shojus Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Finally brought my Benelli M4 home from layaway and it's beautiful! I quickly installed the collapsible stock that I purchased long ago and a +2 adapter, as well as an extended charging handle. My only issue is with the import/Benelli etchings/engravings that are on the opposite side of the serial number on the receiver, right above the trigger. They appear to have been VERY poorly done, like you can't even tell what the markings say unless you already know what they are supposed to show. Just curious is anyone else's like this, or if you can post a pic of what the engravings are supposed to look like? Maybe they are supposed to look like that, just find it odd they are almost non visible, almost like it wasn't engraved deep enough into the receiver... Thanks in advance for the help!

shojus Posted March 30, 2021 Author Share Posted March 30, 2021 From the research I have done, this looks to be standard. So I'm not really worried about it, just was wondering is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel79 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 It won’t affect function or value. Shoot it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zipperhead Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Looks like mine. Per this https://www.gunvaluesboard.com/italian-date-codes-up-to-2017-14188.html those stamps are made by the National Proof House. Not by Benelli. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. 6 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Sold! I'll send you either a check (whatever the heck that is) or your favorite board game based on money and property monetary units (aka Monopoly Money). Let me know.... ☺️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
