mosley128 Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 Ok, so I just left our local gun store here in town, and they had a Benelli M4 for sale. I've been looking for one for a couple years now, but no one seems to be able to get them in stock. They're asking $1500 for it, and it has a fixed stock and (I believe) a five round tube. He said it did NOT have the extension on it, so it only holds a few shells. My questions are these: Is this a good buy? Will I be able to purchase and attach a collapsible stock after-market, and will I be able to extend the tube to hold more shells? I'm extremely new to shotguns, but have used the M4 a little when deployed overseas with the Marine Corps, so I'm wanting to make it as "military" as possible. Any help will be appreciated! Quote
sneakerfreak602 Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 It is pretty comproable to prices in my area. If you have a Cabela's sometime you can get one for 1399. You can get an factory extension or aftermarket full length tube online.IMHO M4 is the best shotgun.If the model is 11707 it will accept the collapsible stock although they cost an arm and a leg.

mosley128 Posted November 20, 2009 Author Posted November 20, 2009 Excuse my ignorance, but what is the difference between a 11707 and an IMHO? What is an easy way to tell the difference? Quote

IMHO means in my honest opinion.I love my M4. 11707 is the model # that accepts the stock and has a milled recoil tube . Quote
mosley128 Posted November 20, 2009 Author Posted November 20, 2009 Ahh... Well I'm more than a little embarrased. Thanks for the help Quote
Unobtanium Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Buy it and sell me the OEM PG stock for $140 and put that towards a collapsible : ) Quote

taylaboy Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Yes, its a good buy. I got mine last year for 1650, but have put at least another $600 in Mod's on it to make it "Serviceable." I would buy it now, then get the Collapsable stock later. I would do it Devil Dog. Semper. Quote

taylaboy Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 it wasnt 1600. It was around 600. Kips Tube: $200 Surefire Rail: $230 GG&G Bolt Release: $120 GG&G Enlarged Charging Handle" $35 (I think) The Accessories added up a bit too. I got the Soft Carrying Case from Benelli which I think was another $100, and a Tactical 3 point Sling from Urban Sentry for another $75 or so. It was all worth it. Quote
taylaboy Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 that should have been a 2 point sling. Excuse me sir. Quote
garnok Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 I have a Benelli M4 11707 that was purchased a little over three years ago for close to $1,700. Still looks brand new and has the two position recoil tube and collapsible stock. Also accessories like halo sights, flashlight, foregrip. Have full length choke tube but not attached. All fits in a pelican case. Could part with it for fair price. I am new to this forum but will post some pictures when I figure out how. I also called four gunshops today located in Kentucky, Idaho, California and Texas. None of them had m4's in stock and said they were months out. I was typically quoted around $1,700. Is Benelli having a hard time keeping up with supplying our soldiers our as civilian demand gone up as well? Quote

I would buy that by itself, been looking for one. Also, what is this full length choke tube you speak of? Quote

garnok Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 (edited) I am going to keep it. Probably put it on my 1014 limited edition and sell the collapsible stock. Looks like the stocks will soon be worth as much as the guns. The mag tube is 18.25 inches from tip to tip. Not sure how much trouble it is to install it or how much trouble I can be in for doing so.

Not sure how much trouble it is to install it or how much trouble I can be in for doing so. Keep the collapsible and sell the PG stock (to me!). The collapsible--as you have noted--will continue to accrue value. When Mesa comes out with their Urbino fixed stock with better length-of pull and optional sling hardpoint early next year, your PG stock will be all but worthless. Part with it now, while I am offering top-dollar! Quote
Steve1968LS2 Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 M4s sell here for just a touch over $1500 so the price isn't special.. but it's not bad either. You can easily add an extended mag (I just ordered the Titanium one) If you can afford it then you can get the collapsable stock.. I will have one for sale soon. Good luck and you'll love the M4 Quote
tinman1975 Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 (edited) http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=147164890 I dont know what tax is in your area...but this could be a couple hundred bucks cheaper. If you arent in a big rush....i see these go on gunbroker for 1350-1450 all the time. If you even think you might buy one of these shotguns ...I would order one of kip's titanium tubes now. they take a while to get to you, but are worth the wait. Then, if you dont decide to buy the gun, you could turn around and sell the tube for exactly what you paid for it to somebody who doesnt want to wait while theirs is on order.

Guest Impaigup73 Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 I believe there will be some versions of masks or a windshield in the future maybe not from Benelli but from "tuning dealers" like or something like that Quote
