Benelli M4 M1014 Tactical Celebration Edition 12 Gauge Semi-Auto Shotgun – 18.5" Barrel, Telescoping Stock
The Benelli M4 M1014 Tactical Celebration Edition brings the battle-proven U.S. Marine Corps shotgun to the civilian market, adding a factory-engraved U.S. flag on the receiver and a 3-position telescoping skeletonized stock. Its chrome-lined 18.5" barrel, ARGO dual-piston gas system, and ghost-ring sights deliver the rugged reliability and fast handling buyers expect from an M4, while the 2024 Italian proof marks confirm recent manufacture.

This M1014 Celebration Edition is built on Benelli’s proven ARGO self-regulating dual-piston gas system, engineered to run reliably with a wide range of 2¾" and 3" 12-gauge loads. The piston assembly vents excess gases automatically, reducing felt recoil and keeping the action cleaner.
The receiver is precision-machined from 7075-T6 aluminum and finished in black anodizing. A factory-installed Picatinny top rail allows direct attachment of optics, and the adjustable ghost-ring rear sight pairs with a protected blade front post for fast target acquisition.
Benelli fits this model with a 3-position telescoping skeletonized stock featuring an integrated pistol grip and a 13.5" length of pull for compact storage and rapid shouldering. The ribbed two-piece polymer fore-end offers a secure, heat-resistant grip.
Unique to the Celebration Edition, a laser-engraved U.S. flag adorns the right rear of the receiver. Italian CIP star-burst proofs and an “IT24” date code verify 2024 proof-testing, aligning with Benelli SKU 11701.
A 5+1 import-compliant magazine tube, chrome-lined 18.5" barrel, and aftermarket Velcro side-saddle shell carrier round out a feature set tailored for defensive, duty, or range applications.
