G.I.Joe Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Hi just got my benelli M4. Put it together and the collapsible stock is like James. Turns a few degrees clockwise from the rear but won’t move or go back to being straight . The button to pus in is here hard to push in any idea’s. Followed what the manual said to do,and looked at u-tube..any advice would be appreciated. Thank you Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Is this a M1014 flag edition model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangerDanger Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Odd for that model to be giving you trouble. Are you in California by any chance? The stock isn't attached to the extension at all, correct? Normally you slide the stock on to the receiver extension canted about 45 degrees to the left while holding the button in. Then you will rotate the stock 90 degrees to the right while still holding the button. Then you can slide the stock up and down the extension to the three notches. You'll see witness grooves on the extension to help you visually align them. Then you will rotate the stock 45 degrees back to the left and let go of the button. The stock should be indexed correctly with no cant at this point. Take a look beneath the plastic cheek riser to see if there is an allen head screw that enters the stock. You might be able to see it without removing the cheek riser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.I.Joe Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 The stock came already attached. Just can’t adjust it. Button hard to push in. Turned it to the right but won’t adjust. Takes two people to pull on it to move it can’t get it to go back to original position. Took the cheek plate off didn’t see any Allen head screw. Looks like a pin.

StrangerDanger Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Ok, the Allen head screw would have indicated it was one of those California models. The next step I would take is removal of the button by knocking out the roll pin that goes front to AFt on the stock. Look for signs of damage or binding or something preventing the button from being easily pushed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.I.Joe Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 THANK YOU didn’t even have to take pin all the way out, freed the button up. Works great. Thank you for your replies ,time, and Patience!!! Joe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Good deal, glad it worked. I would probably pull the button out and inspect it for any damage or try to identify what was making it hang up like that. The pin may have been thru the spring coils.
