Sukhoi_fan Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I see, you have a recent production M1014, that explains it. Apparently all recently produced M4 and M1014 shotguns have the plastic trigger housing. I wasn't even aware Benelli was still making the M1014, somehow I was under the impression it was discontinued. Shows how much I keep up with current products. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Yep, Benelli did another run of the M1014’s. They don’t have the specific serial range like the first run. The current production units have the polymer trigger packs. Which is fine, the aluminum set trigger packs were rather rough. They had lots of impurity pitting, and rough cast marks like a Colt AR15 receiver. The A&S Engineering trigger frames are better across the board in fit and finish. Plus scoring you a US made part.

StrangerDanger Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) Yep! Counts as the Trigger Housing. It’s salad days for the M4 when it comes to compliance parts.

rodinal220 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I recently saw these (M1014) at a big box store. When did they start adding the collapsible stock from the factory?? I take it Benelli is adding USA made parts to make this 922r compliant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those 'collapsible' stocks on the civilian M1014 are not collapsible, strictly for looks, it's essentially a fixed stock that appears collapsible. The recoil tube lacks the notches for it to telescope in and out. Edited May 7, 2019 by Sukhoi_fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it is possible to replace the receiver extension with an appropriate one that will make the stock function as it should. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I failed to mention that it's possible to remedy that and you're the go to guy to get that done competently without ruining the receiver. Sorry 'bout that.

StrangerDanger Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 No worries! It's easier to get apart these days then in the past. You'd have to really try hard to do any damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
