What’s Included
- Benelli M4 Tactical 12 Gauge semi-automatic shotgun
The M4’s A.R.G.O. twin short-stroke piston system is designed for dependable cycling across 2 3/4 and 3 inch shells. The 18.5 inch barrel balances maneuverability with sight radius, and the 5+1 capacity supports practical defensive and duty-oriented applications.
Construction is focused on durability: a phosphated steel barrel with a chrome-plated bore pairs with a hard-anodized black aluminum receiver. The synthetic furniture includes a fixed pistol-grip stock with a sling slot and rubber buttpad, plus a textured black synthetic forend for positive control. Length of pull is 14 inches.
Sighting and mounting features are well executed. The LPA-pattern ghost-ring rear sight is click-adjustable with UP and R indicators, matching a protected front post for fast alignment. A receiver-top MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail, secured by four mounting screws, offers a solid base for accessories.
Markings and origin details add clarity and authenticity. The receiver is marked BENELLI USA CORP – ACCOKEEK, MD – MADE IN ITALY, while the barrel carries BENELLI ARMI S.P.A. – URBINO – MADE IN ITALY along with Italian proof marks. Additional identifiers include a bolt carrier marked BENELLI ARMI SYSTEM, a model marking m4 on the receiver, and barrel code TM45947R20. Overall finish presents a two-tone appearance: a black-anodized receiver and controls contrasted with gray/green phosphate on the barrel, barrel extension, front sight base, and magazine tube.
