kendal Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I did not know this model came this way, but I saw one at my local dealer for sale. Had the flag and 1014 as part of the Serial number. I thought that the 11707 was the only one that shipped from factory with the tube that could collapse. I tried it and it did collapse down. They also had a M2 tactical there, was lighter than the M4 but did not seem to be as solid and the finish was not that great.

M4Madness Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 If it collapsed down, then someone had it machined to do so, as Benelli never shipped any of the 11701's with the working recoil tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendal Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 I did not think this was the case but this is a gun from a big box sporting goods chain not a local gun dealer. The guy stated this is a new gun as they dont take trades they only deal in new gun sales. Anyway I thought it was strange as this one was not as I understood them to be.

wingbone Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 you know I have had more than one person swear up and down that Benelli did put out some 1014's that the recoil tube did allow stock to collapse... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingbone Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 and Kendal, get some pictures from here on how the factory M4 tube looks then if the 1014 you looked at looks the same then I suggest you buy it..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was it still doing on their shelf 3 1/2 years after it was made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
