What are the differences between the M-2, and the military version of the M-4? The magazine tube looks different, but other than that, I can't see much if any difference.
New Benelli m2 "3 gun"
4
Just picked this baby up about a week ago and got a chance to blast about 100 rounds today. Ran some birdshot, 00 buck, slugs, and some 3" loads.
I was a bit apprehensive about spending upward of $2500 for a shotgun, but this baby shoots like a dream with all kinds of loads. Its from the Benelli performance shop and I believe the work is done by Benny Hill.
It comes with the standard magazine cap and spring, also the Nordic extension, which of course I had to put on and holds 8+1 of the 2 3/4. Speed loading is easy and the comfortech stock does make a difference.
I'm getting into 3 gun and my conclusion after today is that this shotgun is well worth the price. This is replacing my 930SPX

M2 uses an inertia system and the M4 uses the argo gas system. If you put a bunch of tacticool crap on an m2, it may not cycle light loads, where the m4 will.
Where did you find one? I've been looking and they're nowhere. I realize they're very limited... but come on.
I really want to get a M2 from accurate irons.
So if I'm right the differences are charging handle, welded lifter, ground and smoothed out receiver, nordic mag tube?

Sweet shotgun man, congratulations!
I see the lifter is filled in/welded. Can the 3-gun variety of the M2 be "ghost loaded"? (Is the bolt any different?)
ETA: Congrats on an awesome gun. I've got an M2 Field that I love.

I got it from Able Ammo, but I see they dont even have it listed any more.Where did you find one? I've been looking and they're nowhere. I realize they're very limited... but come on.
Even tho its inertia driven, the thing cycles low brass loads without a hiccup, even while laying prone and not having it shouldered well.
Benelli says don't use anything lighter than a 3 dram 1-1/8oz load in their inertia guns, but plenty of folks out there load and shoot 1oz loads with no problem.I got it from Able Ammo, but I see they dont even have it listed any more.

The lightest load I've used since I don't reload 12ga is the cheap stuff (win or fed) from wallyworld which is 3 dr.eq. 1-1/8oz. Zero problems so far.
I really want an M2 but don't think I could afford the $2500 price tag. What about buying an M2 Field for like $1200 and throwing on a tube extension, some sights, and a couple other goodies? Think you could save $500 without too much loss of quality?
I'd look for a used M1S90 for around $600 or so...plenty of them out there.I really want an M2 but don't think I could afford the $2500 price tag.

That's a good idea, but I kinda have my heart set on something new.I'd look for a used M1S90 for around $600 or so...plenty of them out there.
Did a little shopping just now and I can get the extension, sights, and charging handle for less than $150, and I pry wouldn't get the handle anyway. So if I get the M2 field for $1100-$1200 I could potentially save $1150-$1250. It wouldn't have the welded lifter or bored-out receiver though. Then again, am I willing to pay $1150 for that?
Don't know a whole lot about em but the Benelli's are sweet
i have a camo m2 in perfect cond im trying to get 800 for it am i pricing it too low what are the differences between yours and mine
