Rescue14 Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Can anyone explain the differences between the non-collapsible M4 and the M1014? Especially the overall length difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacman Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 The 1014 has a thick military barrel (thicker than the M4, I believe) and no interchangeable chokes are used or available. One size fits all, including slugs. The M1014 barrel more closely replicates the military gun in use than the M4, except of course civilians are not allowed the collapsible stock. It also is a limited edition run (2500) designated by the laser-etched American Flag on the receiver. The M4 is basically the same gun in a larger production run but uses interchangeable chokes in a thinner-walled barrel, something unlikely to be used in a tactical military environment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacman Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 BTW, by all reports, the lengths are the same for the M4 and M1014. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skunkabilly Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Too bad, I was hoping it would be the same thing (minus stock dingus) on the civilian version. I don't need choke tubes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s thinner towards the front of the barrel to accommodate the removable chokes. Otherwise it’s the same barrel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M2_shootr Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I bought the m1014 mainly because of the embossed US Flag 🇺🇸 I have since changed the stock tube, allowing for the collapsible function Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMilitaryPolice Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 id like a M1014 but my 11707 threaded for chokes comes in very handy when exterminating the coyotes. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see that. I generally use a rifle for coyotes. Are you generally urban or are they getting that close? I pick them off across a field at 100-150 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
