There were two releases of the flag edition model M1014. The first release around 2002 was limited to 2500 shotguns. It came with a collapsible stock that had philips head screws in the cheek riser. The collapsible stock does not function because the receiver extension is neutered and doesn't have the correct notches for the stock to function. This older model indicated in its serial number what gun it was of the 2500. Example, you could have gun 0666. This earlier model came with an aluminum trigger frame and the barrel does not have a removable choke. The seating ring and handguards are slightly different as well. This seat ring is where the barrel seats against the face of the receiver. New production flag edition M1014's is not a limited run. It doesn't have a special serial number, so it'll just be a jumble of numbers and letters. The collapsible stock doesn't function, but the screws have been changed to allen head screws. The trigger frame is the new polymer style. The barrel now has the larger seat ring where it meets the receiver. The barrel is not threaded for chokes. There are about a dozen other Benelli M4 models. Some just designate a color change or if it was meant for law enforcement. They're all generally the same though. These regular M4's usually come with a fixed stock. These units have the correct receiver extension, so adding a collapsible stock it it will function without any modifications. As with all used guns, the more information you can find about it, the better. Especially if you can get what aftermarket modifications have been done.
