Its to attach the side saddle, and its proven to cause issues in other guns.

I see a crossbolt going through a receiver. This is a no no in my book. You could be pinching the receiver or distorting it in a way that is causing retardation of the carrier's movement. I am not sure this is the problem, but when someone has an issue with a gun as proven as the M1014, and it's not in factory configuration, I opt to return it to such, operationally, before further diagnosis. Further, the mag tube/spring comment above is very on point, as well.

The IWC mount does include the screws. I’m running a Surefire M600DF with the IWC mount. I unscrewed the M600DF from the factory Surefire picatinny mount and, using the screws supplied with the IWC mount, loctited and screwed it on the IWC mount. Super easy and a great solution I’m very happy with.

Doge, are you going to produce another run? I see you're sold out. I snoozed, I loozed.

If you buy a Surefire (not pro), Modlight or Cloud Rein they will have the "scout" interface. You can also use after market light bodies that have a scout mount. IWC, Arisaka I think, maybe others. Your IWC light mount should already have the mounting screws I believe.

I've made a few of these tools available that's pretty useful if you swap out recoil springs often. https://dogedesign.squarespace.com/shop/p/driver16mm

Regal Metal Works has their 6 position recoil tube now available in case anyone is interested but there are only 4 left from this batch. https://regalmetalworks.com/product/benelli-m4-m1014-6-position-recoil-tube-new-release/

Since we're swapping mag tube stories....when I removed the 5 round tube from my H2O it came off using only a hair dryer to heat. But obviously it had been taken off before when Robar plated the whole gun. it had some kind of thread locker on it but don't know what they used. Then I installed a FFT 7 round tube and I used a lot of blue loctite. When I again changed out the FFT tube for a CC ti tube I had to use a heat gun but it came off easily with that- a few minutes. I installed the CC tube without any loctite at all because I find it easier and more accessible to clean the receiver with the tube removed.?

This exactly.

The 11703 I just got was the exact same story. Reasonable heat resulted in a little movement, lots of heat and it would start to turn and then bind up. Eventually came off and the threads looked like a candy apple.

The mag tube on my 1014 came part pretty easy within a few minutes with the heat gun. The recoil tube removal took a bit longer. There was some smoke when heating the lock nut but not bad. Locktite was lighter than I had expected. I had to chuckle afterward because I must have read through SD's procedure a dozen times, studied YouTubes and meditated on it for several weeks to build up the courage to go for it.

Sounds like you were heating the tube as well? Heating the receiver I heard little clicks as the locktite was separating. But yeah, I’ve only done it once so what do I know. I’m sure results may vary

Numrich has some of those parts available. Not the tube itself but the internals of the tube. https://www.gunpartscorp.com/gun-manufacturer/benelli/shotguns-benelli/semi-auto-shotguns/m4-super-90

I did the same with a Dremel. Just ground a lip from the end into the groove. Small enough to slip a small screwdriver and pop out the ring. Easy to reinstall/reuse the tube.

No got them from an authorized Benelli distributor here in the Philippines. My wife thinks they were a great buy at US$500 each, he he he Unfortunately i do not know what the gun part numbers are, you can get more information about them on the Benelli Defense website. http://www.benellidefense.it/products
