Do any you guys know a websites to get a non-camo field barrel for an mid 90s M1S90? I looked at Impact, CalsSporting and GA. Any suggestions would be appreciated

Has anyone heard if Benelli is planning on making sporting/field barrels (24", 26" 28", or 30") for the M1014 & M4?

M1014 glad to see somethings haven't changed (you show off) since I was last here.

No I haven't tried switching barrels yet. I have an older M1 and the customer service rep said I would also have to change the forearm grip to accomadate the new barrels.

You should be able to. I asked this same question about my M1 and was told I could. Shoot customer service an email or call them and double check.

I've shot the Remingtons from Wal Mart and they work just fine. I could care less if the sales staff knows anything as long as I can get a good deal on what I want.

I believe Beretta owns Benelli. That may be the M4 under the Beretta badge. Whatever it is the handgrip looks completely different and doesn't look to comfortable to hold.

Early Warning System, that would probably be the tip of the iceburg.

I would lie to see the weapons shown on my table.

Nice looking guns.

I doubt they will. I would be happy if they posted the letter on their website.

Either two guns or one gun with two barrels will work. If you just shoot to have fun you can get the tactical gun and still shoot skeet. You probably won't be any good. I shot 3 rounds with my 1014 and 1 with my M1 Tactical yesterday, 9 out of 25 was my best. I had fun though, my buddy put his 18" barrel on and it became a short barrel shoot out. I wouldn't recommend that short a barrel for sporting clays or trap though.

Looks like an overly complicated trap gun.

Is this a dead issue because of this statement"Legal under Federal law, check with your state and local laws before purchasing"? http://www.benelliusa.com/firearms/m4.tpl Has anyone actually heard a "Yes" from Benelli? I apologize to those of your that are tired of seeing a "Dead Horse" beat, but I want to make sure I'm legal before I go the collapsable stock route.

Nice looking gun. What does an EOTECH run?

I have the 2004 catalogue and the statement, "Legal under Federal law, check your state and local laws before purchasing." wasn't there. I can't imagine they would say that if it was still being worked. Is it so hard for Benelli to say yes we worked it out?

Clarification would be nice.

I've experienced deafening silence from them when I emailled them with some questions. Hopefully they are updating the website and mailling out catalogues.

Do guys think it will have the comfortech stock with pistol grip?

Weren't you the one that saw it in a dealers catalogue? I believe the topic was: Is the M1 line being discontinued for 2005? http://www.benelliusa.com/forums/ultimatebb.php/topic/1/1270.html Can you provide us with a description. Anything to wet the appetite.

I would contact Benelli customer service and ask them. http://www.benelliusa.com/customer-service/contact.tpl I would think all of the chokes would be the same. If the chokes are an inch shorter I would definitely believe they don't go to the gun you have.

Scott I've never seen one. I'm curious if there is some kind of barrel in the shell for the pistol round to put a spin on the round. If it didn't have a barrel there is no way I would shoot it in my shotgun. I would be afraid of it tumbling and messing my barrel up.

Stevenb it sure sounds like you are having some terrible luck. I hope when I finally get brave enough to face the cold I don't have your problems. Please keep us up to date on the issue.

I agree with you M1014, Benelli isn't going to issue a statement. Until BATF changes the law their hands are tied. I find it crazy that it only applies to imported shotguns, to bad Benelli just couldn't open up a manufacturing facility here in the US, of course the prices would go up.

Thanks, I think I have asked customer service this question a few times and am still waiting for an answer. Hopefully they are spending the time updating the 2005 catalogue. Can't wait to see the M2 Tactical.
