Description
The Benelli M1014 is the civilian version of the shotgun issued to the U.S. Marine Corps, and it carries the American flag engraved on the receiver to prove it. It runs on Benelli’s A.R.G.O. (Auto-Regulating Gas-Operated) system, a self-cleaning, twin-piston design that cycles 2-3/4" and 3" shells without adjustment and has a reputation for running when it matters. External parts wear an anti-reflective MILSPEC black finish.
This California model uses the skeletonized military-style stock locked in a fixed position, with a pistol grip and removable cheek piece, so it stays legal in the state. Adjustable ghost ring and front sights come standard, and a Picatinny rail on top takes a red dot or other optic. The 18.5" barrel holds 5+1 rounds and has a fixed Modified choke. Order online and pick it up at Brute Dynamics in Thousand Oaks, CA once your DROS clears.
