I believe 2 is correct.

It flows much smoother with transmission fluid. YMMV

I found this article and video interesting and worthwhile though it doesn't exclusively feature the BENELLI M4. Take from it what you want and yes, I read AMMOLAND daily. https://www.ammoland.com/2025/11/manual-of-arms-for-serious-shotgun-defensive-use-video/

Has anyone else seen that BENELLI has released the newest iteration, the M4 EXT. It features a 7 round factory mag tube, a 5 position C-stock and comes in 3 colors. Looks like they listened to RX-ARMS on the C-stock. https://www.ammoland.com/2025/11/benelli-unleashes-the-m4-ext-tactical-semi-auto-shotgun/

I prefer a field stock too but it depends on use. The only real advantage a pistol grip stock has IMO is being able to be held and used sideways, that's where it shines.

A search brought up this comment thread: the correct thread pitch is: M8-1x60 I hope this helps!

I use 1/2 synthetic 10-30 motor oil and 1/2 transmission fluid which makes 1/2 gallon, enough for my lifetime. Those are made to lube parts that run far hotter and faster than my BENELLI M4 ever will. IMO those tiny bottles of "gun oil" are WAY overpriced. YMMV

Is this what you're looking for? https://www.mountsplus.com/benelli-m4-barrel-clamp.html

Low round count goes with shotguns due to size and weight of the rounds, 5 + 1 is pretty average. The only real solution is keeping the gun loaded, topping off at every opportunity from spares either on your gun or body. Gun courses often emphasize practicing fire and reload drills. You can do practice drills on your own at the range or with dummy rounds at home. You may surprise yourself how quickly you pick up topping off on the fly, there are people who are amazingly fast at it. 5 + 1 also aids in keeping the gun lighter and more easily swung to acquire targets. As with anything, practice improves performance, good luck!

My BENELLI M4 cleaning mat is in and I am very happy with it. It's 47 3/4" X 13 3/4" so it's nice and wide, I opted for tan as you see. I'm going to mount it on my wall so I won't be dirtying it up; it's worth the $40 + shipping IMO.

Great find and in tan; I had to have one too!

I mount my light directly under the mag tube to avoid "barrel shadow".

What has always surprised me is that, on instllation, many people do not notice that the handle is close to the receiver. A couple of great handles I own have come off people in this forum. Robb with Rxarms (rxarms.com) in particular is a fantastic parts developer that's here.

I wish you well selling this and your BENELLI bolts in the other listing. A smart thing to do when selling items as a new member is to include, with your photos, a piece of paper showing your user name, date and asking price. This shows that you do, in fact, own the listed items. This greatly reduces the risk of fraud for buyers and increases successful sales. Again, good luck with selling your items Josh and welcome to the BENELLI forum!

Welcome to the Benelli club, great story!

The "collapsible" stock IS the 3 position stock unless there's something I don't know about.

For slings I personally like milsurp M-240 slings and have several I bought years ago when they were just $10 - $15 each. They're meant to carry a much heavier weapon and are nicely padded and fat. They are harder to find now but I'm sure there are still some lurking in surplus stores. Hope you like black because that's what they come in. BFG has sling attachments down to a science. A gun sling is a must IMO.

Do you have a limiter (wooden dowel) in there?

I do not own a 1014 but I believe they are marked a certain way though it escapes me at the moment. Your foregrip is certainly new, those have only been out a couple of years. Here is an old thread about using the serial number to date the gun: Please do keep us informed what you find. We are a friendly group and most everyone is happy to help new members.
