as with anyone who wants to purchase this Italian beast and make upgrades, PLEASE!!! Get an extended mag tube!!! Go get what the LE gets!!! It's the most crucial thing to have when it comes to these shotguns. Everything else just just secondary.
Thanks for watching and your comments! Absolutely, it's pretty worthless without removing the stock mag tube extension and putting on one that gives you the extra capacity.
@@docgsreloading7985 I swear they secured that 5 round mag tube with Red Loctite specifically to punish us for making them neuter their beautiful machine.
@@RighteousJ After reading horror stories I was prepared for a battle yesterday but mine came off easily in about 3 minutes using a heat gun set at 640 degrees. I saw very little locktite residue on the threads so maybe I just got lucky that they did not gob it on.
@dane6506 the same thing happened to me, I just had no idea what temp settings to use, so I ended up sitting there for 30 minutes with the stock in a vise, starting with 300 and increasing to 1100 gradually. By the time I got to 1100, it was still tough to unscrew it by hand but I got it done. Like you, no residue though. By the way, I don't know what else you're planning to do to it, but i put a 15" MLOK forend on mine because I wanted a light; that length let me place the light so far forward that there's no barrel shadow at all, and also gave me the option of installing a decent angled grip with perfect placement for the light's activation pad.
Thanks for watching and your comments! Almost all the accessories I get for any of my shotguns comes from GG&G. Check them out here: www.gggaz.com/benelli-m4-accessories.html That's where I got the charging handle and bolt release for my M4.
@@supreme_sergio7742 Thanks for your question. Yes, Briley has trigger shoes that fit on my Beretta A300 and I got one for my Benelli M4 and both fit perfectly. Per the Briley website: For the Beretta it fits: 303, 390, 3901, 391, A300, A400 and for the Benelli & Franchi: Benelli Semi-Automatics (does not fit Ethos), and only Pre 2023 M2 models. Franchi Affinity, Intensity, I-12.
Thanks for watching and your question! Yes, it is the Roth and I love it! It was relatively easy to install and it's no longer painful to actuate the safety. The old button made my fingers sore in just a short period of time, and with this button, there isn't any issues. Plus, it's just easier to see the red stripe and know the status. I highly recommend this upgrade for the M4.
My M4 is the LE model 😊 on the Velcro backer that glues to the receiver, is there any sign of give or peeling off from repeated removal of the shell cards?
Thanks for watching and your question! I've pulled those cards off at least 100 times so far and not only has the velcro on the receiver not moved or peeled back, it's still in just about brand-new condition.
Thanks for watching! What I used to make the holes for the pins on the side of the receiver, were the punches I have that came with a brass grommet set that I got at my local hardware store. I have those brass grommets in several different sizes, so I have the punches that go with those sizes and just used the ones that gave me the hole size I needed. You could also get those kind of punches from a store that has crafting supplies (Hobby Lobby, etc.).
I have a question I just bought some Winchester Super X upland game 2 3/4 inch , 1290 FPS 1oz 8oz shotgun shells . Are these good for target practice for a Benelli M1014
Wow, I'd say at 1290 FPS, that should work very well in any semi auto--it may be a little too much on the recoil though. I use the Federal 2 3/4" with #8 shot at 1200 fps and those are comfortable, the recoil doesn't limit my follow-up shots, and they cycle in every semiauto shotgun I have. It doesn't sound like much, but I'd bet that the extra 90 FPS is going to give you significantly more recoil. Just my take on it, I'd like to hear what others have to say.
Thanks for watching and your question! Here's the link: www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/prod/si-bm4-hayl-rail I don't think it came in FDE when I ordered mine--I maybe would have purchased that color.
Yeah, I know it's not a rivet--I just misspoke, so thanks for the microscopic review of my diction. Anyway, my aluminum saddle also left marks on the FDE finish on the upper part of the receiver. So I'd rather peel back adhesive or use acetone to do it and that won't ever leave any marks. The ones left by my aluminum carrier are permanent. You might want to take yours off and see what it's done to your finish.
@@Cameraflyer- Yeah, nice try. Nope, mine was actually installed exactly per the manufacturer and even with the rubber insert, sand gets in there and rubs over time. Whatever, you use what you want to use, and I'll use what I want. Thanks.
So Ashley upgraded his double barrel shotgun to a benelli. Nice.
Where did you get the grip M rail
The Wolff trigger spring group is another good upgrade which will fix the garbage oem trigger pull.
Not that important on a scatter gun in my opinion
@@nathandevine552100% this save money buy ammo
They don't make it for this model, only the M1,M2, Cordoba, Montefeltro, and Super Black Eagle.

I'll have to get some of those Esstac cards for my Tavor TS12! Oh, and it's the distal interphalangeal joint (or DIP as it's known). 😆🤣

@@docgsreloading7985 That's your own fault. My aluminum side saddle came with a rubber insert so the aluminum doesn't touch the body of the shotgun.
