No, just like Fullassault said. The USMC received the M1014 in a semi-auto only configuration and it stays that way. Now, when the NFA gets overthrown, there will be a small demand for an aftermarket selector switch. I'm sure some company would make a few bucks selling a retrofit, but I don't imagine it would be a big seller.

https://freedomfightertactical.com/products/70124-benelli-m4-oem-5-round-commercial-magazine-tube One just sold on ebay for $95. This place is out of stock: https://www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/prod/70124 I could sell you one for $60 and shipping. I still have one from what I switched to the full length tube.

Would you be interested in trading barrels?

I've been unable to reproduce this issue. After thinking about it, I suspect the most likely reason would be the OP actually having the stock in the disassembly position instead of a middle position. I've read that there are 2 position stock tubes out there. A discussion here said that Numrich was selling 2 position recoil spring tubes: https://forums.benelliusa.com/topic/7390-usmc-m1014-stock-2-or-3-position/ If they have a 2 position tube, they might be mistaking having the stock near the middle as the middle position. I had wondered if they had possible been pressing the adjustment button with their cheek when shooting, but even if they had the stock would be more likely to rotate the other direction. I also think it would be more likely to happen with the stock completely closed.

I hear there was a switch from a cast aluminum trigger housing to a plastic housing.

Try pulling a little harder. I recently purchased a new Benelli M4 and the removing the charging handle the first time was much stiffer than I expected.

I can't quite snug up the stock with the bolt that came with it. Unfortunately, the other bolts I have on hand are slightly too short.

Thank you for letting me know. I was thinking about buying a whole Turkish shotgun to get the wood furniture off it.

Heh, I'm in the opposite boat. I have a gun that has the replaceable chokes, and I would rather have the fixed choke model. Back when I used to have a M1014 model, I fired slugs with out any issue. Still, your mileage may vary.

I know this is an old thread, but I feel the need to point out that Militec-1 is not recommended for use as a lubricant by the military and did not pass military testing and evaluation. Here is one government report on the failures of miltec-1 https://www.gao.gov/assets/gao-09-735r.pdf Here is a quote: On an unrelated note. Benelli's Ben-Oil appears to be rebranded MF-82. On their site they point out that they are Benelli's supplier. https://www.mf82.it/en
