mac130 Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 If the numbers match, I'd say you have an 11707. To be sure, pull the stock off and see if you have the notched recoil tube for the retractable stock. Notched = 11707 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Remove the barrel and look down from the receiver end (of the barrel) toward the forcing cone, how many ports (small holes) do you see in the 5 and 7 O'clock positions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Cajunkraut Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Unless the label is counterfeit (highly unlikely), you have a 11707, preconfigured to accept the collapsible stock. Mine has the exact same label and markings. That said, I've never seen an 11707 with an "LE" marked receiver, only read about 'em. All 11707's come imported with the standard PG stock. At $1100 OTD, it was a fantastic deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhoffg Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 blood hound, It appears you've got a earlier 11707 that was purchased when Benelli was still selling them with the retractable stocks. The LE markings do not distinguish a 11707 from an M1014. The LE markings were orginally only used during the AWB period for law enforcement agencies but there has been a crop of LE marked receivers showing up lately and sold as standard 11707's. Benelli is probably just clearing out some old stock. The civilian model M1014 was made during the AWB period and has an American flag on the right-side of the receiver, fixed choke, and a retractable stock that would not retract due to not having the proper grooves machined into the stock guide post (per AWB). This model was also limited to 2500 units and thus become the limited edition model that people sometimes talk about here. Hope that helps. jhoffg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
