5th US Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 What is taking so long for Benelli to make M4s? I have had mine on order for two months coming up on three. Does anyone know what Benelli's problem is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I can understand your frustration. I have had mine paid, for eight months. thirteen months seems to be avarge from what I have read. Some get lucky and get theirs sooner. I feel your pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1014 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Here,,one for each f you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FN_FAL Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Nice setup, as usual M1014. I think the problem with obtaining the M4's can be attributed, in part, to our current military missions over seas. I believe Benelli supplies part of our military w/ M4's. Since theres a war going on there is probably a higher demand than usual for the M4's. Benelli's got to supply the military first, then the civilian market IMO. We're a Class III dealer and can get our hands on just about anything, but the M4's have been on backorder for a very long time. Once they come in there's quite a list to fulfill. Many people have bought other brands becuase there sick of waiting. The FN auto loading police model is a sweet shotgun at a nice price, that we sell whenever we get them. The barell is just barely 18 inch's (maybe a little under, sshhhh don't tell the BATFE) If your looking for a semi auto the FN is by far the best buy for the money IMO. Comes standard w/ 1913 rail, ghost rings w/tritum inserts, and an extended mag, and a couple chokes. I've got one and its sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remy Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 What shotgun is the FN police model based on? It's not a Winchester 1400 is it? I can't visualize what the FN gun looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FN_FAL Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Heres a link to a picture.http://www.legendportraits.com/Images/Guns/FN_SLP.jpg The gun is based on the Winchester X2 (it has a super fast cyclic rate) which in turn is influenced by the Browning. FN owns both so thats no real shock. I've seen these guns around $700 and up to $1100. I've had one and its treated me very well. Here are the specs. • Winchester Super X2 3" magnum action • 13.5" LOP polymer stock • 18" barrel • Piccatiny rail with ghost-ring sights • black parkerized phosphate finish • 7-shot capacity • compact overall length 38 7/8" • Invector choke equipped (2 chokes supplied) • soft recoil gas-operation • 2 gas pistons supplied to tune the action to the desired load (one for less than 1 1/4" oz loads, one for 1 1/4+ loads) Its my favorite semi-auto tactical. The M3T doesn't count cause its a "convertible" otherwise that would be my (is) my favorite tactical shotgun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
