Always wanted one but the price point is so high. Plus the options for carbines in that range are extensive. I know shotguns are frowned upon for modern use but god damn they look cool.
|

I've always really wanted one, and I'm not really a shotgun guy.
|
|
it's on my next to buy list maybe, but i don't like the non-adjustable stock and capped mag tube
|
|
I own one, its fun to shoot. Used it in 3gun. reliable, soaks up recoil pretty well.
|
|
|
|
I wouldn't buy one because I am done buying shotguns forever.
But the Battlefield Vegas owner reports that the Benelli M4 is the one shotgun that will NOT die. |
|

I've owned 2, at different times. To me, it's an expensive novelty. I bought it as a toy and for defensive purposes, and realized my rifle weighs less, is shorter, and holds more ammunition. It's all personal preference, but those were my reasons.

The round is pretty much useless. 12g is good for chipmunks and maybe a rat; but it would probably bounce off most people.

I know you can turn an old TV into a pile of broken crap really fast with one.

Carrier comp full length tube, c stock, ava light mount with surefire, have been looking for a scalar works rmr mount and then I think it'll be done. |

Held one at my LGS and loved it. I may end up getting one. Isn't that what the Marines use? M1014 I think. What are their uses for it? Door breaching?
|

Maybe one day the USMC will retire theirs and we can get them through the CMP?

Promag makes an exact copy of a factory Benelli collapsible stock for about $120.
Get a tube for it around $75 and youre done. My m4 purchase was all that I hoped for. It can except chokes so with a plug it can perform nearly all shotgun duties. |
|
I love mine. It really rounds out my gun collection. Also, I've never trusted bears. Little, black beady eyes. You can tell they're up to something.

Quoted: $1700 for a shotgun with one barrel, no engraving, and no fancy wood isn't expensive? Since when? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes |

It's a good shotgun, Marines use it, duel rod gas operated system. If one rod breaks it'll keep running, that's the idea at least. It's a heavy shotgun though. Will cycle bird-shot barely, does better with buckshot and slugs. Not bad on the felt recoil due to it's weight. Yeah it looks pretty pimp with the collapsible stock.

View Quote I've never had a failure to cycle with birdshot. Shot a few boxes screwing around breaking clays. Did pretty well, plus less frequent reloads. I do clean and lube but its soft recoil makes it fun for people who want to try a "tactical" shotgun. |

I added 3 parts, the tube cost more than the other. |

Save yourself a few hundred bucks (at least) and buy an M2, M3, or a gas gun like the FN or Remington. The M4 is nothing special.
Or, you know, just buy a rifle if you want the best tool for the job. |

I hate to say it, I love American made products, but they are worth it. I've owned several different semi auto's. Both Remington's and Mossberg's, hands down for out of the box gun the M4 outclasses everything I've ever owned.
No issues to report, I have close to 1500 rounds through mine. Look in to an M2 if you're not a dedicated shotgun guy, they're are cheaper and run just as good. I know this because I own one, recoil is a little stiffer but whatever you're a man right? |

I bought the 'field stock' version of the M4. I am not a fan of the pistol grip...
The weapon is a pleasure to shoot. Can you buy a cheaper weapon that looks the same? Yes. Can you buy a cheaper weapon that works the same? No. |
