Benelli M4 LE Tactical ( 11732 11733 11714 and Similar ) General Features

[@Carnaln8ure]

Thanks for showing that trick. I just ordered one and would not have know otherwise.

[@AB-308]

Thanks for the video. Was wondering about that hand guard and mounting options. This is the only video I’ve found to definitively explain. My 11733 is en route

[@buttermilkswagreal]

Glad that video helped out!

[@jmf2379]

Thank you for the video. I have the same model. It threw me off when reassembling. I ended up cranking down onto the cap and it seemed to do the job. It seemed the barrel was all the way in and everything else was relatively flush (not perfect). I went to search for a video/information to ensure I wasn't missing something and assembling it properly. I appreciate it.

[@jamesjams5085]

I used an 18 inch mesa tactical forend after $180 spent I had to go back to the original plastic Foregrip. I have to agree with TFD TV that nothing will test your accessories like a Benelli M4. It’s great if it comes like that out of the factory and there’s no issues of things rattling loose. The original version has the test of time behind it. It looks great and I hope it works. I went through freedom, fighter, tactical for all of my modifications, and a few GG&G parts My mesa tactical 18 inch Ford grip rattled loose after only a couple hundred rounds. Best of luck to you, my friend. God forbid you have to use The customer service from Beretta because it’s the worse than abysmal. With that all said I love my M4. ✌🏼

[@TuscanyFTX]

I just called them about getting the qd points for the stock that didn’t come with mine. They’re sending them for free. Seems mighty white of them imo.

[@sean8039]

Mesa tactical fixed the issue with the saddle. I just received mine and it fits perfectly

[@Bubba_Fett_]

thx, cool video man, the hand guard is a huge win imo; items to wrap my thumb over when gripping and often get a toasty thumb after 15+ rounds. Gen2 is a littler heavier in the front but that is OK for me. Mag upgrade from factory is much nicer; and it’s VERY tough to find a Gen1 5-slot adjustment now days. larger buttons - sooo awesome! that Benelli “m-link” system i think they call it is quirky, but works

[@johnneill5960]

Yeh , I’m getting this now . This is the model I’ve been waiting on , I hated the old forend and collapsible stock ( the way you had to twist it ) this one is perfect stock

[@raulbaltierrez9926]

Don’t be afraid of changing out the forend, I installed a Strike Industry forend and it is m-lok compatible

[@mikehudgins5764]

This was a great review, much appreciated! Any chance you could do a short one showing the iron sights in low light? Thx

[@filtonkingswood]

Just bought an M4 A1 and expensive though it is its worth the coin. I was surprised how heavy it is.

[@MD-mm1zv]

Looks like Benelli is following LWRCI's lead with the propriety handrail. Same attachment philosophy. Looks cool; works great.

[@brandonchandler9032]

I got this one too. I too do wish there were videos out on it. I'm glad i ran across this video i got the 8 round mesa tactical side saddle and i guess I'll be selling it off since it won't fit. Haven't put it on but no need to try if you already discovered it won't fit.

[@buttermilkswagreal]

Glad the video helped out! Yeah, I was watching tv while trying to screw the side saddle in. I realized what the problem was after 10 mins of mindlessly screwing unsuccessfully. 😂

[@MrLew1965]

Will the original Plastic M4 hand guards fit in place of that New T pro Rail system ??

[@chrisharris9710]

Fairly sure those models are modified post import. The pesky 922r law keeps Benelli from shipping M4s with collapsible stocks and 7 round tubes. That’s why you see the bulge in the tube, it’s from the addition of a tube extension. The forend is not a stock Benelli part from Italy, it’s going to be made in the US. More than likely the trigger, hammer, and disconnector is US made as well.

[@TuscanyFTX]

Negative. These are the LEO/MIL variants. Once they’re imported the dealer can sell to who they want. 922r only pertains to neutered versions being imported as such.

[@SHUB281]

Great video. LE model is the way to go. Ordered the H20 after seeing this.

[@buttermilkswagreal]

Glad this video helped out. You're gonna have a lot of fun with that thing.

[@SHUB281]

@buttermilkswag yeah I got a 1301 a year ago but been looking at the M4 for awhile. Didn't realize the LE was even available for us pleebs. Lol

[@SHUB281]

@buttermilkswag did yours come assembled in box ?

[@buttermilkswagreal]

@@SHUB281 No, you're gonna have to assemble it. 😅The shop on gunbroker I was going to buy from happened to be in the next town over. So I just hopped over there and bought in person. They were nice enough to assemble it while the background check was running.

[@AB-308]

@@SHUB281 the assembly isn't difficult, or long - and actually aids, though not completely, in learning how to field strip for cleaning later.

[@RC-wh4xr]

My 11733 came with an aluminum eight round side-saddle.

[@seniorp9444]

Benelli sells an LE version with a 7 round tube. That one has a 5 round tube with the 2 round extension that most people add. Kinda weak coming from benelli with the extension when they could have just put a real 7 round on it. The bolt release is a nice upgrade, not sold on the hand guard.

[@MrSmith-nu7qf]

Thanks for the vid...just got my 11733...nowhere in the manual, or on you tube is there any info on how to disassemble the charging handle on initial assembly. They are so dry and tight from the factory. Took it to local gun shop and it took them 20 mins to get it off. For anyone else having that problem, use a punch on the opposite side of the charging handle and punch the pin in. It's crazy tight. I'm a big guy and couldn't get it to budge. Happy blasting!

[@5thcrx]

13:56 is a QD point once you remove the rubber cap. I have the same shotgun.

[@lambchop6210]

How did you remove it? Mine seems to be a solid plastic disk in there.

[@BagsEsquire]

Got this exact model a few weeks ago. Absolutely love it. Only slight disappointment was I thought the handguard was MLOK as well. So easy to disassemble and clean this bad boy and an absolute joy to shoot. I like the oversized controls but prefer Freedom Fighters Tactical charging handle so ended up switching that out. At least I have a spare now lol. I think I also prefer the square bolt release from TT so I ordered that. Good to hear about Mesa Tactical working on a model to fit the LE.

[@MrLew1965]

Can you swap out the original Plastic M4 Handles in place of this New T Pro Rail system ?? TY

[@TuscanyFTX]

M-Loc attachments will work on this hand guard. You just have to take off the little locating nubs on the back of the attachment and use countersunk screws with loctite so the counter sunk head centers the attachment up on the rail and loctite keeps it secured In place after torquing down.

[@TuscanyFTX]

@@MrLew1965yes.

[@mtiger5]

Nice shotgun , i personally am impartial to my traditional skeleton stock on my m4 .those esstac shell holders are awesome

[@DarinMullins]

❤ can you take out the hand guard springs to make it fit flush ?

[@buttermilkswagreal]

Where I say "rail" in this video, I probably meant handguard. Sorry about that! 😅 1:57 might be a tube extension. Which is weird because this would mean it would be modified from Benelli. But it might be a way to get around the import restriction. Import the tube as a 5 rounder and modify it later. I'm not sure though. I'm just conjecturing.

[@TuscanyFTX]

Negative. They’re imported under MIL/LEO use then sold on the open market to civilians.

[@smokingbeetles5793]

Comes with complimentery Weaver bits. So make sure attachments fit weaver and not picatini.

[@grindleia]

The mesa tactical shell holder works just fine, it just doesn't index with the rail like the stock one. It's secure though, and doesn't move around.

[@Smokkedandslammed]

This is the only M4 I've liked, this one actually looks cool lol

[@kenmueller1466]

Do you like the tape switch? Any problems with it? Or would the IWC Mount still be better.

[@LosDoyerss]

Why has no one made a good polymer mlok handguard for the M4 yet!!?

[@vik12D]

I wonder if that bulge is to help indicate its U.S. made, 922r compliant? I'd be interested in swapping some gen 2 parts into a gen 1. Also, does that new 7 round tube hold 7 2 3/4 shells? The old one hold almost 7, NATO 2 3/4.

Cool! Very good to hear that. Even with a fixed choke?

You commented the M$ 11732 has a fixed choke, Benelli states manual choke.

[@buttermilkswagreal]

I'm sorry. I think I'm a bit ignorant here. What's a manual choke?

[@RickyDeFilippoIII]

@@buttermilkswagreal Correction - The M4 11732 has a fixed modified choke. I received incorrect info from the dealer. In layman's terms a fixed choke is a slight modification at the end of the barrel that is fixed in place by the manufacturer - can't be removed. A shotgun with a manual choke has a threaded barrel and which allows you to interchange multiple "chokes" which are slight variations at the end of the barrel that change the shot spread.

[@RickyDeFilippoIII]

Correction - I received my 11732 and it has a fixed choke, dealer provided incorrect info to me...

[@618Thermal]

@@buttermilkswagreal Mesa Tactical told me all of there shell holders on their website will fit this handgaurd now. I am in contact with benelli for the handgaurd picatinny rails.

It's from Wellsmade Co. They're kind of meme/joke slings, but they're actually pretty good slings. They're thin though. So if you have a heavier gun you might one to buy a sling pad for it. Theirs or someone else's.

[@TheJetlife94]

my wife just surprised me an M4 for my birthday and I fuckin love it! Im not a huge fan of the rail (prefer m Lok) so I ordered the Midwest industries. That's the only thing I'm changing. Everything else is perfect. But I agree, it took me a minute to assemble it with that rail. The manual didn't help much.

[@buttermilkswagreal]

Lol lucky guy right here! Yeah, I was interested in the Midwest Industries handguard because it pretty gives you the original M4 profile, but it's M-Lok. And I know Midwest Industries makes good shit. But like I said to another commentator, I think I'm just going to stick to this handguard unless the mounting system fails. I'm focusing on getting some dual tubes so I can't be dishing out money here and there right now.
