Should You Buy The Military Armament Corp MAC 1014 | Benelli M4 Clone | 500 round Test and Review

In today’s video, we burn through 500 rounds on this Military Armament Corporation MAC 1014 12 gauge shotgun, imported by SDS Imports. Turkish Benelli M4 clones are growing ever popular here in the states so we grabbed one at random and test it to see if it is a good potential buy.

Well done review. 🎉

[@34thOvercastDivision]

Thanks guys!

[@mrkurleygunna]

All I have to say is man I'm so glad I ordered these shotguns for my store. Sold already lol

[@34thOvercastDivision]

Hey we’re happy to hear it!

[@37gdog]

If anyone is interested RX Arms makes a mag extension that doesn't have to be removed to disassemble the gun, but it is a grey color, not black. Shell Tactical also makes one that doesn't require removal.

[@robcam817]

Do you use the shell tactical 2rd extension? Seems just by looking at it, you'd need to remove it to get the barrel off.

[@37gdog]

@@robcam817 No, I used the RX arms and it does not need removed.

[@CMB21497]

I prefer the field stock on these things. I don't need a pistol grip on a shot gun. Also, I love the walnut.

[@34thOvercastDivision]

Agreed. The walnut looks and feels very nice.

[@billroberts9044]

I feel your struggles brother. I live in IL, I understand. I have the Benelli as well as multiple post patent Copies. I will assure everyone, a manufacturer, located it the same town as Benelli, Benelli, Baretta, & Stoger Factory is a plus. I have a friend who lives less than an hour away, and has family who work at B,B,&S factory. He explained the difference in the different exporters. Some are satisfied with the cheapest they can get, while others supply a Quality Control standard that must be met. So I asked him to find out who's the most concerned about Quality Control & Quality Assurance. It was almost a month and he told me all about two US Importers. One buys only quality firearms and checks and tweets a few things when the arrive, adding multiple upgrades his customers want. The other does the same thing, but doesn't only offer the Tacticool extras, but multiple versions of the firearm. As well as multiple firearm models. Saving money on transportation costs, by filling a 52' high boy shipping container. After a little research I ordered the same version as you have. Dismantling it and the patented original. It had NONE of the items that others had talked about. After 2,000 rds, zero feeding issues, no excessive wear, no hokey looking machine marks, junked up piston, not ghost loading and cycling, loose screws, blah, blah, blah. I have sold my other versions, and a buddy's friend wants the "Patented Version"... When my "out of stock" order goes thru. Avoid the propaganda and foolish issues because some clown didn't clean & lube his new firearm and check all fasteners. If you read a test or review that includes this lack of due diligence, move on, the guys knowledge and understanding is sub par. Take it from experience, excessive experience at that. Want a Benelli? Order 4 of these for about the SAME MONEY. Want to know why they are this cheap? The monetary value of the Lira was under 60% of what it was, compared to the dollar. I had a guy tell me all about the Turkish Knock Off's, while carrying a Glock Gen 3 "Knock Off" and never owning a Benelli or a post patent version manufactured a block away from B,B,&S. with the same machinery, and a talented & experienced work force that got laid off from Beretta. Including engineers, machinist, and gunsmiths. But he had all the negative propaganda down pat. Just didn't know any of the details. And wasn't interested in learning. Boys, it pays to do your research and gather the facts and data, because without it, you sound like fools. Does yours say... Manufacturered By AKSA Arms?

[@signal-0productions183]

I liked mine so well I bought a second one. As long as you run "Game Loads" at 1200+ FPS or more the SG will function fine. The lighter sub 1200 FPS "Target Loads" are problematic, not really a deal breaker. I put a US made hammer, HG, and follower to make mine 922(r) compliant then added SDS's mag extension. At 50 yards the SG stacks the Fed LE127 1oz. slug on top of each other. The Mesa Tactical side saddle and Truckee HG fit like a glove. Both of mine were well under $400 shipped/tax from BattleHawk Armory. Great deal IMO.

[@noclass2gun342]

it should have come into the country 922r compliant

[@mitchelperkins6723]

SDS offers the extension tube for around $44. Got mine in 3 days. Works great

[@34thOvercastDivision]

That’s really good

[@bluelinepatriot]

I live in a free state. I'm getting the wood stock one. I'd rather that than the M4 stock. They say there is about a 100 round break in period

[@34thOvercastDivision]

Wood stock is a vibe for sure.

[@davidgeorge5095]

Thank you for mentioning about the "adjustable stock" on the M1014 breacher.. I am going to go with this walnut wood option, looks great. Thanks

[@34thOvercastDivision]

Not a problem. Gotta let people know, since even I thought it was truly adjustable before SDS Imports said it wasn’t.

[@Ferrum_Armory_llc]

Looks like it would be a fun range gun. I need some semi auto shotgun goodness in my life lol

[@34thOvercastDivision]

It was a long but fun range day

[@humpy936]

Thanks for the video,I’ve got my eye on one of these, I actually prefer the wood traditional stock without a pistol grip and funky adjustable stock, but I’m also old as shit!😂

Mossberg 930 SPX man myself, but this seems to be worth a look, almost 2 of them for the price of 1 Mossberg.

I might consider this over a Mossberg series shotgun. This is CA compliant too.

Great review....heading to my local armory! I have been researching this for a couple of weeks now.

[@34thOvercastDivision]

[@robkupniewski6416]

The Carlesons extension does not fit. The tube that it comes with has M2 Benelli threads on the barrel end. The threads into receiver are Benelli M4 threads. I replaced the tube with a 7 rounder.

[@pushmotivation-__asher1335]

Got mine for $325 plus shipping 🎉

[@sluggou812beotch]

You can have a pistol grip on a shotgun in WA but it has to be part of the stock. AR style are banned.

[@regondi]

Why do people in Washington tolerate that shit?! Come on guys!!

[@redline1916]

Because of the new people that come in from other restrictive states and the fact nobody wants to go to jail, that's why. Where I live, NJ, it's generationally bred through genetics. People here have been democrats for over 50 or 60 years now and it gets passed down each generation unless the individual has recently moved in. Further past 60 years, let's say their lineage has been in NJ for 100 years or over, they tend to be very conservative. It's why I get excited every time someone from the south or Texas visits or moves in, because 99% of the time they are conseratives and can change this place for the better, while the new yorkers attempting to turn the opposite end here get angry and leave and the natives who have been here for around the 60 year period can leave too because they have a problem with lax gun laws.

[@123karismith]

[@cjbecker1683]

From other "reviews" the manual says a hotter/heavier load to break-in this shotgun. What did you start out with by chance? Got an ad for this running $350.......so I'm searching here & looking good👍

[@34thOvercastDivision]

First 40 rounds was a mix of federal #8 shot, buck and 3” magnums while also filming the shotgun spread test video. Primarily the #8 shot.

[@dainironfoot102]

I didn't know gas guns were susceptible to weak shouldering.

[@schoolboymafia]

I would rather a used Benelli than a new Turkish knock off. Which is what I did.

[@34thOvercastDivision]

Respectful decision

[@TheeGentleFist]

Order Benelli parts for it, being they are universal.

[@ToughGerms]

Good for you, Italian parts are also foreign lol buy a Lambo while you're at it.

[@CertifiedSunset]

If I'm correct, isn't the break-in period on these like 100 rounds?

40-100, yes. This one was up and running normally pretty quickly

Is there a quality difference between this and the Panzer manufacturer

Can’t speak on that first hand. The story is most Turkish clones all come from the same factory or factories though. So they could be the same.

[@jckelsey2047]

Yet another lacking review. How did it wear? Is it wore out after 4-500 hundred rounds? I mean, just because it still chambers and fires a round tell me very little about the quality, to be honest. Those gas rods could be mushroomed and nearly at the end of their operability.

[@34thOvercastDivision]

Fair point. Maybe a fallow up video is needed

[@jckelsey2047]

@@34thOvercastDivision I have watched several "burn down" videos where they push up to 500 rounds thru a gun and and call it a winner yet do not even mention a tear down inspection to see WHAT that did to the gun. All that does for me is raise more questions and red flags before I buy!

Nope 500 bucks waisted is 500 twords a good gun. . Im not too impressed with the benelli either. For 2 grand a 6 shot cap aint worth it. Beretta has it all covered ...you need to take that break in crap and limp wristed crap someware else

[@bobg1685]

Here's the thing: not every $500 clone is a waste of money, and not everyone can afford 2k for an M4. I agree that the Name Brand is great if one has the cash, but most peeps have great success with clones even if they just burn it in. If all of these were returned they would stop selling. Having said that, I'll keep my fingers crossed when I get my clone (as soon as I save $600.)
