MTReaper Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Okay so i need to know one thing just right now then i will ask another question. 1.Is there a Benelli M4 shotgun knock-off? Does anyone make a knock off of the Benelli M4? 2.is there a difference between the Benelli M4 and Benelli M4 Super 90 (i know stupid question), but if you please answer these question i will tell why they are so important. Thank you! Quote
tucker301 Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 I am not aware of any knockoffs. M4 and M4 Super 90 are one in the same. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benelli_M4_Super_90 Quote
MTReaper Posted January 20, 2010 Author Posted January 20, 2010 Thank you, Know i will tell you why. I live in Massachusetts, and i wanted to buy a Benelli M4 so i went to my local gun shop and i know they range from 1000.00$ to 1600.00, so i have one on order and i probably won't have it for another month or so....here is the kicker it only cost me 800.00$!!! is this possible i checked and re-checked with them and they said i am getting the real thing the ones the marines use!! It is a NEW! Benelli M4 4+1 shot, full stock, 18.5 inch barrel so its your standered Benelli M4, am i really that lucky!! They said the site they get it from it will cost them 750.00$ dollars to get this Benelli M4 and i pay shipping plus a little extra, and they were both marines. so 800.00$ is my price for a NEW! Benelli M4, please ease my worries and tell me this is a dream come true, i have the reciept and it says and order for Benelli M4 for 800.00$ and i payed down 60.00$ and he said it will be brand spanking new in the box and a true Benelli:eek: Quote
Hookster Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Hey MT, I've never heard of a price that low for a new M4 but keep us posted. At that price order a truckload and sell them on Gunbroker for double! Hookster Quote
MTReaper Posted January 20, 2010 Author Posted January 20, 2010 So guys, am i really this lucky? I mean what they said and i checked with them like three times and they all said the same thing. Am i getting a Benelli M4 for 800.00$? Quote
needncash Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 MT, I guess its possible, buy as many as they will sell you for $800.00 if thats the case. When it arrives take a look before you hand over the other $740.00. Good luck! Quote
MTReaper Posted January 20, 2010 Author Posted January 20, 2010 (edited) Thanks need, What should i look for in a real benelli M4, like the one i am getting? Anything i should look for like knock off parts or damages to parts, real markings, could you give me a list what i should look for that would help so much, i'm a nervous wreck cause this gun i have wanted for so long and now i am getting it! So if you guys could pitch in and make a list of what it whould have or shouldn't have i would be so greatful! Thank you guys alot this is my first gun i just turned 19 and have no idea what i should be looking for in a true Benelli M4, and i really want what they say i'm getting. Again thank you all very very much! Edited January 20, 2010 by MTReaper Quote
tucker301 Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 The Italian government requires that all firearms be stamped with a proof code. The code indicates the year of manufacture. This chart shows the relevant codes and the corresponding year in which it was made. Just be sure that they are getting you a Benelli M4 and not an AR15 variant. Quote
MTReaper Posted January 20, 2010 Author Posted January 20, 2010 So if i am geting a new Benelli m4 is should have CC as a mark? or a 2010 mark? Thank you guys again. Quote
cody6.0 Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 The newest ones were 2009's so they will be marked CD. Quote

MTReaper Posted January 20, 2010 Author Posted January 20, 2010 I tried looking for correct marking pictures but could not find any. Quote
MTReaper Posted January 20, 2010 Author Posted January 20, 2010 I recived a message from someone saying the only issue may be a 2 or 4 port? I don't know what that is, or what i am getting a 2 or 4. How can i find out. As i said before it is a standered M4 full stock full size 4+1 shot all black. Quote
texas skeeter Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 i couldnt see the pictures photobucket said they were deleted =( can you send me pictures that aren't deleted i am sure he didnt know they were deleted. his pics are still good. i just clicked on them in my quote/post of him above and they showed up. so im not sure what you are asking??

tucker301 Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 There used to be a low recoil version which featured 4 gas ports in the barrel. Heavy loads would put an excess of gas through the system and stress components, sometimes to point of breaking. Typically, Benelli will replace a 4 port barrel with a 2 port at no charge to the consumer. If it's a new gun, it's not likely to be a 4 port. Benelli has learned from their errors and they no longer attempt to cater to the wussies who want to shoot light loads. They can go buy something else. These are men's guns. Quote

Thank you very much tucker, is there a way to find out if its a 2 port when my benelli is shipped? Quote
