Tango two Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 What's the usual state of a brand new M4 when purchased from most online dealers? Assembled or not? Is one way "better" than the other? Quote
hattles Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 (edited) What's the usual state of a brand new M4 when purchased from most online dealers? Assembled or not? Is one way "better" than the other? New inbox Benelli M4's comes disassembled - in a box per all Benelli's. Two basic assemblies, buttstock/receiver/mag tube + barrel + accessories. Generally speaking, almost all shotguns come this way. Edited February 20, 2011 by hattles Quote

twowheelhooligan Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Tango, If purchasing from an online store, I think asking for a "factory sealed" box is somewhat unreasonable. I don't know how all gunstores, do their business, so I won't speak for them. I've always moonlighted at smaller stores. I always confirm the S/N on the box, AND the firearm, AND the invoice from the distributor. To do that, one needs to break the seal. I'm guessing a place like Dick's, Gander, Cabelas doesn't check each and every, but like I said, GUESSING on them. If it still has gobs and GOBS of oozing oil, and that "new Benelli smell" you're good to go. Enjoy! 2-wheel Quote
azmaxfan Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 I just received last week my M4 from Sportsman's Finest in Austin, TX and it came completely assembled (wrapped in bubble wrap) with the warranty card, manual and small oil bottle in the Benelli box.They placed the Benelli box in another box. M4 appears tobe brand spankin' new and I'm happy that I don;'t have to assemble it. My only question which I hope to get answered in the moring is should it have come with a choke tool? Quote
Tango two Posted February 21, 2011 Author Posted February 21, 2011 Hattles,twowheelhooligan and azmaxfan,thanks for the input. I am grateful. Quote

Super33 Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 My only question which I hope to get answered in the moring is should it have come with a choke tool? Yes. Mine did. I wonder if they sent you a floor (display) model. Quote
chuck_s Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 These are shipped -- disassembled -- to the dealer in the factory box (as noted above). Choke tool is required and included (choke should be removed from time to time for cleaning). When I bought mine they opened the box, assembled it, let me fondle it while making my decision after which they asked me if I wanted it back in the box (which I did). They verified the serial number during that time. -- Chuck Quote
