemed a non-evil feature on shotguns recently?

Isn't it extremely expensive if not impossible to get the authentic benelli collapsible stock (the one in this picture)?

$500 plus if you can find one. You'll see them on gunbroker here and there.

The M4 is a premier shotgun but the ones I have shot and been around are picky when it comes to ammo so expect to buy better ammo.

Wal-Mart buk pack stuff probably won't fly

My benelli m4 eats anything, even cheap stuff.

tzoid · Aug 25, 2011

Is your M4 a 18" Tactical ? just curious because another member here couldn't get his to eat anything but the good stuff. And I was there so I'm not repeating what I read on the internet.

I swear...

I agree. Heavy stuff or go home for the M4

Echo Victor · Aug 26, 2011

Yep, its an 18" tactical. It does cycle a little slower with some ammo but I've never experienced any malfunctions with it.

slugs, 00 buck, #7 shot, #8 shot from various makers.

If you guys are looking for Benelli m4's with collapsible stocks, this guy might be able to give you a good price on one...

Pretty sure he got these from the "free gun section" at the Qaddafi pad.

They have two M4's at Bass Pro in Arundel Mills....$1650. Better hurry....
